This is something I've been thinking about for quite a while. As my two Bears start to get older, how much I am willing to share about them in this space is starting to change too. The questions I started to ask myself though is if I'm not writing about my children, what do I write about? What do I ... READ MORE »

(another) new start, back to school and even more LFT’s – 2/52 | 2022
I've missed this little corner of the internet to use as a creative outlet / echo chamber of my random thought so this year I wanted to restart the habit of keeping a kind of virtual diary. We're already in week 2 though and this is my first post, so a 50% success rate may be indicative as to how ... READ MORE »
Dear Darcie – now that you are 7
Dear Darcie I usually write this letter on the eve of your birthday. Staying up past midnight to reflect on the past year and considering the person you are becoming. This year I have done things differently. Instead, as you turn 7, I slowed down and simply watched the girl you are right now. ... READ MORE »
To Henry on your fifth birthday
Oh my darling boy, where do I even start. As you turn 5, the world seems to be getting ready to take its first steps into a life living with Covid.

Plenty of sunshine, a lake and a lot of fun – Little Loves 23/52 | 2021
This is a format I used to love contributing to each week back when I first started blogging.

While I ... READ MORE »
ADHD and Me
If you know me then you may or may not know that I have ADHD. It's not something I have ever hidden, but also, it's not something I have felt the need to speak about either. The likelihood is that if it's ever come up in conversation then I have mentioned it, but to be honest it's never really ... READ MORE »
The Happiness Project 2021 | February
The shortest month in the year, but it's felt like a long one hasn't it. The days have been long and dull, and we have been stuck indoors for most of it. We've done it though, February is finally over and March has brought with it a sense of renewal and the hope of better days to come when we can ... READ MORE »
The Happiness Project 2021 | January
It's been a busy month, but a quiet one here on the blog. I'm still here but in the midst of a global pandemic, this little space has fallen to the bottom of the priority list. Especially as it feels like I haven't had a huge amount to say recently. However, I've missed this little corner of the ... READ MORE »
The Happiness Project – looking back on 2020
This has been a challenging year to say the least. So, this year there are no resolutions but in an effort to find some positives, I am launching the Happiness Project. The concept is simple: a little effort each month to find a handful of positive things which made me happy. I'm starting by ... READ MORE »
What does the future hold for Tippytupps?
I've been thinking a lot recently about what this little corner of the internet is going to hold for me. It was created as a space for me to share our lives and those little moments which made our life extraordinary. However, with the Bear now 6 and Henry now in full time education, suddenly sharing ...

Dear Darcie – on your sixth birthday
Oh my baby girl, where do I start? What a year it has been. It feels like when the world fell apart this year, we came together. Although outside of our family bubble, Covid was literally taking over the world, I was privileged to be able to spend 6 months with you and your brother. We used that ... READ MORE »
To my children on your first day back at school
To my beautiful bears This post is so difficult to write because, in all honesty, I don't know how I feel. This year was always going to be a huge step for us all as you are both now in full time education. You into year one Darcie, and you Henry into Reception. However, the current crisis ... READ MORE »
