So, you don’t work?

April 4, 2018April 4, 2018 ~ My Copper Fox ~ Leave a comment

Isn’t it strange how one of the first things we ask when we meet someone new is, ‘so, what do you do?’ I have never really understood it, maybe because I have never really cared about what people do for work! It’s certainly not amongst the top ten things I want to know when I … Continue reading So, you don’t work?

The October Edit

October 31, 2017October 31, 2017 ~ My Copper Fox ~ 1 Comment

October, for us, was wonderfully busy, it has gone by so quickly. Our beautiful daughter turned two and to celebrate we embraced all that is great about Octobers and had a Pumpkin Patch Party at home. Only two days after her party we headed across the pond to spend 10 days on a road trip … Continue reading The October Edit

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.

Retreat // Waking up slowly in the beach house this morning, sipping hot coffee to the soundtrack of seagulls, taking the short drive to church and the scenic route to lunch, wandering down the prom, stopping off at the funfair, finding the best spot for hot chocolate. That feeling of flopping into bed completely exhausted from all the sea air. The seaside will always be my happy place. 31 years ago @foxandfins would have been lying in this Moses Basket. I can imagine his mamas view wasn't that different to mine. Those eyes are from her Daddy, lucky girl. 💕

Countryside yesterday, coast today // we have retreated to the beach house for race day and to enjoy some rest for a couple of days. Happy weekend ✌️

#ad We have had the best day at the Balmoral Show. I've never been before so I felt every bit as excited as Susanna when we set off this morning and it did not disappoint. We spent the whole day exploring everything from farm machinery to hot tubs and all that's in between. Its a total dream day out for kids... and foodies too; we got all the inspo from @tescofood live cooking demos which is just one big celebration of our wonderful local produce. There are shows all day tomorrow so don't miss out #balmoral19 🐄

These sun drenched mornings are so dreamy. We are topping up our vitamin D while we wait for the groceries to arrive, it definitely beats negotiating a busy supermarket with a hangry baby and a chatty toddler. I'm having one of those days where everything feels a little overwhelming; there's cleaning to do and my work list is longer than my arm but the sun is working its magic. Anxiety creeps in ever so quietly but I have enough experience to spot the signs early on and I have a list of ways to kick it's butt before it gets going. So hi there anxiety, I see you and I raise you one back garden picnic with my babies in the sunshine 🌞

Breakfast, lunch and dinner al fresco // That's the kind of day we have had. Susanna was straight into the paddling pool as soon as she finished her breakfast and had her cossie on again before I even had time to hang our bags up after playgroup. We have two sleepy girls after all that fresh air and a sofa date with Line of Duty once the snoring starts. I feel a bit smug that we've just started season one while almost everyone else is hunting for a new show to binge on. Who else is late to the game? 👀

I absolutely love that Marks birthday is in May, it's such a contrast to my wintery November one. Today we woke with the sunrise, walked barefoot on warm sand and spent the whole evening in the garden. It has been such a special day. Happy Birthday @foxandfins here's to many more adventures 😘

Happy Birthday to my one and only // what a standard you are setting for our girls @foxandfins, I pray they never settle for anything less than the kind of guy their Daddy is. You rock our world ❤️

We have arrived at our oceanfront suite ready to chill out and celebrate @foxandfins. Susanna decided we should "stay for three weeks", I'm not sure if it was the excitement of the ferry crossing, the pre dinner splash in the pool or the fact that she has a giant bed all to herself but she certainly seems pretty keen on this place. The weather is beautiful, the views are stunning and there is a glass of bubbly with my name on it. Operation birthday celebration is go 🌊

Seeking out all the tranquility this morning. I've got one of those dull headaches that is refusing to shift but that sunshine spilling in to every corner of the house is definitely helping. Mark cooked up some delish omlettes this morning and the chat round the breakfast table was brilliant, all fuelled by Susanna of course. The baby is sleeping and I've just lingered in the shower for much longer than usual. I can hear my big girl singing in her room while she gets dressed and hubby pottering around the kitchen with some acoustic tunes on in the background. It's the first Saturday morning in a long long time that we have all been together and it feels like bliss. These were the moments I dreamed of when I pictured family life. The simplest times are always the best ♥️
