Goodbye 2018, hello 2019

Posted on January 2, 2019 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

New year is a time that makes me unusually sentimental, it’s nice to look back at the past year and all the memories made, while wondering what the year ahead holds. In many ways, 2018 was not a big year for us, it has passed in a blur of raising three little girls and supporting … Continue reading →

The Smile Files – September 2018

Posted on October 28, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Maybe it’s because I’m a September baby, but I usually love September, it is one of my favourite months. Although I’m always sad to say goodbye to the summer holidays, I love the new year feeling with the start of a new school year, the weather shifting, the return of boots and snuggly jumpers, the … Continue reading →

The Smile Files – June/July/August 2018

Posted on October 10, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Despite my best intentions I’m not doing very well with blogging regularly (understatement of the year!) It’s now October and there have been no June, July or August updates so instead of just skipping them altogether I thought I’d do a quick round up of a few of our summer highlights. Life was certainly busy … Continue reading →

Luna – a year old

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

I had a baby. Then I blinked. Now she’s one. Well that’s how it feels, as if my baby girl, our littlest, has grown up in the blink of an eye! I always knew Luna was destined to be the baby of our family and as she has 6 older siblings I am all too … Continue reading →

The Smile Files – May 2018

Posted on June 2, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

May is such a lovely month, there are not just one, but two bank holidays, plus half term, some beautiful sunny days and of course a royal wedding (wasn’t it fabulous, traditional and regal yet modern and personal, and what a gorgeous bride!) Our month might not have been quite as exciting as Harry and … Continue reading →

The Smile Files – April 2018

Posted on May 19, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

I recently mentioned that finding time to blog was getting more and more difficult, and so even though I loved doing the weekly series A Week of Smiles that I started very early on in blogging, it was impossible to keep up with a weekly update, so I have renamed it The Smile Files and … Continue reading →

Eczema – what really helps?

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • 1 Comment

Sienna suffers quite badly at times from eczema as does her big sister Milly. Both of them started with it at quite a young age, unbelievably Milly was only around a month old when it first started on her face while Sienna was around a year old when it appeared on her arms. For both … Continue reading →

Luna – 9 months old

Posted on April 7, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Our littlest girl is growing up way too fast, she turned nine months old this week! We are hurtling towards her first birthday far too quickly for my liking. She’s such a good girl, no trouble at all, always smiling and happy and pretty undemanding overall bless her. She has the most infectious chuckle and … Continue reading →

Becoming Nanna

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Last year, not long after Mother’s Day, my eldest daughter told me she had a late Mother’s Day gift for me and showed me a positive pregnancy test – it took a moment to realise that my baby was having a baby! I was momentarily stunned, I hadn’t been expecting it but I was thrilled … Continue reading →

Back to blogging

Posted on March 25, 2018 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Somehow I have fallen out of the habit of blogging. It hasn’t been intentional, it’s not been a conscious ‘blog break’ decision (though I wish it had been to be honest, so that I wouldn’t have kept feeling guilty and thinking ‘I really should write a blog post…..’) it’s just that life has got in … Continue reading →
