Last week we were invited by the Bristol tourist board to experience a day trip to At-Bristol Science Centre. I love living in Bristol it is a thriving city, extremely family orientated and easy to get around. There is always something to go and see or do and many attractions in the city centre; At-Bristol…
Family
Sisters
As my two girls each grow older it is a privilege watching their bond strengthen. Holly spends a lot of time at home with Rose and I during the holidays and is a huge helping hand for me. It is lovely knowing that when I’m busy with work Rose has her favourite person in the…
Before I had a child
My gorgeous friend Aby from You Baby Me Mummy recently tagged me inviting me to share my ‘pre baby self’. Aby’s post was really beautiful so I hope I can do this tag justice… Before I had a child I wished I had someone to fill the void that I was burdened with….
Ordinary moments|Simple pleasures {Sunday 24th May}
Sometimes it can be hard for me to take a step back from my life, leave work undone and enjoy being with my children with no distractions. I love when the weather is good and we can get outside and just play. So that’s exactly what we did. I had forgotten how fun it is…
VegfestUK Bristol 23rd-24th May

At this time of year there are loads of outdoor food festivals and coming up on 23rd-24th May is VegfestUK Bristol. It’s Europe’s biggest healthy eating event and I’m really looking forward to taking the family along and…
Moving Pictures: Best of April
Haven’t we been blessed with some wonderful weather during the month of April? It’s meant lots of day trips and outings out in the sunshine for us and has been a great opportunity to work on my video and editing skills. Here’s a collection of our best bits from April, featuring Tintern-Wye Valley, Tenby, Weston…
Tintern-Wye Valley
Oh I do love holiday weekends and getting to spend an extra couple of days with Mr T. We had a busy weekend hosting friends for lunch on Sunday which was really lovely and relaxed. I had a little bit of a cheat afternoon from my Bodychef plan and cooked roast lamb with the most…
A week of Instagram-Monday 16th March

Teens vs Toddlers the low-down
So as you know I live with teenagers and a toddler at the same time. Both have their challenges but who’s harder to handle?! Mess makers Teenagers are notoriously messy, they care not about wet towels strewn about the place, growing mouldy science experiments in their bedrooms or being overly zealous when it comes to…
Age gap Mum-do I parent differently?
I have a really big age gap between my youngest and my older children. When Rose was born Holly had just turned thirteen and Lewis, fourteen. It’s funny because I had such a small age gap between my first two children and now this huge expanse of time has passed and I have now ended…

Living arrows -Monday 2nd March
I’ve been a bit slack on linking up with one of my favourite photography linkys-Living arrows. Hopefully now it is officially Spring we are in for warmer weather and lighter, brighter days. Something we all know makes for better photo ops. For now, my offering for this week is from last week when I took…

Point + Shoot-Tuesday 24th February
I’m so happy to join in Point + Shoot this week. I’m afraid what with a culmination of illness, not being up to much with the horrible weather we’ve had and no opportunity to get out my ‘big camera’, my photography projects have fallen a little by the wayside. These pictures were taken on Friday,…
My captured moment #1
As well as little Rose, I’m mama to two teenagers-Lewis and Holly. Rose happens to be my most willing subject when it comes to my photography and therefore ‘stars’ in a fair few of my posts. Especially when I link up to Living Arrows and The Ordinary Moments. Holly is not too camera shy and…

Homemade Valentine’s day card how-to
In the spirit of upcoming Valentine’s day and because I’m an old romantic at heart, I thought I’d make the lovely Mr T a homemade card. Actually, over the years Mr T has had quite a few homemade gifts and cards from me and alway ‘ooohs and ahhhs’ in all the right places, bless him!…
Point + Shoot- Tuesday 10th February
This weekend we wanted to make the most of our National Trust membership so we headed over to Dyrham Park. An ancient deer park with a wonderful walk where you can look out across Bath and the surrounding area as far as the eye can see. It’s a really wonderful place and the weather was…
#WELOVEBEEBIES we really do!
This morning I was catching up on some of my favourite blogs, as you do, only to happen across an entry to become a Beebies babystore brand ambassador. Having seen Beebies around on Twitter so knew immediately I would love to work with them. I quickly went over to look at the Beebies website only to find…

{The ordinary moments} #3 ‘park life’
An afternoon at the park, most definitely an ordinary moment but our idea of an afternoon well spent. It was a bitterly cold day so we didn’t spend as much time there as we would have liked. It makes me look forward to warmer times and better light so I can take photographs to my…
Point + Shoot 2/52
I love linking up with photography based projects and Point + Shoot is one of my favourites because it’s so easy. You can share any shot/s that you’ve snapped over the weekend and show them off. Simples! Point + Shoot is hosted by my lovely friend Aby over at You Baby Me Mummy and Em from…
{The ordinary moments} #2 ‘pooh sticks’
Sometimes the old games are the best games, and throwing little sticks into the water and watching the bubbling stream carry them away is one of the nicest games there is. Nothing fancy, no technology, no one keeping score just an ordinary game of pooh sticks on a Sunday afternoon. Heaven.
{The ordinary moments 15} #1 ‘kisses and cuddles’
I had to take some pictures of the jumper I’m wearing for an upcoming review and as always my little friend wanted to join in on the fun too. We decided to turn it into a photoshoot with with just the two of us. Rose is becoming even more charasmatic in front of…
