A Time To Remember

I recommend everyone to have a maternity photoshoot done and generally to take many pictures during your pregnancy.  Your children will love to see how your body grew them on the inside! These 9 months will change your life for ever.  They might both feel like they are going by very fast and very slow.  …

The Day We First Saw You

Telling friends and family that there is a new baby on the way is so exciting.  But how should it be done?! There are so many ways to do it, and like many others I might have looked on Pinterest for inspiration.  I was not very successful in my search for the perfect way to …

Gonna be a family of four

Already before JJ was born we knew, that we wished to have two children close in age.  I grew up with my little sister who was only 18 months younger than me and just like all siblings we have had ups and downs, but the ups have without a doubt made a bigger impact on …

Step out of your comfort zone with me!

As some of you know by reading my previous post about Our Stories of Motherhood, I am starting a new and exciting photography project.  When I wrote my previous post about the project it was very early days, it was literally on the day when the idea came to me.  But I just had to commit …

Mid week adventure at Gordon Castle Walled Garden

I like having a routine  and to do set things on set days.  We have days when we go to toddler groups, swim lessons and 8 hours each week JJ is with his childminder (this is when I clean the house, do laundry, cook and blog) .  Wednesday is our midweek adventure day.  I love …

Tantrums are not bad

JJ is now 19 months old and he is forming an opinion which is not always the same as ours.  A few times we have had situations where someone has said, "ohh he is having a tantrum".  I can not explain how much I dislike that sentence.  He is not having a tantrum!  He is …

Autumn candle jar

There are beautiful autumn leafs everywhere.  I can not get enough of the stunning autumn colours.  Last week we picked leafs in the neighbourhood and brought them home.  JJ loves crafts and get so excited when I take the crafts basket out of the cupboard. An empty coffee jar was on its way in the …

Mr. Egghead

Autumn is here and I love it! For some reason it is always the season when I get a bit creative. The knitting needles have found their way back out of the basked next to the sofa, we are constantly out picking leafs and sticks to glue onto paper and we have started thinking about …
