London with the kids
In the August of 2019, I decided to meet my beautiful sister-in-law with her girls in London and do a bit of sightseeing with the kids. My oldest, Tom, was 11 and the youngest, Leo, was 4. Travelling to London on the train seemed the easiest way to get there and I knew the kids…
Beach Day!
As the weather is so lovely, I thought it would be a good time to share one of our favourite beach stories! One summer about 8 years about when our kids were aged between 4 and 11, Sean was working most of the day on a Saturday and so was a good friend of mine,…
Camping with young children!
We have been camping with the same family every year for the last 11 years, since our youngest, Leo, was 2 months old. This means we have quite a few funny stories. Camping with toddlers leads to some hilarious moments. When we recently went away, we were chatting about some of these, and I knew…
Camping Acrobatics
Enjoy this blog written by Tom! Another classic camping moment comes from two fathers of the respective families, my dad and Adam. Each time we go camping, once in May and once in July, the men (I’m happy to be included in that category) go to the pub for a pint and we get meat…
Sean’s 40th birthday fail day!
When Sean was turning 40, we made all kinds of plans to have family and friends over. It was going to be great fun. We had family come over and he had his presents from them. As the day wore on, he was feeling a bit under the weather. The next day, after family had…
Kid’s eye view!
I have compiled two stories into one here because I feel like they both fall into one category of “How we saw Mum do it” because the funny part of the story is not what actually happened but the way we, the kids, saw it using the beautiful imagination God blessed us with! The first…
Covid Stories
If you have read my blog series on ‘Moves and Miracles’, then you’ll know that we had to move out of our home and into a friends flat during the full covid lockdown in 2020. This resulted in lots of stories that are often recounted around our dinner table. Everyone has covid stories and so…
Key Dramas Part Two
This is a recent story that has been shared pretty widely but causes laughter still! As last year was quite a tough year, we decided to go away in October half term. We booked a lovely Airbnb with a hot tub, next to a golf club in Norfolk, for four nights. The kids were excited…
Camping Dramas Part Two
This is a rare story where we were just bystanders! But it still makes us laugh every time we think of it. For a few years, the family we camp with, the Parretts, had two dogs. A springer spaniel and a border collie. They were both energetic and loved to go for a walk in…
Spring time Fidgets!
Every year at this kind of time, I find myself getting fidgety for change! It must be the sun coming out and giving me extra energy, but Sean’s face drops when he sees me wandering around with the tape measure in my hand! Over the years, it has resulted in some very amusing moments. Several…
