Bringing Kids Drawings To Life

Today we decided to head out to blow the cobwebs away after being mostly in over the Christmas period. The children wanted to go to the beach so with rain clouds looming we pulled on our waterproofs and headed for the coast. The children had spent the morning drawing pictures so we thought it would be a lovely idea to… View Post

Magical Pearl Hunt

It’s so easy to introduce a little bit of magic and make-believe into childhood. It can turn an ordinary walk into an extraordinary adventure in a child’s eyes. We went on a magical adventure to find dropped pearls to make a necklace…

Litter Fairies – Raising Awareness

17 Oct

A while ago I witnessed some people mindlessly throwing litter from their car and I was appalled. 😢 And it played on my mind, so I wanted to try and reiterate with the children that dropping litter is not right.

Instagram post 2196000192926709770_20180382 I wanted to say thank you 💕 
The response to our post this morning has been unexpectedly overwhelming, particularly on our Facebook page post in which I explained how grief feels, it seems to have resonated with an awful lot of people...please pop over and take a read.
Mostly though it’s very humbling that today Hollys voice reached so many people and prompted so much love, compassion and care. That means an awful lot. I held it together most of the day, mr FD is working away so we won’t be able to comfort each other, it’s the first time we’ve ever been apart on Hollys day, I bought an angel which I took to Holly House & laid on a grave, when I got home the 14 year old met me walking in the rain with some flowers...and I crumbled. (You can see how my day has been in our stories) .....but cake is now being decorated, we’ll blow out Hollys candles and Christmas will  begin.....💚🎄
Instagram post 2195568593500255553_20180382 13 years ago today you were born, 13 years ago today we said goodbye. I remember it like it was yesterday & always will, it will always be the most vividly remembered day of our lives, it seemed so unfair that xmas lights shone everywhere but the twinkle in your eyes went unseen. You left the world as you came into our lives but you did not leave it untouched, you left with us a better appreciation of life, a clearer view of the world & a better ability to see what's important.  We held you, we kissed you, we made sure we treasured every second that we were given to say goodbye, I still feel you, the memory of your coldness on my lips. The void is still there but today we smile for you, laugh for you, feel the sun for you, exude love for you. Everyday we remember you. Everyday we miss you, everyday you fleet through our thoughts & everyday you're nestled in our hearts. Today is your day. 
Happy 13th birthday Holly, we miss you baby, we miss who you would of been. 💚

Mum & Dad.
