n hunt: I find it utterly crazy that I can stand outside my house and look up, and see something that’s 365 million miles away with the naked eye.
n hunt: I’m not sure what photo to put for this, but this will do. James and I have broken up; he’ll be moving out shortly. He’s staying local, close enough to see Emmy as often as they want to. It’s all ridiculously amicable, and I guess a fairly natural consequ
n hunt: Saturday afternoon iPadding whilst she waits for me to finish cleaning the living room so we can play some games together ♥️
n hunt: May you find as much joy in something as Emmy does in a packet of crumpets. (Her crumpet of choice - lightly toasted with butter and @marmite)
n hunt: Snapshot - post ballerina class (“not ballet class Mummy, BALLERINA class”), munching her kitkat (because that’s what all the bigger kids have as a post dance snack), having changed her dainty ballet slippers for sparkly boots. Emmy, aged 5 years and 2 mo
n hunt: I love that our parish council have given all the school kids in our area these reflective badges for their coats ♥️
n hunt: I appear to have become a dancemom. (An hour with a book and coffee 🙌)
n hunt: And there’s no real reason for this photo other than I like it? ‍♀️
n hunt: Went out for a test scoot on Starwind. (Yes, apparently we name our scooters now ‍♀️)
n hunt: Three years of celebrating Jonathan’s birthday with cake (and coffee) Happy Birthday lovely boy!
n hunt: Suited Em up and went out for a muddy dog walk. I wonder how the girl we saw in pale pink Mary Janes with white lacy socks got on…
n hunt: We’ve spent a pleasant morning watching films, building some Christmas Lego, and we’re about to have ham, egg and chips for lunch, so we’re winning at festivities.
n hunt: Your boss might be pretty awesome, but I’m pretty sure I have *the* most awesome boss ever. My Christmas present seemed a bit big and heavy to take home, so I opened it this morning 😳😍😱
n hunt: Emmy has decided she wants to be a “nail dresser” and gave me a manicure. (Yes I’m in my pyjamas. I appear to have caught the great Instagram Cold of 2018, and went to bed this afternoon.)
n hunt: On a whim, I booked for Em and I to go and see this on Sunday. I plan to keep it a surprise as long as I can 😍
n hunt: I knew Emmy had met Santa at school last week, but getting this in her book bag this afternoon was a lovely surprise ♥️
n hunt: Spent a whole hour actively avoiding each other, than decided to play nicely together 5 minutes before we had to leave.
n hunt: We’re back in the room where it happens. #hamilton
n hunt: I had plans to bake a load of yummy treats for the staff room at Em’s school to say thank you and a happy Christmas, but life happened. Work is (brilliantly!) busy, this week has involved helping out at Rainbows and the school disco, and I just didn’t hav
n hunt: My tiny Mary, in her specially made costume (the original one drowned her 😂) ♥️
n hunt: I don’t think she’s ever going to take these boots off.
n hunt: I’m sensing a theme here 😂 #topnine
n hunt: Trying to convince @jameshunt to give her a third “little taste” of his Magnum. He didn’t even crack when she used such excellent logic as “well, three is quite a small number really, isn’t it?”
n hunt: Blowing away the cobwebs.
n hunt: Emmy loves school, and I’m enjoying work…but I am missing our random meanderings round town together. We used to be able to stretch a couple of errands in to a couple of hours, stopping for a coffee and looking in all the fun shops. This afternoon I picke
n hunt: “Mummy, my clothes today are making me feel happy!”
n hunt: Someone was excited for her first proper Rainbows meeting tonight 😆
n hunt: This is Emmy. Emmy is just five and on the 0.4th centile for height. Emmy is wearing a hat for 9 year olds. I might keep this photo in case anyone asks why I needed a ventouse delivery with her.
n hunt: Emmy made a birthday card today. I asked if she wanted to add anything to the front and she replied that “actually, I like the white space.”
n hunt: Day Five in the Pox House. Teaching Emmy to knit.
