Silas’s Birth Story

Just like that our little baby is one.  My blog has mostly been hibernating during Silas’s first year with the exception of a few drafts that I have written down.  But now is as good a time as any to get back into it and what better post to share than Silas’s birth story which …

Birthday fun and wildlife park

We have so many lovely people in our lives and seeing so many of them gather with us to celebrate JJ turning two was amazing.  Having the party over two days was great as it gave us much more time with the guests, a good excuse to eat a bit more cake and most importantly, …

JJs 2nd Birthday

When it was time for us to start thinking about planning JJ 2nd birthday we decided that we wanted it to be all about the things that he loves. He loves the beach, Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol and cake. So that is what we did. We are lucky to be surrounded by so many beautiful …

Faroese Easter Holiday

These 3 weeks in the Faroes Islands have gone by so fast.  Tonight I have packed my bags again, JJ did ofcourse decide that he did not want to sleep until 23:00, which meant that packing was a little bit hectic.  Now I am sitting here in my mum and dads kitchen.  The house is …

Sail Away With Me

I grew up by the ocean and we used to go sailing regularly, especially during spring and summer.  The picture above is me but I am not sure what age.  I think that everyone usually has that one picture of themselves from their childhood, that they remember. The picture they grew up with.  For me, …

Spring in the Faroe Islands

Spring has arrived at Gordon Castle Walled Garden

We went to the lovely Gordon Castle Walled Garden last week, and I thought that it was only fitting, that I post a blog with some of the pictures we took.  We have not been there since late January, which is way too long ago.  To see a blog post from our last visit click …

Living the Dream

Being a mother is my biggest dream.  Having lived the dream for almost two years now is a privilege.  To some it might sound strange, that this, motherhood, is living the dream.  But imagine getting to be, what you have dreamt about for as long as you remember, surely that is living the dream. I …

Our Stories of Motherhood

It is the 1st of March and spring is officially here.  I have no idea where the last two months have gone and I'm a bit sad to say that they have felt a bit insignificant to me.  Nothing special has happened, but I have come to the conclusion that this might be my own …

Thankful Thursday

I have just been swimming with JJ and now he is napping in the buggy whilst I am enjoying a Starbucks coffee.  The sunshine is beaming through the window but it is quite cold outside. You know that emotion when you all of a sudden get feel so thankful.  That is how I  am feeling …
