Drum roll please…we’ve had a makeover!
Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed we’re sporting a brand new header at the top of the blog featuring all five members of our newly expanded family for the very first time!
The new design by the ever talented Ellie IllustratesΒ includes Littlest B, who was born on Valentine’s Day and who you’ll find sitting on my lap in the new illustration.
Our new look starring our Valentine’s Day baby!
We live by the sea and I love howΒ we’re captured on the beach – our old header featured our allotment which regular readers will know is no longer a family affair after everyone except me got bored and I turned it into my own personal bolt-hole.
I’m actually really sorry to say goodbye to our old design andΒ I felt quite sad taking it down.
The old header captures a certain time in our lives and represents so many happy memories – I might have to frame it and put it upΒ somewhere at home to remember it by!
But at the same time I loveΒ our new lookΒ which I think capturesΒ each of usΒ perfectly and shows how our family is growing.
Do you blog and have you had a makeover recently? I’d love to hear what you think of our new look!

Ahh love the new look! It’s great to refresh your blog so it’s representing your life at the moment! Can’t wait to read more xx #marvmondays
Ohh I love your illustrated header and how exciting to have littlest B included in the blog now too. I have just installed a new theme and I having a blog make over always makes me feel more motivated when it comes to blogging xx #marvmondays
Ah it’s lovely, thnaks for sharing for #marvmondays x
I love the new look, it’s still so recognisably you as well so a lovely way to move on! #marvmondays
Oh, how cute is that!! I would LOVE to get someone to illustrate a header for my blog. I had one done a few years ago, but since that time we have had two more babies, so I took it down. And the person who did the illustration has since stopped doing blog design. I’m in search of another artist (in the U.S.) who can do one for me. #marvmondys
ah I wondered if you would get another pic! Lovely. xx #marvmondays
That is such a cute header! It’s lovely that everyone is included π #MarvMondays
Visiting from #twinklytuesday, and I love your new look!
I love your new look! It’s so cute and I think it sums up your family perfectly! #TwinklyTuesday
So lovely that the whole family is getting featured in your header! Really lovely π xx #twinklyTuesday
I love your new header – it is fantastic! I keep thinking about changing mine up but not sure as it’s quite recognisable! Thanks for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
I love the new header. It’s lovely to include the new baby. #Coolmumclub
Gorgeous! I love illustrated headers, something I will be sorting in the near future for my blog too! #coolmumclub
I have blog envy! I always think I need to update my theme and header but my site has become like a comfy old pair of slippers I don’t want to throw away! One day I’ll make the leap…
Thanks for sharing with #coolmumclub
Looks fab, and captures everyone so well!
#coolmumclub
Loving the new header, it’s great to have everyone represented and showcase where you’re family are at now x
#Coolmumclub
I love your new header and how it really represents you abd your family. Mine is rubbish, the tech bit of blogging blows my mind so I wouldn’t know where to begin in making it look.more wonderful
A great new look, live the idea you have kept the same style just updated it as your family has been updated too! #twinklytuesday
Love it and that you’ve managed to include your latest addition! #TwinklyTuesday
I love how your design has evolved but kept the essence of your blog. #KCACOLS
Love the new header! She does such good work! And I really love the idea of framing a print of your old header to keep forever, I think that’s what I would want to do. x #KCACOLS
I love the new header, she has done a great job of capturing you all. It is always sad to see the older header go, I felt like this when I changed mine last October. It was a bit sentimental my last one, but I knew I had to change it and I love my new one. I would definitely get it framed x #KCACOLS
Your new header’s great but I completely understand missing your old one too! It represents such a lovely stage in your life, you should definitely frame it – in fact, frame them both!! #kcacols
This had made me want to get someone to “cartoon” my family. Although boys on a Xbox is probably not an exciting picture!
Thanks so much for linking up at #KCACOLS. Hope you come back again next time.
I liked the old header but the new one is fab too. Our lives change and it’s only right to reflect the exciting changes to your family. That reminds me, my header’s overdue a redesign too … #KCACOLS
