Half term walks, halloween and a whole heap of party food

Week in Pictures #55 - Half Term

Thursday 5 November 2020






Half term saw the girls turn one and eight and although covid put pay to any bigger birthday plans we may have had we still managed to have a nice few days celebrating! 

Ivy's birthday actually fell on the last day of term so we had a bit of one on one time with her whilst L & A were at school.  There wasn't much to do options wise what with the rubbish weather and the whole of Leeds teetering on the brink of tier 3, in fact the day itself was pretty symbolic of how her entire first year on earth has been - stuck at home with little to do thankyouverymuchcorona, but she enjoyed playing with her new toys and having an entire cake to herself so it wasn't all bad. 

At one years old Ivy is a treasure.

Little Ives, your growing! My last baby at double figures.

Ar this point you've spent more of your life in some form of a lock down than out. We've missed out on those messy play groups, baby sign language classes, mum and baby coffee dates and a whole heap more. But we've also had more un-interrupted one on one at home time than I've ever had with any of my babies before and that's pretty damn special in itself.

Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

Often you will not know the value of a moment, before it becomes a memory.

Week in pictures #46 - In which lock-down life continues

Thursday 28 May 2020


Monthly updates are something I did with both Archer and Lily and something I was intending to do with Ivy also. I found it so interesting looking back on the updates and seeing what stage each of the kids were at and when and so its a bit of a bummer that I didn't manage to keep it up this time around. But we're in the middle of a pandemic right now - my brain is pretty friend up there. I'm cutting myself some slack.

So here's where you're at at six months Ivy Willow.

Six freakin months..

Week in Pictures #45 - Quarantine day what?

Monday 20 April 2020


You hear about story tellers getting writers block. Well believe it or not it can happen to the casual blogger too! Who knew?

It’s not just been a couple of weeks of writing block for me now, it’s been coming up to a year. 
A statistic that kind of shocked me when I looked to see how long it had actually been.
