  • :: a few of my favourite things ☀️🧒🏻❤️
  • :: on Friday we visited Anglesey Abbey for their annual Dahlia Festival. We go every year, but with the weather being unexpectedly warm, it made for the most glorious family day out ☀️ . If you’re planning a trip to Anglesey Abbey, of course the Dahlias are a must-see and so too is the rose garden with the last of their summer blooms. But the avenue of trees just before the Mill is in a beautiful summer/autumn transition: a carpet of golden leaves among the cyclamen but still sheltered by the green canopy of trees above, perfect for a bit of magic dappled light. . Every time we go out for days like this, I always ask James if I should take my camera... so many times we’ve headed out, camera in tow only for me to not get an opportunity to use it (especially now that we’re following around a walking baby who loves to eat gravel 🙈). I’m so glad I managed a mini photography session (hugely thanks to grandparents and James) and hopefully I’ll find some time during the week to edit the rest of my photos so that I can share them on my blog. Such a treat of a day I would love to document more 🌺✨
  • :: from a day back in April 🧡 . The wool suit Emilia is wearing in this photo was washed and safely stored away yesterday... washing and organising her outgrown clothes has always been a task that has made me feel very very emotional – it’s bittersweet and never seems to get easier, does it? It’s like you can’t realise how much they’ve grown, and just how quickly too, until your folding their little clothes in your hands 💔 Her new wool suit from @mamaowl_ arrived today and the wonderfully generous sizing of it has made my baby suddenly seem very tiny again ☺️
  • :: a little glimpse of Emilia’s nursery 😍 . I have worked so hard on decorating and furnishing this room for the past year and a half. It’s been a passion and a frustration at times too (my mum brain in the early days had me rethinking the layout of everything!). All the odd jobs like fixing up the coat hooks, hanging the shelf and mounting the wall light – the tasks that seemed impossible to do alongside the learning curve of new parenthood, have all been ticked off the list 🙌🏼 . Of course I still have a few accessories to add as Emilia gets a little older, but I finally feel like I can now call this room ‘finished’. It’s looking almost exactly how I imagined it to, all that time ago, while standing in that very spot cradling a tiny twenty-week bump. . Quite possibly my favourite room in this house and I so hope this Emilia enjoys this space I have created for her and that it sparks her imagination endlessly as she grows 🧡✨ . . ps. I’m so excited to share more of Emilia’s completed nursery with you all in a blog post very soon!
  • :: completely obsessed with Dahlias this year. Who else finds it a challenge to resist those beautiful, complex blooms 😍 so very romantic aren’t they?! 💖
  • :: my cuddle loving, music loving and definitely cake loving, 1 year old 🧡✨🎈 #emiliahannarose
  • :: flowers are always on my mind. I usually cannot resist stopping in my tracks to admire (or photograph) them and now, every time I see a rose I think of mine; my Emilia Hanna Rose 🧡 . I achieved a good 4 hours of work today, they’re few and far between at the moment and it takes me a little longer now to get into that creative flow – and I always miss being with my girl. Emilia has been cutting her first lateral incisor and today has clearly been the peak of it (I hope!), projectile vomiting... over poor James I should add. We’re suspecting it was an allergic reaction but that coupled with teething has meant that instead of playtime after dinner, there’s been a fair few extra cuddles. Not that I mind at all, just feeling the ‘mum guilt’ at having to work earlier while she was poorly and probably needed me most. 🌿
  • :: for the past few weeks I’ve been slowly backing up all my devices and clearing out the photos in my camera roll... and oh how my gosh, I have been delaying this mammoth task for quite some time. Plus how many photos of doors or facades can one person possibly take!? This particular ‘doortrait’ was captured in April 2017 in Lavenham. It was the loveliest day spent galavanting with one of my oldest friends 🌿 something I think I could really benefit from nowadays, a solo day out with my best girls - we’re all new mamas now so it would be all the more special do have this time just for ‘us’. . Aside from that, it’s been quite an enlightening overview at my journey with photography. Seeing the progression and discovering (and still learning) my own personal style. I’ve been overthinking a lot of things lately, so it’s nice to be reminded of the simpler joys ✨📷
