The story so far...

This is my family, and this is our little corner of the interwebs, a cosy, happy place to share our adventures and stories.
We are a happy little bunch - Steve and I got married two weeks ago, on the first anniversary of our first date. It's one of those "thunderbolts and lightening" love stories that I never used to believe in, until it happened to me!
We live together with my mum, my two kids, two dogs and cat, and are expecting a baby in June - as you can imagine, there's never a dull moment in this house!

This is me...

I'm Jodie, and I love baking, crochet and spending time with my favourite people - my family! I adore being a mum and can't wait to be looking after a baby again, it's been far too long! 

I believe in making the most of every moment, never holding grudges and treating everyone the way I'd like to be treated, pretty simple, really. I love organisiation, and constantly try to make our family life as simple and uncomplicated as possible, I've had my share of stress and chaos and now it's time to just enjoy the little things. That's what this blog is all about, little happy moments in ordinary days, and being grateful for every single one of them.

This is my husband, Stephen...

I know, right? Holy hell, he's just a little bit gorgeous! Not only does he have the BEST catalogue poses, he's utterly amazing with the kids, he actually enjoys tidying and decluttering, loves cars and camping, and when he smiles, I can't even cope with it. Seriously, I'm like a teenager at a One Direction concert. 

My husband, yum.

This is Charlie...

He's ten years old, and a total mini-me. He's a pretty quiet kid, complete maths and computer genius, and checks the awesome cowlick! He likes to keep himself to himself, but completely comes to life when we go outside. He adores camping trips, forest walks and fishing, and is a big fan of Bear Grylls. He can solve a puzzle or maths problem scarily fast, and has an extrordinary ability to eat endless packets of crisps. Love him to bits!

This is Daisy...

Don't be fooled, she's tougher than she looks! She's six years old, and a complete firecracker. She loves art and can spend hours drawing, painting and making crafty things. She's a total perfectionist and can have an absolute meltdown if she doesn't do things "just right". She and Charlie have a typical brother/sister relationship, and can swing between giggling and tickling each other, to screaming at each other in a matter of seconds. I reckon if either of them was in trouble, the other would be by their side in a flash, though. I'm looking forward to seeing how they take care of the new baby, it's quite an age gap but I think they'll both be a brilliant help.

And who's this?

Hello, Baby Widders! This is the youngest member of our crew, due to join us in June. We all absolutely can't wait to meet him/her!

So that's us, and this is where I'll keep a track of all our adventures, whether camping trips, decluttering achievements, baby days or recipes. Feel free to come along and enjoy the simple things with us!
