The Me & Mine Project – December 2016

This month I’m so happy to be linking up, for the final month of 2016, with the wonderful Me & Mine Project. I was planning to take some photos of the five of us over Christmas with the tree as a backdrop, but this month has been so crazy busy, and then Christmas didn’t really go to plan – both myself and Izzie came down with a sickness bug on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and Ell felt a bit funny a few days after Christmas. In our Christmas lunch photo, you can see Izzie looking very pale – she…

The Siblings Project – December 2016

I can’t believe it is halfway through December – it seems like I only just wrote November’s Sibling post. If I thought the last few months were hectic, I really had no idea. December has brought utter madness to our already chaotic house. We’ve had two nativities – Izzie was a Shepherd, and Ollie was a king. Izzie unfortunately missed her second performance, as she came down with a high temperature and sore throat, which Ollie had had a few days before. Mason then seemed to get it, and was feeling really sorry for himself, and then he came out…

Oh Christmas Tree

Every year the weekend that is closest to the 1st December we go and pick our christmas tree. The year this was Saturday 27th November. We went less than 5 minutes down the road to the Charlton Park Estate and had great fun wandering around the trees before finally picking one. Here are some of our photos from the day. We also vlogged our trip and I will leave the link below….                             Here is our blog – be sure to pop over to youtube and check…

The Me & Mine Project – November 2016

I am linking up again with the fantastic Me & Mine Project this month. I love that we have a monthly family photo because of this, although this month I left it way too late with everything going on, and we ended up with the tripod in the living room. It was getting near to the kids bedtime and it was a struggle but we got a couple of half decent photos – I think if everyone is looking the same way it is nothing short of a miracle. This month has been as hectic as ever. With Christmas fast…

The Trees that are now grown up #chasingnature

Two Sundays ago, the weather was looking perfect for a dog walk – it was chilly but the rain from the previous day had dried up and we were all in need of some fresh air. I took my camera along with the intention of getting some shots of the kids running around. Badminton Estate is near my parents house and there are loads of places to wander, and big open spaces, perfect for wild kids and crazy dogs. This is mainly a photo heavy post, but I just wanted to point out the trees in the first photo. When…

Playing in the Leaves #chasingnature

When you are little there isn’t any better fun in Autumn, than playing in the leaves. My mum has two big trees in her garden, an Acer tree with beautiful golden leaves, and a cherry blossom trees on which the leaves go a gorgeous red. We had a plan a few weeks ago to go out and take some photos of the kids and Ollie was feeling very under the weather, and so we ended up in mums garden, playing with the leaves. Last Autumn Mason was very little and so this is his first experience of leaves – and…
