Half Term Happenings
It is lovely to be back at the cottage after almost 2 months of the daily hectic-ness that is every day life. Here there are “lie-ins” – well, later than 6.50am, so that counts! There are no school uniforms, packed lunches and school runs. There is NO HOMEWORK! (HoweverMiddle Daughter is continuing to work hard…

22 December – the stuffing is ready and the table is set
Today has been a day for “getting things done” – I love those sorts of days. Definitely feeling a bit festive around here, still some snow lying around the garden, and even the occasional flurry of flakes falling outside. I have made my super simple stuffing this afternoon. Kids are watching a Christmas movie while…

My Morning Sunshine
My son is such a morning person, so full of energy and smiles, even first thing in the morning. This is the face that greets me each day. How can a mother resist a face like that?!! As January is now complete, I have both my layout for last week, and my month’s summary to…

Our House Swap Day 2 :Clifden and pony trekking on the beach, Galway
We woke up to another bright and breezy day, packed up a picnic, and headed west, past Galway city and into Conemara. The countryside was rugged and beautiful. We stopped at a beach near Ballyconneely for our picnic lunch, and explored the beach. The sand is a beautiful colour, but not as soft and fine…

A Baby Layout

poor you!! Hope you are feeling better soon!!
Anyway a beautiful pic – love the bright colour
Hi JM,
Wow, you can find beauty everywhere you look. I bet you’re teaching your children to appreciate the small miracles all around each and every moment. I feel the same way too. Heavens, I can get “lost” in the bubbles in the sink while doing dishes, in the reflections in the dish of a silver spoon, of the sparkle as our mini lights reflect off of a storm lantern on the mantle. I think it has to do with the view of the person looking – some see the cup 1/2 empty, some 1/2 full.
Looking forward to your next photo and post!
Love,
Barb
