Dates with my Daughters
I'll be here in the next week to tell you all about where I'm at for January... In the meanwhile pop over to my photography blog where you can read all about my personal photography project for 2015. It's a good'un.

Where did you go?
I know. It's been a long time. Months in fact. And the truth is, today is the first day in all those months that I've had the time, energy and inclination to blog.
I have missed blogging. I've missed by blogging buddies. I've missed pregnancy announcements, births, HUGE news and I feel awful, but something had to give.
I went back to work after maternity leave properly in September and the long and the short of it is that life hit me like a tonne of bricks. Being a working mum of two is literally 100 times more difficult and busy and tiring than a working mum of one. I'm sure of it. It's the first day of the Christmas holidays and it's the first day I've not had anything I've had to do for months. It's felt odd. I can't WAIT to clean my house, which is struggling in the "lack of time" category.
But here's the other reason I've run out of time...
I started my own business.
That's it. I fell into it a bit and feel I am completely winging my way through but I am loving it. But it means the time I found to be at the computer for blogging has been replaced with advertising and promotion and photo editing. For clients. Not for my blog. That's because Hannah Hall Photography is official.
Amazing and terrifying all at the same time, and 2015 will be the year that changes my life. I'm working exclusively by word of mouth and via my Facebook and Twitter pages at the moment, but I'm sure that's set to expand next year. I'd love it if you popped over and said hi!
Work aside, life is good. Lowen is nearly 10 months, and getting ready to let go of that sofa and toddle off. She's a monster when it comes to food and doesn't stop eating. She understands far more than I ever gave a 10 month old credit for and she LOVES getting your attention by shouting "hiya!!!!" at the top of her voice.
Effy is 2 years and 9 months and just incredible. She's dramatic; a performer, a singer, a linguist, a story teller. Her memory and her imagination astound me. She's hot headed, fiery and passionate... She reminds me of her mother...
My new year's resolution is to blog again. Once a month at the very least. I promise.
Merry Christmas, bloggers. xx

Family Photo Friday
I've spent all week taking photos for other people and somehow managed to not get one single picture of ANYTHING for myself... So, I'll be back next week for a double post week.
Have a fabulous bank holiday weekend!

N is for...
Nosey.
This chappy was fascinated by my camera and what I was up to while we dodged hurricane Bertha on a maternity shoot on Monday!
What a stunning creature!

Family Photo Friday #32 - 15/08/14
It's Friday, I thought it was Thursday and I'm posting this before I run off to the park.
The summer holidays are fabulous and we're loving being outside and enjoying the (mostly) good weather.
I took this the other day while we were out at Wicksteed Park. I just can't believe how grown up she is suddenly. She loves a good sand pit, although I suspect the other children don't appreciate her sandy play so much!
Thanks for continuing to link up and join in even while your host is being completely pants!
Share a family photo from your week just gone. It needn't be a Family Photo Friday specific post, I don't mind you recycling! You can join in weekly, monthly or just whenever you can. It can be a formal portrait or a snap from your phone, something you posed for or something you caught when no one was looking. It could be from a day out, a gathering, an activity at home, it doesn't matter so long as it gives a snap shot of what your family looked like during the week that's just been.
Give us a brief explanation of your photo.
I'd love it if you could grab the badge to add at the bottom of your post and Tweet about it using #familyphotofriday - my Twitter handle is @oneformybaby12.
Pop over to visit at least two other bloggers and see what they've been doing - maybe you can watch their family grow and change too!
Leave a comment if you can.

Family Photo Friday #31 - 08/08/14
We spent last weekend staying with one of my besties in the New Forest, which meant plenty of fresh air and enjoying the sunshine... And geocaching. Lots of geocaching... I'll make that my word of the week! Effy has really started to show an interest in searching for "treasure", which I love. Here she is with a cache we found by compass alone when GPS failed us with D, her godmother and Lowen's godfather after a very long walk and some excellent puzzle solving on her godmother's behalf! We've more than doubled our total of finds in the last 10 days, there's a bit of an addiction forming here!
Usual stuff...
I promise to visit as many of you as I can and I'll pick my favourite photo to share next Friday.
Happy photo-taking and memory-making!
