Sometimes I moan. Sometimes I fret about the little things. George hasn’t eaten his lunch and Harri has posted all of her hair clips down the toilet. Sometimes I get caught up in the rush between, milk, breakfast, nursery, work, home, tea, washing, bathing, dinner, wine. Sometimes I lose track of where the days go..
And then, I notice the little things.
A row of wellies epitomises family life to me. I can remember so vividly pulling on my wellies after a second failed IVF attempt. Getting ready to go for a stomp outside to yet again try to blow away the gnawing sadness. I remember sitting on the bottom step and the realisation that I’d never see a row of wellies in our house. That moment, that silly little, insignificant family moment I would never have left my heart with a renewed ache.
Then today, there was a row of wellies (and some grateful tears of happiness).

I think the little things are so important too. Love the photos.
Thanks Kizzy xx
Oh this post made me get tears in my eyes, but in an appreciative way. We are only human and sometimes day to day stresses can get too much, but sometimes we need to take a step back and realise how incredibly lucky we are. Thank you for writing such a lovely post. x
Thanks Katie, thanks for inspiring me to do so x
Such a simple and sweet story 🙂
Thanks lovely Jo x
I love looking at our little row of wellies here too – until I put them on and find lots of hidden lego that the children have been posting in there!
Haha, I found a grape in my other boots today Annie, mmmm, squishy..
Beautiful post! I love seeing my sons tiny wellies next to our big ones! xx

This really made me smile I always love the row of wellies outside on the step covered in mud snow and leaves it captures the family perfectly. So glad you have your row xx
Hello my old pal! Where have you been hiding?! Thanks so much for the kind words xxx
No where exciting! Loving the blog those babies have grown. Xx
Thanks honey. Keep in touch. How are your little lambs?
Great story and a row of wellies seems to mean a lot to many these days.
E-mail me when the kids need new wellies and we can fit them out with something matching mum and dads 😉
