What would you like to be remembered for?
For me it would be as a devoted mummy, someone who treasured their family and did everything she could for her child; to make them happy and have a lifetime of happy memories.
A bit like this lady really!
I think that there is nothing more fitting for Kerry's last post than to read about her Family Frolics at Peppa Pig World; to see her beaming face, the giggles from the twins, a grin coaxed from BB via a mummy tickle, the fun and laughter that they had as a family. The wonderful memories of that family day out will be something that I'm sure her family hold dear, and I have often looked back on that post during the past year when I have wanted to remember her vibrancy, her love of life and her family.
And so I come to Kerry's legacy, what the 'Family Frolics' linky was all about and what I think she would love to be remembered for; celebrating family life.
Thank you Kerry for reminding me that family time is all that matters.

This post has been written in remembrance of Multiple Mummy who died on 14th December 2012; deeply missed.
The 'Family Frolics' blog-hop below will remain open until Friday 27th December. It would be great if you could join in to show Kerry is not forgotten and that her love of family life had a lasting impact on others.

I remember Family Frolics 🙂 what a lovely tribute. I can't believe it's been a year. I think about her a lot and especially when Britmums and the MADs come around or when I see Science sparks post something.

What a beautiful post and a lovely tribute to Kerry. I agree with everything you have said, and ultimately, that's how I want to be remembered too. After all my girls are the most important thing. x

This is a wonderful linky and tribute to a woman who meant so much to us. I have really enjoyed reviewing our year and am so proud of what we have done too. I think Kerry is looking down on us all and is smiling broadly.
Much love xx

Such a lovely post. It's great to read these posts and hear how similar her impact was on us all, family was always at the centre of everything for her, and there is no other way that I would rather be. x

it is so true. It is so easy to get so busy doing "stuff" that we forget what really matters. A beautiful post

I didn't realise all you wonderful bloggers were doing a blog hop in honour of Kerry this weekend and as one of her closest friends it was a nice surprise after a tearful weekend and so lovely to see that it is not just her family and friends who held her in such high regard. She was everything you describe and so so much more. Thank you all for doing this!!
jenny paulin says

Laura (@ Chez Mummy) says
Family frolics was a linky I always wanted to join in with, but never really got round to doing it. Kerry's death brought it home to me about how precious life is and how we should make the most of it. This is a great way to remember Kerry and I've linked up a post in honour of a lovely lady taken too soon.

Beautiful post and thank you for organising. Kerry was always so inspiring and always always smiling. xx
