Oh May. It’s always a favourite month of mine with all the joy of spring, summer just round the corner and a month we often spend mostly outdoors. Although this May has been wetter than we’d used to, it has still been a lovely month for our little family.
Me & Mine
Me & Mine is a monthly portrait project where we share a family photo once a month along with a little about where the month has taken us. At the end of the year I share a roundup of all the photos from the year and it’s lovely seeing our family grow as time goes by. All the posts so far in the series are here.
Me & Mine {April 2023}
Oh what a month it has been! We started the month with the Easter holidays, and our lovely friends coming to stay with us for a week before we went off to Barcelona for a few days.
Me & Mine {March 2023}
I’m actually writing this post ten days late but I’ll backdate it for consistency. March ran away with me completely, one minute it was March and the next we’re well into April. I have no idea how that happened!
Me & Mine {February 2023}
Ah February. The greyest, dreariest month of the year. But, this February has been lovely. We’ve had a lot of time together as a family and it’s been a really nice month – despite the weather.
Me & Mine {January 2023}
January was both the longest month ever and also one that seemed to go quite quickly now I’m looking back at it.
I think we all really appreciated getting back into a good routine after the Christmas break. Dave is now well into his new shift work, and it’s a learning curve for all of us.
Me & Mine {December 2022}
Well, December was such a lovely month that went by in a blur. We started it as we always do – by putting the tree up, cracking out the Christmas clothes and going on a festive day out – this time to Winkworth Arboretum for their Snowman Trail.
Me & Mine {November 2022}
Wow, what a quick month November has been. It’s zoomed by! We started it having a weekend in London for Dave’s birthday, seeing the Christmas lights and having a Thames Rockets boat ride and we’ve finished it in full on Christmas mode!
Me & Mine {October 2022}
I’m only a week late with this post – but better late than never! We just didn’t take any family photos in October and wanted to wait until we had one.
October was a pretty uneventful month that passed super quickly. It was my birthday near the start and we had a really lovely weekend in Stoke on Trent to mark the occasion.
Me & Mine {August 2022}
As we spent most of the month on holiday, this may have been one of our best months as a family yet. We have never had three weeks of solid time together. Even during the pandemic, Dave was still going to work. So this summer was lovely, and massively different for us as a family.
Me & Mine {July 2022}
I completely forgot it was the end of the month until about lunch time today so I quickly took a family photo in the garden – and even managed to get the cat in on the action!
This month has been a lovely one for us as a family. School and work have been so busy that we’ve done very little at weekends, focusing on trying to get a good balance and just enjoying time together at home.
