We’re back in! Posted on March 6, 2017 By Becky Just a really quick post today, but one that fills me with so much joy to write- we are back in, I repeat, we are BACK IN!!!! After 6 weeks, living out of suitcases, sharing bedrooms/beds with kids, and probably driving my in-laws mad with all of our stuff and early starts, we finally managed to move back in this weekend just gone. I feel absolutely shattered now, after 2 days of getting unpacked, cleaned and vaguely sorted once more, but it’s been worth every second. Our builders are back in today just to finish off (hello, lovely open shelving), but we slept in our own beds the past two nights, and I’m so, so pleased with how it’s all gone, despite a few hairy (and expensive) moments with our flooring. I’m also SO glad we bit the bullet and did the work now, as opposed to nearer when the baby is due in a few months, as I’m not sure my nerves could take it. I don’t recommend building work whilst pregnant (this is twice we’ve done this now!), but needs must. I’ll be sharing full posts on our kitchen and bathroom renovations soon, but the photo above is a snippet of how the kitchen currently looks without the final touches. We are finally home sweet home.

Family Diary Snaps from Dorset Posted on November 2, 2016May 2, 2025 Last week we descended on Corfe Castle in Dorset for 5 days in half term to celebrate slightly early my Father-in-law’s 70th birthday. We were so lucky that my in-laws decided to treat our family, plus Adam’s brothers and their families, to a stay in what I can honestly say… Read More
Family Diary My Siblings in October Posted on August 31, 2016August 13, 2021 A few days late to the party with this ‘siblings’ post, but I couldn’t not include this epic photo of my two, dressed up as matching foxes for their school’s annual ‘Roald Dahl’ day. If this doesn’t make them seek therapy when they’re older, I don’t know what will 😉 … Read More
Family Diary 2018 Year in Review {April – June} Posted on January 4, 2019 I’m back with the next part of our 2018 year highlights- covering from April until June. I’m kind of regretting beginning this as these posts take so long to do, what with the time it takes to upload the pics from my iPhone (seriously!), but I know I’ll be glad… Read More
