July: a month of firsts

…a month of firsts, for us all…

Snapshot

Hand in hand. My biggest and my littlest. It never gets old. Actually finding myself missing the school holidays today. My babies all together is often hard, but also often special. #bigsister #littlebrother #siblings #twinbrother #smallboy #tallgirl #easterholidays #bankholiday #sunshinetoddlers

The problem with dining al fresco when chickens are your best friends. #beggarathefeast #chickens #homegrown #freerangechickens #countrygarden #chickenlife #chickensaspets #summerevenings

The happiest of Easter walks this morning, surrounded on all sides by golden fields, friends, neighbours, dogs, rolling hills and the bluest of skies. Today is very very good. #rapeseed #goldenhills #fieldsofgold #daughter #twinboys #easterwalk #sunshineinapril #twins #motherofthree #easterweekend #sunshinedays #countrylife #countrywalks

Everything is better when the sun shines. Such a happy day with friends and funny twins. And so, so, so much chocolate. #twins #twinboys #twinstagram #motherofdragons #motheroftwins #sunnyeaster #countrygarden

Another day, another egg hunt planned. It’s a funny thing how life goes with children. For the last month or so, the twins have been really fantastic, good fun, easygoing, manageable. It felt like life had levelled out again. Elsa, by contrast, was incredibly hard work and I found myself surprised that a five year old could be more challenging than twin boys. But, as always with children, it’s a phase, this too shall pass, and in the blink of an eye things are different. The last week or so has seen Elsa mellow, happy, helpful and sweet. The twins have been angry, whining, fighting, frustrated little balls of fury. And I’ve found myself grateful for Elsa and her gentle kindness and sweet manner. My grandmother, who had five children, said that you never had favourites, but that usually from one week to the next one of your children was more ‘top of the pops’ than the others. I love this way of thinking about it. Happy Easter Elsa, my current chart topper. #threechildren #motherofthree #motheroftwins #twinboys #easterbreak #motherhood #twins #childhoodunplugged #egghunt #springsunshine #motherhoodthroughinstagram

Grandparents for the win! The twins have honestly been nothing short of vile today - I’m fed up of the bank holiday already. Aside from the four hours they spent at their grandparents where they were impeccably behaved and charmed everyone. Clearly they know how to make friends and influence people. #bloodytwins #twins #motherofthree #tiredandfedup #easter #motheroftwins #grandparents #sunnydays #lifewithtwins
