Jodie Alice Fisher A personal blog from the heart of a young Mum

Elsa’s birthday this year has been rather different. With the rule of 6 coming into place not long before, it made celebrating the occasion a little complicated but also wonderful. She got to enjoy two little celebrations; one with my Mum ahead of her birthday, and then one with my mother-in-law on her birthday day. The early birthday celebration was …

I think I say this each time I write the Siblings Post, but it’s been one crazy month. In a weird way, it feels like 2020 has gone by so quickly yet has dragged in the hardest of ways. September, of course, is the start of a new school year and I feel like we are getting into our new …

Many of you will know that as a family one of our top places to visit is Marsh Farm Animal Adventure Park. Over the years we have had the wonderful opportunity of working with them many times. On Friday, we got invited to a Social Sizzler. A little get together specifically organised for the bloggers who have supported them over …

This last bout of summer has been extremely welcome. I am not a cold kind of person and would much rather lay outside in the sunshine all afternoon. We’ve had the perfect bundle of ingredients in our cupboards for a while and Sunday afternoon seemed like the perfect opportunity to put them together and have an easy Sunday in the …

Some of you may be aware that during the school summer holidays we headed for the Isle Of Wight on a little family holiday. I have lots of photos and memories that I’d love to share when I eventually get round to sorting them all out. Check out my YouTube playlist as our holiday videos are going live during September. …

My eldest daughter has inherited my own love for books which of course makes me very thrilled. I was recently contacted by a book subscription box specifically for young girls and I jumped at the chance to help them out. Brave Girls Book Club is the world’s first book subscription box especially for young girls. BGBC puts female-led, empowering literature …

We are now a week into being back at school. After such a long time at home, with little routine or a need to be anywhere, it feels rather odd getting up and ready for a school day. It’s also been a bit of a nice welcome having the structure return and it’s meant that weekends are a time to …

One of our favourite local spots during the summer is Eynsford River Ford. I’ve actually spoken about it a few times on my blog as we always have a wonderful day. For those of you that don’t know, Eynsford is a picturesque village in Kent. Whenever we drive through I feel this sense of warmth that takes me into a …

Another month of this crazy year done and dusted. This was a bit of a hectic month if I’m honest and I’m probably the latest I’ve been writing it for a while. It’s due to go live tomorrow! Our August was a month of going on little adventures and some were even ones we had never been on before. We …

As you know, we have been venturing out much more recently. I have this horrible feeling that we may be heading towards another lockdown so I want to get my tribe out as much as we can but as safely as we can. Basically trying to live my life in the moment and enjoy every second. The next adventure that …

Trust me when I tell you, we are a fair-weather family. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll take on the cold and snow, but when it comes to rain you’ll find us snuggled on the sofa watching movies and sipping on hot chocolate. Seeing the weather forecast for our planned day out to Hobbledown was rather devastating. We decided to pull …

Over the past few months, there has been a lot of adjusting going on. This new world is a strange one that we are navigating slowly as a global community. Since Freya and Elsa returned to school, we have been venturing out more and doing so in the safest way we can. Making sure we stay in outdoor places that …

Over the past month, I have been incredibly proud of how my daughters have adapted to this new world. They have all had their struggles to overcome and seeing them fiercely rise to this challenge has been eye-opening. Children are so much more resilient than I thought. This is a graduation month and a month to be thankful for. Freya …

We have had the privilege of being able to experience the wonders of Orlando twice now. Our first trip was a short five-day adventure and our most recent trip last year saw us spend sixteen glorious nights in the sunshine state. During those two trips, we have picked up some tips and have so many ideas for planning our next …

Most people who know me in real life will know that I do not like walking. There isn’t anything that is appealing to me about going on a walk. However, one thing I have learnt during the global pandemic is to take each day as it comes and appreciate the little things. Including the opportunity to breathe in the fresh …
