The Most Romantic Time Of The Year

The Most Romantic Time Of The Year

Christmas is a really special time of year for our family, it’s where we all began. On a very cold, icy Christmas Eve back in 1995 a shy, slightly awkward 17 year old boy sent his best mate over to tell a 16 year old girl he liked her….and the rest is history. That’s not to say it’s all been plain sailing, And I had to wait, and wait, and wait before my husband eventually put a ring on it.  Every Christmas I would hope there would be an extra special present under the tree.  It seemed fitting, we met…

Saturday Night Takeaway

Saturday Night Takeaway

It’s been months and months since I wrote an Ordinary Moments post, I fell out of the habit and with time at a minimum it was one of those things that had to give.  Admittedly, recently, I’ve lost my way with this little blog of mine, lost sight of why I started it in the first place, trying to be something perhaps I’m not.  I’ve struggled with what to write, worried far too much about what audience I should be targeting and all of that took the enjoyment that I used to get from this.  So I’ve decided to stop…

The Last Day

The Last Day

And almost as soon as it began, it was over. Today was my last official day of maternity leave. I’m not in work tomorrow as Thursday is one of my days off but I am back to the day job on Friday.  The past 10 months have gone so quickly but it feels like G has always been here. Already those early newborn days seem a distant memory. We did have plans to go to the Trafford centre today, a potter around the shops, a bit of lunch but my baby boy has had a bit of a cold so…

The Siblings Project {January 2017}

The Siblings Project {January 2017}

I was so excited to be able to join in with The Siblings Project when G was born and loved taking picture of them both together.  Towards the end of last year life got a bit busy and despite taking the photos, I didn’t actually get around to writing up my Siblings post.  Something I am quite annoyed about now as there will a gap in the monthly photos (I may go back and write up the posts in anyway, just for me!) The last Siblings post I wrote was back in September when G was three and a half…
