    The Siblings Project {November 2017}

    November 18, 2017 - By 

    Yay for half term adventures! We had an amazing week away, thankfully, because since we’ve been home the weather has been cold and miserable and it’s been super hard to take nice photos. We stayed in three different places and did lots of exploring which made for some fun photos, here are my favourites from the past month. I really like Bristol and loved exploring it with the children. We visited the Christmas Steps and couldn’t resist getting the children to stand in the alcoves. From Bristol it was a quick car ride to visit my mum and her local…

    Siblings {October 2017}

    October 18, 2017 - By 

    You can tell we’re back at school as there was such slim pickings for my monthly Siblings post. Looking back over my photos it doesn’t feel like we’ve had many adventures, just homework, after school clubs and not too much fun. Thankfully I found a few photos for my monthly post. Now my children are at different schools it seems that they look forward to seeing and playing with each other after school and at weekends. I’m not sure how long this will last but it has been so lovely watching them play together, read books together and help each…

    Siblings {September 2017}

    September 23, 2017 - By 

    It’s funny how much can happen in a month. It’s been four weeks since I wrote my last Siblings post and I loved sorting out photos to include in my latest round up. For a start the days were a lot longer and warmer a month ago. And we were enjoying a lovely holiday – not back in the school routine like we are now. Our summer holidays were good and I’m glad we had a few adventures around the country. One of my favourite days out was in Bristol. The children love to stay in hotels and didn’t mind…

    Siblings {August 2017}

    August 17, 2017 - By 

    As a busy mama of two monkeys the Summer holidays have been a tad exhausting. My children have a lot of energy and a voracious appetite for fun! We have been having some amazing days out which have provided the perfect opportunity to take lots of photographs. The past month has been so much fun, and all the days out actually made for some great photographs. I can’t wait to update our photo wall with some of my favourites. Fortunately my children have been getting on really well. I love watching them play together and seek out each other. I took…

    Siblings {July 2017}

    July 16, 2017 - By 

    I’m sure that I’m feeling like most parents right now – enjoying the feeling of life slowing down for the end of term next week. Life reached fever pitch just around the time my son took his Year 2 SATs and since them I have felt him slowly unwind, becoming the lovely happy boy I know him to be. I think it’s safe to say he has done little work at school this half term. Their Leavers Assembly seems to have taken a silly amount of the school day and they’ve had ‘Golden Time’ daily, rather than on the usual…

    Siblings {June 2017}

    June 15, 2017 - By 

    Blogging is feeling like hard work since I started my new job. Working outside of the home is tiring and I’m beginning to resent the constant emails I receive which expect so much in return for so little. It’s not why I started blogging and I’m not sure how I’ve got stuck in such a rut. So I’ve decided to spend time writing about the things I want to – my children. I’m not sure what they’re both going through at the moment (other than perhaps a slightly stressed mum with a new job) but Little Sis has been quite…
