Things need to change, bring back photo albums and going to see a family photographer
I remember when I was little we had loads of photo albums . I used to love looking through them and talking about what was happening . Remembering grandparents and family members who had passed . Keeping their memories alive . Nowadays all pictures are kept on our phones and laptops . How many times have you sat there and looked through them .

When Ava was around 5 months old I broke the screen on my…

Personally I thought the tickets were a really good price at only £16.37 for an adult. As…

My first birthday as mommy
I have just celebrated my first birthday as a mommy and unlike most years I didn’t think about it until literally a few days before hand. Normally I would be thinking about all the things I may ask for ( I’m not all about the taking honest !). This time last year I had what was meant to be my 12 week scan when actually it was a 16 week scan ( maths was never my strong point ) !. I though that this was the best present I could of ever asked for . This year I didn’t have the excitement of going for my very first scan but I did have my…

The day of the photo shoot came and I was a little nervous about having my picture taken . I hadn’t got used to this new mommy body yet and was finding it hard to come to terms with that fact that I now have wobbly bits .( before being pregnant I was a nice size 8 ! Hadn’t seen them size 8 jeans since 12 weeks pregnant !!). The other thing is I’m rubbish at having my photo taken It…
