I'm a bit disappointed by myself. October was not a good month for me remembering to take photos! It had such potential...the girls' 21st birthday...half term...choir performance...and yet I was seriously useless. My menopause is menopausing at the moment and I am sleeping really badly. No sleep means my rather hapless brain is even more…

Precious Moments in September
September is a huge month for birthdays. Gary's was the first, on the first. Becca was starting her football on this day so Gary and I celebrated the day before by going out to the Spaghetti Tree for dinner. I am doing my best to actually get back into the habit of taking photos wherever…
Precious Moments
Welcome back to my precious moments post! My children, who are now adults, were very sad when I stopped writing our family memories down each week. Looking back, I'm sad I didn't too. The posts make me capture the many moments of beauty to be found in our day to day life. Following are a…
Precious Moments Catch Up
I thought I'd give you a quick catch up of what is going on in the older children's lives now they are adults. Thomas (21) Thomas works full time as a worship pastor at a fairly local church. He is completely independent and up until last week lived on his own in a small flat…
Homeschool Log Book {November}
This is all the work that the girls have completed over the last few weeks. These weeks have been filled with winter colds and bugs. We've needed to take days off here and there and it has felt more disjointed than I like. On the plus side, Abigail expressed the wish to do something more…
Precious Moments {October 2022}
My twins turned twenty this month. Twenty?! I'm feeling a little...sad, I think. I miss the little girls they were. Parenting them has been such a privilege. They were the easiest going babies, which continued until their teen years. I feel so utterly blessed to have been their mummy, and to have been the mummy…
Precious Moments
I love Saturday mornings! We all get out of bed...well...whenever, really. I get myself a steaming mug of freshly brewed coffee and head back to bed. This half an hour is like a balm to my very soul. Yes, I know, that sounds a bit extreme, but without a half an hour to myself each…
Precious Moments {September 2022}
Welcome to our September Precious Moments! I have done my best to include everyone because my twins get very tetchy if there are not enough photos of them in the Precious Moments posts! Literally, I only write these for them because they were so upset when I stopped writing them at the beginning of the…
Precious Moments: Final Edition
This is going to be my last Precious Moments post. It seems to me that the government are tightening their belts in terms of home education. And I think it might be a good idea to change my Precious Moments post into a more formal record of the girls work throughout the week. I don't…
December Precious Moments
Where has this month gone? I blinked and it is now almost January. I love this time of year. A fresh slate, with no mistakes on it...yet (almost quoting Anne of Green Gables 👍). Of course, through Jesus, every day is a new day with no mistakes in it. Maybe, new day resolutions could be…
November Precious Moments
Can you believe Christmas is in less than a month?! Christmas has well and truly come to our house, and if Becca had anything to do with it, it would have started the day after Christmas last year! Yes, my youngest does love anything Christmas related… as you can see on family video night: As…
October Precious Moments
I guess the biggest news this month is that Abigail was baptised! It was such a lovely service, and I was once again just really pleased that we did not get Abigail baptised at birth. It is so special watching a child grow in their faith and make their own decision to be baptised. Abigail…
September Precious Moments
Lots of lovely learning going on in our house right now. Lillie and Ads have started university. Lil has thoroughly enjoyed every fresher event she could, and has had a ball! Ads has been out with the Conservative Club at uni for a pub crawl! He still managed to catch the right train home and…
Precious Moments
I’m afraid today’s post will not be very substantive. I have felt off kilter for the past week, with a tummy upset, sore throat and just feeling generally ill and really tired. I slept most of yesterday (which is very very unusual for me to sleep during the day) and feel like I am maybe…
Precious Moments
I almost didn’t write this as I feel like I have spent the week either making hospital appointments, worrying about hospital appointments, keeping hospital appointments and celebrating the good news afterwards. There have been no photos of busy and joyful children because this week has been full of tears, worry and at times terror. A…
