This Throwback Thursday makes me a bit emotional because it is one of the few pictures I have of my Dad with Annabelle. She looks so content sleeping in his arms and at just one week old, it really looks like she is smiling. Knowing her, it is quite fitting because she is such a happy girl and that’s always how I see her. My little ray of sunshine.

Belle turned four at the weekend and to be honest, it hasn’t quite sunk in yet. FOUR! It sounds so weird to say it and even stranger to see it written down.

As you may know, I have spent the last four years as Mummy. I didn’t go back to work for a number of reasons and I’m thankful that I didn’t need to. It meant that I could spend every single day with Belle and watch her grow.

I can say it has been an absolute pleasure and if you get to read this when you are older, my darling girl, THANK YOU! You are the ‘Whole Wide World’ to me (AKA, ‘the bestest girl in the whole wide world’). Love Mummy. xxxxx
