Today we walked to get groceries after my online shop was cancelled due to the snow the other day 🙈. It was so nice seeing everyone out and about walking around, sledding, shopping, and just enjoying the outdoors. And I love how the snow muffles everything and makes it all feel more cozy. ❄ (at Emersons Green)

It's a big wide world of white out there! ❄ (at Mangotsfield)

When you're looking for a house, you've got your usual tick boxes: ✔ price ✔ location ✔ number of bedrooms ✔ schools ✔ condition ✔ etc etc. But what you can't plan for is the delightfully unexpected blossoming of an otherwise normal looking tree in the back garden. 😍 And in my favourite colour too! The only thing I'm not sure of us exactly what kind of tree it is. Anyone have any gardening knowledge? (at Mangotsfield)

Beautiful day for a lovely walk with @elvanui 😍 (at Snuff Mills)

Another shot from the weekend, but we had such a lovely time hanging out as a family (including with @abigail_joy7 and Pete!) that I can't resist. This week so far we're weathering the rain 🌧 and a coldy (but fairly cheerful!) babe. It's just so sad to hear a tiny sniffly nose 😔. (at Milk Teeth)

Coffee and baby feet. Doesn't get much better than this. 👌☕ (at Milk Teeth)

Ok so a problem with being home more is that you are always staring your unfinished home improvement projects straight in the eye. 🤔 This little corner of our dining room is one spot where I feel we're making progress...Now just to sort the other three walls! 😉 (at Bristol, United Kingdom)

Happy Monday, all! We got off to a slightly bumpy start when Olivia decided to just take a 25 minute morning nap before we headed out 🙄. But a bit of sunshine and a walk helped and now here's to a quieter afternoon getting a bit of life admin sorted! How are you planning to spend your Monday afternoon? (at Page Park)

Happy late Monday everyone. I've been struggling to find good photos to take this past few days, so here's one from our to trip back to Richmond over Christmas. Funny how being away from someplace for so long helps you see it with more interested eyes. 🌆🏢 (at Richmond, Virginia)

One of my new favourite things to do mid-morning is reheat a cup of all the coffee leftover between my mug, Tim's mug, and the coffee pot. ☕ Simple pleasures, I guess!

The bright side to not getting out of the house in the morning is getting out of the house during the magic hour. ✨ (at Page Park)

I see you, Mangotsfield. 🚗 #ReliantRobin (at Lamb Inn Bristol)

Fresh air and a lovely walk in Oldbury Court yesterday with Olivia as she slept peacefully. Next stop: Buggyfit, where she decided to mainly participate by screaming for an hour 🤔. Then once we got back to the car, all smiles again. 😂 (at Oldbury Court Estate)

Rainy ☔ day for a walk with a tiny polar bear. I like this mysterious driveway emerging from the greenery. 🌿

Looking back at 2017 and praying about 2018 with @timhacker at our favourite @milkteethportlandsq (We'll be back for the new menu soon!!) (at Milk Teeth)

Annual trip for fancy coffees and photos with Meredith and @timhacker. Sad to not have Olivia with us but she was getting quality Grandma time 🙌. And let's be real, even the poshest coffee shops don't carry her favourite milk. #milksnob (at Richmond, Virginia)
