When a weekend takes you by surprise and truly warms your heart. That is certainly how I was left feeling as my head hit the pillow. They say a Sunday well spent brings a week of content and I think they were right, that was this weekend for this here mummy. After feeling unwell for most of the week, a weekend running at a slower pace and cocooned in our little family bubble was just what the doctor ordered.
Often our weekends are planned with military precision, what with Lil G’s classes, birthday parties (does he really need to go to each one?), running errands, Christmas preparations, cooking and squeezing in some family time it feels so nice when things slow down a little. And so, when they do slow down a little I find myself really appreciating our time together.
Mr H is spending most of his free time studying for a big exam at the minute which means I get to spend some much needed one on one time with out gorgeous boy. We miss him when he locks himself away for hours and hours, only seeing him when he requires food and drink but in less than 13 days we have a magical trip to look forward to which is keeping us all going. And with Mr H’s time with us limited we really do make the most of the small window of opportunity to head out together as a family.
I really do miss having time together with my boy. I say this on a regular basis, but I do miss my maternity leave days, which sounds a little crazy given that Lil G is five and a half. I know this but a girl can dream can’t she? Of working part-time, having lazy PJ days and walks in the park with our furry baby. Days where there are no routine, no alarms, no schooling, no classes to run to and no packed lunches. The little things I feel guilty about doing on a weekend because that is the time when we are together as a family and go off on an adventure.
And here are a few snaps from our little family weekend, full of festive fun as we met the big fella and some wonderful memories made along the way…
And lastly, it is back to work, sleep, repeat for our little family. A week of to do lists, work, training and running to Lil G’s swimming and football classes. Until next weekend may your week be short, smooth sailing and filled with little pockets of festive fun.

I’m Kerri-Ann or KA as my friends call me, always found with a cup of coffee in one hand and my camera in the other. I have a huge passion for photography, fitness, fashion and family travel. I started this blog in 2014. It began as my creative outlet after becoming a mummy to our little boy George Archie. I started out blogging about parenting and over the years it has evolved into a blog that covers lifestyle, fashion, family and travel. Today TheKAEdit is ultimately a life and style blog. Thank you for reading x x
I adore the picture of them holding hands, it’s timeless!

Life is manic isn’t it, I often wonder how I used to fit it all in, you are superwoman Kerry Anne. Family time is so precious, and as it flies by I realise that more and more every day. Beautiful photos xx
Oh it really is, aww thank you. I don’t always feel like superwoman but thank you. x
It sounds like just the weekend you needed. I’m hoping for life at a slower pace in the New Year – quality time together will never be overrated! x
Ooh Trentham. Is that where you saw Father Christmas? They’re some gorgeous photos of G with Santa. #livingarrows

Ah Kerri-Anne I love that saying about Sundays and it’s so true. This post is just blissful, your weekend sounds amazing. Any weekend that includes burgers and Santa is always going to be a winner!! Thank you so much for supporting My Captured Moment xx
I really do think it’s a keeper, you just feel so much brighter on a Monday if the weekend has been rested x
