Posts about our family life, you’ll get to know more about us by reading our ‘Scrapbook Loves’, Everyday Us, Sunday Scrapbook and other posts. Family posts cover all the topics that don’t really fit anywhere else!
Karma – “good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one’s actions” I’m a big believer in Karma, I feel like although you shouldn’t necessarily do a good deed to receive one you seem to be more likely to be on the end of something favourable if you do! Whenever something nice happens to me, I… Read More
Hello! Long time no see, or it feels like it anyway! I didn’t do a Sunday Scrapbook post last week as there wasn’t a great deal to report that I wasn’t already writing about and I just sort of fancied a week off! We went to Wakehurst with my mum last weekend for her birthday… Read More
If you want your child’s bedroom to be a place that they enjoy spending time playing, relaxing and sleeping, you’ll need to think about the lighting. It’s often not sufficient to rely on a single ceiling light or a few lamps to create the right type of lighting. Here are some ideas for lighting in… Read More
Arlo loves Athena. She is more or less the only person he will listen to, often I have to get her to ask him to do something to get it to happen. They’re mostly the best of friends with a few little tiffs here and there, which are easily forgotten. He really looks up to… Read More

Our family photos were taken right back at the start of the month at Legoland, at the end of a long day but we’re mostly still smiling so that’s a bonus! We’ve managed to keep the outdoors theme running for seven months now! This month we’ve not seen much of Sam really as he’s been working… Read More
I’m so pleased to be starting a Sunday Scrapbook off with positive vibes for once, first time in three weeks! This past week has been generally lovely in fact. It’s been the first full week of our Summer holidays, though Arlo had one last day with the ‘old’ childminder on Tuesday. We’ll all miss her,… Read More
On Monday last week, I bundled the kids in the car and drove up to the outskirts of London to find Mayfield Lavender Fields. Now I may be succumbing to a cliched ‘instamum’ fad but who cares! I wanted pretty pictures of my adorable offspring sat amongst the lavender! Little did I know the little… Read More
