me and mine {july}


Daddy is loving
* a day in Vienna.
* going to the beautiful boy's graduation.
* the sausage and beer festival at Jimmy's Farm.
* having a therapeutic storage clear out.
* a day at the seaside with Nainy and Taid.

Mummy is loving
* sunshiny days at the seaside.
* learning how to crochet and making Flump a blanket.
* how cute, funny, talkative and musical the little lady is.
* getting to watch our little man graduate from preschool.
* celebrating six years of marriage today.

The beautiful boy is loving
* taster days at his new big school.
* lots of fun adventures now that the summer is here.
* having a special graduation from preschool and a family meal after.
* counting down to the new baby coming.
* dunking practically any food in ketchup.

The beautiful girl is loving
* nursery rhymes; listening to them, singing them, watching them on television.
* reading 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'.
* the new sister toy for her Lulu bunny, named Lily.
* collecting fists full of pebbles.
* bouncing on the bed.


And so another month passes... this year just seems to be flying by. And we are busy trying to fill it up with fun days and lots of lovely memories. Certain places are always in the calendar for a visit at this time of year, and I love how they are becoming little traditions for us as a family... a beach hut photoshoot, a trip to the sausage and beer festival; things which hopefully the children will remember as they grow just from the fact we dragged them along there year in and year out. Thats part of why Me and Mine is so important to me, because I want family photos to be 'our thing', something that we 'just do', something the children will tease me about in years to come, but which will make them smile nonetheless. Because I think having a tradition that involves making and recording memories together as a family can never be a bad thing.


This month I am sending you to visit Jenny over at Let's Talk Mommy. She's currently on holiday with her children back in her native America, where they are all missing the man of the family. But I just know she'll have some beautiful family moments and memories to share with you all, so do pop by.

dear beautiful

  1. Yay! The pretty beach huts make their annual appearance! I love it and I know what you mean about having annual traditions that you do just because you always do, I think it's part of the rhythm of the year and that if helps us know where we are if that makes sense - and the sausage and beer festival sounds awesome! And finally Happy Anniversary- I hope you have a lovely day!

  16. Gorgeous setting and photos as always you all look in your element and at home on the beach. I love it. There is nothing better than sand between your toes. I love the last few months where your bump will be showing and being in your photos with you all. You are a beautiful family of five already. I am so excited for you. Can't wait to see Flumps little toes in the sand soon too. Thanks for hosting my lovely.

  17. Oh wow! I love the beach huts, adorable photos of you all this month. I love Me & Mine too, for making sure I get at least one photo of all of us every month. I'm sure without it there would be months go by when we didn't all make it in front of the camera. Thank you!

  18. Sounds like a fabulous month, Lucy! And stunning photographs... those beach huts are just so lovely! We celebrated our ending anniversary this week too... Obviously the best time to get married! I have wanted to learn to crochet for months... It's on my resolutions list this year... Better get started! A baby is the perfect opportunity for learning though! Loving seeing your little bump grow!
