one day and one really big adventure {52 adventures}


When we set ourselves the challenge of having 52 adventures this year, we didn't imagine for a second that we'd be planning this one. We saw ahead of us, a year of exciting days out near and far, an excuse to use our passports for some foreign adventures, and a lot of memory making along the way. Never in our wildest of dreams did we imagine an adventure quite this big and quite this exciting. But this year is clearly shaping up to give us some even more amazing adventures and memories than we could have dreamt up.

It felt like how we broke the news to our children was going to be really important. This really big adventure will be for all of us, and we want them to feel like a part of every step. So this was how we started the adventure for them; with a normal morning, followed by an exciting hospital trip with a new introduction, and an afternoon together celebrating our family.

This year we are embarking on a challenge to have an adventure every single week... 52 adventures!!! They may be big excited adventures or simple ones close to home, but we want to have a 2015 full of adventures and full of amazing memories.

    Beautiful video. We took our daughter with us for our ultrasound, although I don't think she grasped our shock as two heartbeats were found :) 4+ years on and she's been the best and proudest big sister. Looking forward to the adventure. xx

      It was so lovely to be able to take them and share that with them. They weren't allowed in to begin with, while all the checks were done, but it was so special to be able to tell them the news while they could see their new brother or sister wriggling on the screen. x

    I haven't had a chance to say congratulations yet but did see your post, so a big CONGRATULATIONS. I love this video, yes you have me in tears, what a great thing to do with the children. We could never do this with Ethan as we didn't want to scare him with hospital appointments and I'm sad about that, but he knew x
