I remember the moment that Eva was born like it was yesterday. So many memories of the baby days fade over time, details get blurry and you can no longer ‘feel’ it, but this, this still stays with me as vivid as can be.

Becoming a Mummy For The First Time {Looking Back #1}

January 13, 2023January 13, 2017 by Elle Steer

It has been 6 years and 14 days since I became a mummy. Since I gave birth to this tiny little 6lb 10oz dot of a thing at 37+4 weeks gestation, on the strike of 3:46pm. That December day in 2010 as everyone else was winding down after Christmas and getting ready to welcome in the new year, I was very ready to welcome in a whole new life in more ways than one, and in that very moment my life completely changed.

Hello. I'm Elle a travel and photography obsessed Mum of two based in England. With my family lifestyle and travel blog I love to share affordable attainable travel and days out in the UK and beyond. We love to discover off the beaten track (as well as the more trodden occasionally too) experiences to see as much of the uniqueness of the world and culture as we can, around school and a corporate 9-5. Hidden gems are our jam and give me mountains and beaches over crowds and cities any day of the week. In the UK we love the outdoors, waterfalls, hikes and sharing the best of British beaches. We also adore a National Trust. Nothing better than a National Trust on a quiet Sunday. I hope to inspire and help you realise travelling with children doesn't have to compromise your travel plans. Come along for the ride..
