Happy half birthday Luna! Ok, so I know it’s a massive cliche but I feel like I blinked and 6 months whizzed by! How is it that our littlest princess Luna Grey is half way to one already? It feels as if changes are coming thick and fast at the moment and although I have … Continue reading
Goodbye 2017, hello 2018
I love new year, it’s always a bit emotional reflecting on the last twelve months and all the things that happened that we could only imagine this time last year. As I’m writing this on New Year’s Eve (last minute as always!) I’m feeling very happy and content, we are having a quiet night at … Continue reading
Goodbye nicknames
When I started writing this blog a year ago I decided that I would use the youngest girls’ nicknames, Tinker and Totsy, which were obviously where my blog got its name.

A week of smiles (#33)
Life feels so hectic most of the time, I feel like I’m constantly rushing around but not achieving much and I have to stop and remind myself that keeping three little girls alive and well plus supporting their older siblings is the most important thing and a huge achievement in itself. Somehow it has been … Continue reading
Luna – 3 months old
Luna turned 3 months old this week so I thought it was time for a little update on how we are getting on. Although it is hard to believe that the months are going by so quickly, it is also impossible to imagine life without her. She has fitted into our lives seamlessly, although it’s … Continue reading
A week of smiles (#32)
This week has gone so fast, I honestly don’t know where the time has gone! Lots to make me smile as usual though of course.

Once again I am late with posting this so it’s more a fortnight of smiles! Lately it has been all about routine as the summer holidays now seem like a distant memory and we are fully back into the swing of school runs, homework and counting down to the weekend.
