  • ad | features gifted items :: these calm corners of Emilia’s room are so often the perfect place for reclaiming some quiet among the chaos of our days. Today has been a non stop day, ticking the last of the Christmas jobs off our list. On days like today it feels so good when we finally get home and I can sit down to nurse Emilia in peace in this beautiful space with zero distractions - for the both of us. 💛 . Tonight, once Emilia’s in bed, I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit. I’ll be getting my festive on by arranging her Christmas Eve box ready for Tuesday (which I bought from @fredandrobin, who previously gifted me the sweet memory box and clothes hanger pictured), building her play kitchen from the family and creating a couple of simple eucalyptus wreaths. Now I just have to decide which Christmas films I want to watch to complete the mood... suggestions welcome! 🌿✨
  • :: embracing the simple things; cosy evenings indoors, the warm glow of the fairy lights and family cuddles on the sofa in our Christmas jumpers watching Harry Potter. The festive season is infinitely more magical having this darling girl to create and share memories with ❤️✨ #emiliahannarose . . . . #embracetheseasons #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #seasonalstories #seekthesimplicity #agameoftones #capturelight #upandautumn #momentsofmine #livethelittlethings #documentyourdays #pocketsweetness #magic_shots #winterstories #rememberingthesedays #tinybigadventures #takemyheartdear #littlesnippetsofus #postthepeople #natureheals #magicofchildhood #thehappynow #thesemagicaldays #thingsiwanttoremember #documentingmotherhood #motherhood_magic #mynameismama #myjosefinabag
  • :: this time of year always makes me reflect on how much my life has changed and how much I’ve grown. I don’t really make New Years resolutions as I find I tend to set my expectations for myself too high (and this triggers my anxiety) but I’ve found it so helpful to just set a simple intention for my day-to-day life. For me that will likely be to try to except more help, in whatever capacity that may be. I would love to know your thoughts on resolutions and what intentions you may have too!? 💙 . . . . #embracetheseasons #holdthemoments #livethelittlethings #seasonalstories #agameoftones #momentsofmine #livethelittlethings #documentyourdays #pocketsweetness #magic_shots #winterstories #rememberingthesedays #tinybigadventures #littlesnippetsofus #postthepeople #natureheals #thehappynow #thesemagicaldays #thingsiwanttoremember #lovegreatbritain
  • :: I think a little bit of magic is very much needed today ✨ wishing you a beautiful evening with those you love, friends x
  • :: calm Sunday scenes 💫
  • ad :: Autumn 🍃🍂 you are my favourite season for the magical light, unexpectedly glorious sunsets and the abundance of beautiful woodland walks with my littlest love. . We bought Emilia her first pair of wellies a couple of weeks back, hoping to take advantage of the rainy forecast and her love for exploring... but it’s only this past weekend that she has really found her confidence in walking in them! Before this point she would just stand rooted to the spot – an unusual sight for this little athlete of ours. . Here she is, on a brief break from running through all the crunchy autumn leaves and sweeping a pathway clear of them with the biggest stick she could carry 😍 we’re looking up at the leaves falling from their branches and pointing at the birds high above singing in the treetops – finding so much joy in these new discoveries for Emilia ❤️ . My bag was generously gifted by @josefinabags and I couldn’t be more grateful. I chose one of their beautiful backpacks from their stunning collection and it has become such a blessing on our days out – I’ve learnt that I definitely need both my hands free while out and about with Emilia 🤗 . #emiliahannarose #myjosefinabag #mywhiteco
  • :: a sweet scene from Emilia’s nursery. To think she was once small enough to dress on top of this chest of drawers in her little changing basket 💛 Now it’s a place to display some of her pretty trinkets and toys 💫
  • :: we ventured out for a beautiful autumnal wander today with the aim of capturing a few more family photos amongst the changing golden leaves. Emilia had other ideas though and napped for almost the entire walk... but not without me having to go on a pretty speedy stomp through the woods first to help her to drift off to sleep in her pushchair🏃🏻‍♀️ Not quite the relaxing walk I was hoping for but it was nonetheless a tonic to be outdoors breathing in that crisp, fresh November air. . So instead, here’s a lovely photo of us from a few weekends ago 🍂🍁✨ did you have a good weekend? . #emiliahannarose
