Moments That Mattered …

Moments That Mattered 

2013 was a year filled with family, happiness, love and adventure. No one can be happy 100% of the time but when you have a wonderful family around you like I do, it’s hard not to try.

A child in a black coat with a furry hood pulls a red sledge with a small child bundled in winter gear sitting on it. They are outside in a snow-covered garden with buildings and a brick wall visible in the background. Snow is falling gently around them.

January 2013 brought us lots of fun times in the snow. We bought our very first sledge and enjoyed many hours of fun playing with it. The look on their faces was well worth the cold.
A tattoo with black cursive text reads, "There is only one happiness in life, To love and be loved," with the word "loved" featuring a red heart symbol replacing the letter "o." The tattoo appears on light skin.

March 2013 inspired my latest tattoo. I put my favourite quote on my belly “There’s only one happiness in life, To love and be loved” which sums me up perfectly! My family are my world and I love them so much and in the grand scheme of things, they are all that really matters.

A group of five people—two adults and three children—pose inside a casual restaurant. The man wears a checked shirt, the woman has dark hair and a black jacket, and the kids smile, dressed in colourful clothes. Bright windows and diners are visible in the background.

Meeting Justin Fletcher (Mr Tumble) was a huge highlight of 2013 for my family, that was the most amazing day of our year. Meeting Justin and watching his show was amazing!
Two women pose together at a wedding reception. One wears a white wedding dress and veil, the other a grey dress. They are smiling in a decorated hall with white flowers, balloons, and seated guests. A mural is visible in the background.
Being a bridesmaid for my best friend of 22 years was a real moment that mattered to me. We’d been friends since I was 9 and is the only friend from when I was little I have left. Being a part of her big day was wonderful and I will treasure our friendship forever.

Family holidays are the always the best part of our summer holidays. Time spent together having fun is the best feeling ever. Butlins is where my children’s dreams all come true.

A young child wearing an orange “Pirate Time” shirt smiles at a ladybird-shaped birthday cake with candles and small figurines on top. The cake is on a green base with pink flowers and “3” written on it. Presents and clothes are visible in the background.

Family Birthdays are always special and definitely moments that matter to me. My little man Ryan turned 3 in June 2013 – he’s such a gorgeous little boy who I love so much.

A young child wearing a red costume with a crown sits cross-legged on the floor, yawning. Other children in similar costumes sit nearby. The scene suggests a group activity or performance, and the child in focus appears tired or bored.
December 2013 brought lots of school assemblies but for my little man he got to play his very first part in a Christmas Play and what a cute little Wise Man he made to.

A smiling boy in a checked shirt is being held by a person dressed in a large, plush Father Christmas costume. The child touches Father Christmas’s fluffy white beard and looks at the camera, while the Father Christmas costume features a red suit and a big, friendly face.
Last but not least we had a very special visitor last Christmas, Santa Claus himself joined us. (It was Daddy in a suit) We had the most amazing Christmas ever and will never forget it.
