HELLO

Hi, my name is Catherine & I am so happy you stopped by. The pages of my blog will mostly be filled with my journey in motherhood and our ordinary extraordinary moments. There is me, my husband Mark, our beautiful daughter and a beagle, setting down roots in our self build home by the river in the Northern Irish countryside.

Both of these girls snuggled up on the chair with Daddy for a cuddle before bed and ended up falling asleep. I pretty much had to prize them from his hands to put them into bed. He was in his element. . We have a check in to do for the bubble den and then we are putting our feet up. When it was pouring down earlier that seemed like the best plan, of course now the sun is out I feel like I should be going for a power walk instead. Help a girl out, walk or sofa?! 🤷‍♀️

Pocket full of sunshine // we have lost a couple of really important people in my hubby's side of the family over the past year and a bit. People with incredible, steadfast faith whose legacy will live on long after they left us. It's got me thinking. . Spending time in their company, hearing stories from the end, knowing how we all felt when they left this world behind. It's taught me so much. What sweet joy and freedom there is in a life lived in faith, that there is absolutely no fear of death. How wonderful it has been to celebrate that their earthly pain has ceased and to know that they have met Jesus face to face. Its just such an amazing promise. Oh death where is your sting?! I'm not sure I've truly been able to grasp this whole concept until recently, no guilt in life, no fear in death. Thank you Jesus 🙌

What a difference a year makes // This day last year we announced that baby number 2 was on the way. We had no idea who was going to fill this empty vest and absolutely no idea how much joy was going to fill our family just seven months later. I was feeling queasy, bloated and exhausted but so unbelievably excited (swipe to see my peaky face 🤢) One year later and I am just feeling so grateful. Two healthy, happy girls. . Side note; I can't get the vision of recreating this photo in 20 years time out of my head, man I hope that's still a thing 😂

Mama Down // ugh I am absolutely dosed with the cold and have the patience of a toddler waiting for a new toy to be opened. Hands up if you're feeling all sorts of mum guilt this evening 🙋🏼‍♀️ must not self soothe with chocolate, I repeat, must not self soothe with chocolate 🍫

Throwing it back to last week when it still felt like summer. I shouldn't complain really, this moody weather makes me way more productive but I'm praying for sunshine for the last week of August. We are taking time off from work to have uninterrupted family time for a few days. So heres where I need your help; where should we go, what should we do, where should we stay?! Hit me up insta friends 🌿

It's five months today since we became a four. That's five months that have gone in the blink of an eye. Five months of getting to know our joy filled Connie. Five months of Susanna learning and mastering life as a big sister. Five months of loving two girls. Life has ebbed and we have flowed and the bubble is yet to burst 💞

No prizes for guessing what I'm up to this evening. My mind is buzzing with ideas for @mummymemarket. That's one of the things I love most about hosting these events; being around so many creative people really stirs up my creative side. So I'm enjoying the last delicious cupcake from @sobakekeely with a lovely pot of tea while ferociously scribbling down notes and checklists. What are you up to this evening? 🌿

It may look more like mid autumn outside but it's very much summer in here. We have had a luxuriously slow start to our Sunday. Pottering around the house in barefeet, breathing in the scent of my beautiful summer posie from @originflowersni and having a glass of bubbly with breakfast. I am on cloud nine after yesterday's @mummymemarket and I cannot wait to share some of the gorgeous treats I picked up for the girls. I don't have th words for yesterday just yet, I'm just riding on that high for today. . We have a changeover to do for the bubble den and then we are off out for some quality family time. So just stopping by to say a very quick thank you to everyone for yesterday and I'll check back in with you all soon 😘

Searching for summer this morning with my girls // I can hardly believe it's @mummymemarket day tomorrow, this one has come round so so quickly. We are keeping our fingers crossed for sunshine but also celebrating our good sense in having the whole market under a sturdy marquee. Sure what else would you be doing on a rainy day?! Make sure to say Hi if you make it to Lisburn Market Square tomorrow; I'll be the one with the massive shopping list, we have the dreamiest sellers this summer. Can't wait to see you all there ☔
