Fun Monday and more.

I will start today with a digital scrapbook layout I created for my neice for her 3rd birthday.

I love these boxes by Paint the Moon. All credits can be found here.

I am joining in with Fun Monday today for the first time.

This week’s Fun Monday is easy, Mariposa is hosting and asking TWO things –

First (1) Please share with us how the NAME of your BLOG was made? I can’t wait to hear interesting funny stories!

(2) Please share with us (in words or photo, though a combination of both will be a bonus!) your favorite/ most common dish!

So how did my blog get it’s name?

It is a bit of a running joke in our family, that when by dh (husband for those who don’t know but are afraid to ask!) does something which is part of my regular day routine he says he does not know how I do it and keep sane. I think it is the unpredictability, the need to adapt to changing circumstances, and the inability to get much else done that he finds challenging (!). He says it is much easier to work outside the home, and my reply is “Welcome to my world!”. Don’t get me wrong, he is a great “hands-on” Dad, but let’s just say we both recognise where our strengths lie!

It therefore seemed an obvious progression when I started a blog last March that this would be it’s name. Hope all that made sense!

So on to food, and for me, my favourite meal has to be Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day with all the trimmings.

My daughter made the Menu card, so you can see what we served Christmas Day 2007.

And here is the food, ready to serve.

I don’t have more photos to share, but a few other favourite foods include

Breakfast – Special K with red berries

Other main courses – Mango Chicken, Irish Stew, Spaghetti Carbonara

Drink – Diet Coke, or (very milky and not too chocolatey) Hot Chocolate

Meringue Nests with Low Fat Fromage Frais and fresh strawberries or raspberries

Two things for you to remember – first the Ultimate Blog Giveaway, happening HERE next week.

Secondly, I am planning my own special giveaway prize for St Patricks Day, so please come back to find out more.

Until then, take care.
