siblings {july}


I've always seen giving my children a sibling as a total gift.
I love that they will always have someone to go through life with,
that constant and loyal companion;
someone they can sit happily in silence with, 
and who they can laugh raucously with.


It's such a beautiful thing to see them;
embracing the world together,
exploring things side by side,
sharing new experiences,
and enjoying their adventures more,
simply because they've enjoyed them as a pair.


I feel so lucky that they are such good friends,
and that they seem to love each other so wholeheartedly.
I know they won't always feel that way about one another,
but I hope they'll always remember that they were each other's first friend,
and that together they were always happier.


I couldn't choose between my photos for this month,
so it's a bit more of a bumper edition of Siblings than normal.
And these photos are so special to me,
because they were taken in Scarborough,
where we not only spent a lovely long weekend enjoying a family holiday,
but also happens to be the place where Rich and I met and fell in love.
Scarborough was where our family started,
and it was so incredible to take our children back there.

It's not too late to join us in this little project
and it's so heartwarming seeing all the lovely sibling moments each month,
so please do share if you have a lovely photo for this month.

I'm going to tell you to visit one of my cohosts now,
and this month it's Keri-Anne at Gingerlillytea.
Her blog is beautiful and her photos are always stunning,
so classic, timeless and completely dreamy,
I promise you won't be disappointed 
because she is sure to have beautiful photos of her girls to share.


dear beautiful

  23. I love this project and all your photos just show you how much they love each other and are a perfect team together. I couldn't agree with you more that I look at siblings as a gift to both of mine. Giving them that forever family member and hopefully mine and yours will stay close as they are now forever and grow and share their experience throughout life closely. Love your family adventures too. I heard Scarborough is really nice, I will have to come visit with the family. lol Thanks for hosting my lovely. Beautiful!
