I’m a very lucky mother to have children and a husband who understand how hard today felt, the first ever Mother’s Day without Freddie. I had one present early, on Thursday. Today I was woken with cards and breakfast and tea this morning which was beautifully perfect. Josie made me a really wonderful card, the […]

Dear Freddie, Today you should be one year old. Today I am out of words. Only that we miss you and love you and wish you were with us. 7 candles burning under the daffodils now is no substitute for 7 of us snuggled up on the sofa after a long day of presents and […]
Remembering Freddie on his birthday
From Rich & Ella in Australia, a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. Remembering Freddie on his birthday. I also made a picture to send to StillLife 365. I’m very grateful to Angie for featuring it on his birthday. Fran wrote about him too. Angela lit a candle for him… thank you. So did Cara; […]
Learning Through Play – any other way?
Play seems to mean a multitude of different things. It means something a child does that keeps them out of their parents hair, something children do together, sometimes it means a game inside, or a game outside; to me, as a child, playing usually meant being alone, deeply engrossed in a game from my imagination […]

Of course…
The good thing about days when there isn’t a social media site in my repertoire of places to lurk that isn’t filled with birth announcements, references to babies or pictures of them, is that I can shut them all, talk to my children, do things, make things, knit, read, catch up on housework, do my […]
One week until 11 days until 2 weeks until forever.
I’ve tried not to be maudlin this March. I thought it would be so awful and it hasn’t been but suddenly it has hit me that in 6 days I should be celebrating a birthday. In 6 days I can’t say “I was pregnant this time last year. This week is it. This week is […]
The Other Nice Bits of the Week.
Fran and I have spent a very pleasant few bits of time sat at the table and making bracelets and dragons; she’s started to sell a few to friends now and has been invited to a charity coffee morning with them tomorrow. hard to know how that will go but I hope she sells some. […]
