A Heart Full Of Love – The Siblings Project – July 2016

Posted on July 25, 2016

A mum sits on a hospital bed with her three year old daughter and introduces her to her newborn baby brother - with the title "A heart full of love - The Siblings Project - July 2016" - Mrs H's favourite things

I always knew that Little Miss H would be an amazing sister. That she would be kind and gentle to her sibling. She would be concerned for their welfare and look out for them. She would also boss her baby brother or sister about. Demanding that they play with her. Telling them which character they were playing in her imaginary games. Probably a Disney Princess or a My Little Pony. She would read them stories, show them how to paint and teach…

Back in May, my best friend took me to afternoon tea at the Savoy. We live at opposite ends of the country and don't get to see each other that often. She knew that she wouldn't be able to throw me a baby shower and so this was her treat to me. She has been hugely supportive through all the miscarriages and is a fantastic spare mummy to Little Miss H. I know how happy she is that this pregnancy has gone…

Finding A Great Winter Coat With Trespass

Posted on March 17, 2016

A woman stands in front of the grounds of a stately home, she has a warm winter coat by Trespass on, with the hood up and accessorised with a navy scarf _ includes the title "Finding the perfect coat with Trespass" _ Mrs H's favourite things

I love taking Little Miss H out to play in the sunshine. And as a family, one of our favourite ways to spend a Saturday is to go to a park, wood or stately home. Even when the weather is cold or wet, we bundle ourselves into out warm coats and head out doors. Time in the fresh air always blows away the cobwebs and puts us all in a better mood. But to make sure that we can get out of the…

A photograph of a muddy puddle filled with flower petals and with a mummy and her daughter standing in it - the mum is wearing navy blue and white polka dot wellies and the little girl wears pink shiny wellies - 37 Lessons for 37 Years - Mrs H's favourite things

Today is my birthday. I am now 37 years old. I am not entirely sure how it happened but I appear to have entered my late thirties. Three years of the big 4-0. And it actually feels good. I spent much of my twenties deeply unhappy. My thirties have been a turning point for me. I am now happier in my own skin. And although I still have days when I struggle, I know what I need to do to make myself…

50 Things That Make Me Happy

Posted on April 1, 2015

Happiness is important. Sometimes life can run away with you. Seconds run into minutes. Minutes run into hours. Hours run into days. Time has gone by and you haven’t been able to sit back and appreciate the wonder of the world around you. My history of long-term depression means it is important that I take time to acknowledge the little things in life that make me happy. The moments that put a smile on my face. That is why this…

73 Questions

Posted on March 11, 2015

I think I must have been living under a rock for the past year. Until Sunday, I had never heard of Vogue's "73 Questions" interview series. Thanks to my good friend Heledd who writes the gorgeous blog Running in Lavender for enlightening me. Inspired by these videos and Heledd's fabulous post, I decided to tackle the 73 questions myself. Drum roll please.…

My Captured Moment – Beautiful

Posted on January 23, 2015

I haven't always had the best self-image. In fact, it is fair to say that as a teenager and in my early 20's I hated the way I looked and I felt ugly. It is only since getting married and entering my 30's that I have begun to feel happy in my own skin. I, dare I say it, feel pretty!…
