I am going to be a MIDWIFE

If I could do it all over again Have you ever started a sentence with those words? I have done so many times. Eventually James maybe got a bit tired of it and asked me “well why can’t you?” I had my excuses such as “we have kids now”, “it is too hard”, “I am …

Cinnamon Cookies

Cinnamon Cookies I love traditions, especially around Christmas time.  Creating new traditions as a family is very special as I know that these are going to be one of the things that my children will associate with Christmas.  Me and James have been making these cookies every Christmas since we meet and little JJ loves …

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

It has been a week and a bit since we arrived in the Faroe Islands.  As usual we flew direct from Edinburgh to the Faroes with Atlantic Airways.  What made this trip different was that we were travelling with my parents.  I have not been on a plane with my parents since 1993, so this …

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 …

Mammas Day Off

Guess what, I have had a day off!  A whole 9 hours just to myself.  This has not happened since before JJ was born.  James has taken JJ to granny whilst he has a meeting for a couple of hours and then he is going on an adventure with daddy to get presents for me …

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 …

My favourite Banana Loaf

We always buy lots of bananas and we are never sad to see a few of them get a bit over ripe and brown.  To be honest we actually often let that happen on purpose, so that we can make banana loaf. This recipe is a one that I have put together myself.  I am …
