My Little Wildlings | Edinburgh Lifestyle Blogger & Photographer

I can’t believe January has come and gone so quickly. It’s been a pretty lovely start to 2015. I celebrated my 31st birthday. The babies learnt to roll over. I got to see Wicked & the little ones finally started sleeping through the night. *yay*
This year, in order to become a better blogger, and by better I mean actually blog, I decided to take part in a few photo challenges.

The first is the Me & Mine project.
A little project hosted by:

I have so many photographs of my family, so so many. But it’s not very often I get infront of the camera. I want to be able to show the little ones all these beautiful memories when they grow up. So taking part in this project I’m hoping to have a lot more of us all together.

Me & Mine | January 2015

2014 was a tough year so I plan to make 2015 as fantastic as I can. This year we have a trip to Slovenia to celebrate the wedding of uncle Graeme and his lovely fiancee Natalia. They are by far one of the sweetest couples you will ever meet. We hopefully have a family get away for New Year. I’m working with a lovely new brand, that I can’t wait to show you!

Here’s what we got up to in January!

1/365 Today I turned 31 & with every birthday comes a new year. 365 new days to be wonderful. Go... Go and be amazing! — Today I turned 31 & with every birthday comes a new year. 365 new days to be wonderful. Go… Go and be amazing!

2:365 — We have days when we all love to stay in our jammies, eat bowls of fruit and watch films on tv. I pulled a muscle in my neck earlier and can’t lift any of the babies. Thankfully daddy is home.

365 — Harry. His smile lights up his whole face and he loves nothing more than a cosy hug.

4:365 — There are worse ways to wake up in the morning. I’m so thankful for a full night sleep and that I get to wake to these smiles each day. She loves on them every second she gets.

5:365 — She’s taking her new love for yoga very seriously. I love that we are starting a little fitness together and that she’s so excited every day to do a new pose.

6/365 My post is a little late today. The babies are off, I think teething has kicked in. They are unsettled and wake from naps crying. It took me 2 hours to settle them this afternoon and all they wanted to do was snuggle. They have an incredible bond, it's beautiful to watch. — My post is a little late today.

Have you ever seen a prouder big sister? — Everyone is going to grandma’s tomorrow. Daddy is working and I’ve got 11 hours. Alone. ALONE! I’ll be able to wee without an audience.

10/365 I always clear my Christmas decorations a few days before new year, not quite ready to let go of my @anthropologie Christmas mug yet. I was in need of a very large cup of tea! It's super rare to find a 'Z' on anything! — I always clear my Christmas decorations a few days before new year, not quite ready to let go of my @anthropologie Christmas mug yet.

Picking up the littles from Grandmas. It was so strange without them. It was quiet and date I say it.. A little boring. But was a much welcomed break.

Today. Today was busy. Today was crazy. Today was tearful. Today was hard. Today was today. Tomorrow, well that’s a brand new day.

13/365 Keeping the house calm. Following routine. Sharing quiet time with this one. I've missed spending 1:1 time with her — Keeping the house calm. Following routine. Sharing quiet time with this one. I’ve missed spending 1:1 time with her.

15/365 A poorly kid thrown into the mix, it kinda throws your whole day up in the air and any routine right out the window. But you've just got to go with it. Introduced her to #Annie today. She LOVED it! — A poorly kid thrown into the mix, it kinda throws your whole day up in the air and any routine right out the window. But you’ve just got to go with it. Introduced her to #Annie today.

Harry can no longer be trusted... — That smile?

21/365 Posting this one late. I was struck down with the awful sickness bug that has been hanging around and spent most of yesterday in bed.

22/365 Still feeling a little under the weather, so nana has taken the babies to hers for the night so I can rest. I miss them already!

23/365 The babies are still with nana, so I had a very much needed cake date with my big girl. I still feel pretty rough but it was so lovely to spend so much time with her. She's grown so much in the last few months and I feel like I haven't been able to enjoy her much. Today was a welcomed break full of giggles — The babies are still with nana, so I had a very much needed cake date with my big girl.

What lovely pictures! I feel as though you’ve really shared your family with us. My twins are just a few months younger than yours, so it’s fun to follow your posts and get a little glimpse into what the future might look like for us.

You have so many beautiful shots and some beautiful reasons for capturing so many special moments. I Love the Me and Mine project, it’s such a great idea.

I love this photo of you all Zoe, and your words ring true with me too, about how you have lots of family photos but want to be able to share memories of you with the children too. Thats kind of how Me and Mine started, because I wanted to be present in those memories, not always hiding behind the camera. And what a lovely idea to share your whole months daily photos too, such a great round up of the month. x
