I can’t believe it’s been two whole years since he was born, and at the same time I can’t imagine ever being without him. Happy birthday Ethan, from your super doting aunt.

This wee blog is close to celebrating it’s one-year blog-aversary so I thought this would be a good time to tell you that I’m in the process of making a few changes to it. Some of them cosmetic (and – I think – very lovely) and some of them editorial. The design changes mean different [...]
