Twittering from Paris – care to follow?
I have not really got into the habit of Twittering yet, as my normal routine would be so un-thrilling I doubt it would merit much of Twitter-value. However, as I leave for Paris tomorrow, it seems like as good a time as any for some concerted Twitter-ing. If you are even remotely interested, you can…
Valentines, Compassion, a Toddler haircut and more!
Now, that is surely unique combination for a Blog post title. Do you think anyone else has used it? Maybe I should do a Google Search just in case! It is shortly after 6am, and the house is quiet. I wish to reassure you this is not my normal getting up time, but I was…

Sunday Morning on the Strand
One of our favourite family activities when we are up at the cottage is to go to Portstewart Strand. It is a beautiful long sandy beach, owned by the National Trust, with the stunning backdrop of Mussenden Temple, and the Donegal hills in the Republic of Ireland in the distance. It is one of the…
My Nature Table and a Family layout
Welcome to my autumnal show and tell. While gathering leaves, and enjoying the glorious recent Autumn weather, I have also been collecting various other nature items with my kids. We have found conkers, beech nuts, acorns, berries, toadstools, leaves, twigs……. We brought home a selection (but not the toadstools) and arranged them in a bowl…
Our weekend at the castle, and some long-lost friends from Oz

The kit is called Folk Art, and a quick glance and you will soon recognise that Shabby Princess has played a part in…
So, what have I learned this week?
Regular bloggy friends, tell me ……… do you, like me, look forward to these lessons learned? If I did not have this regular prompt to keep my blogging on track I may have disappeared over the edge into the bloggy abyss to join the other abandoned blogs out there. So thanks Jo-Lynne, without you I…
What’s been happening in my world, and another layout from the wedding
Firstly – thanks to everyone who has posted on my blog so far. It is so encouraging to see, and I am amazed – especially when I have had comments from designers who I am a bit in awe of! Eventually I hope to be up to creating a freebie – but not just yet!…
Lessons Learned – and the Room of Gloom
It’s time for this week’s lessons and a recap. Never underestimate the pride and emotion of getting ALL THREE KIDS to school. That day has finally arrived in our house, and here is the evidence to prove it. One week on, everyone is still happy, and no-one has lost any belongings or got themselves lost…

Paris – sweet shot Tuesday
Yay, I remembered, on a Tuesday, to link up a photo! As we are here on holidays in France (on a house swap!), and yesterday took our kids into Paris for the first time, my chosen photo is probably no surprise. I am in the middle of editing and uploading a selection of photos from…
On the 5th of December …some advent calenders
I am not sure what the tradition is in other countries, but here advent calenders are an integral part of Christmas. We do have that come out every year some based on the Nativity some Santa based and then there is the one that got away … I regret not purchasing this one last year…

Show & Tell – the old piano
This piano is the one I learned to play on, and now my children (and husband!) are playing and practicing on it now too.When my parents were moving house about 20 years ago, they decided they did not really have room for it, and proposed getting rid of it. I protested, and asked they keep…
Welcome to my church
This morning while my kids were in Sunday school I decided to take some photos inside the church, as it was trying to snow outside. Fortunately my minister is supportive and understanding about my photography and let me post the photos. I didn’t want him to come across them on Facebook (yes – he is…
The Pink Ladies and a haircut
Had a great night out with the girls last night – a Grease themed night at a local restaurant, with the film, song-sheets to join in, dance lessons, prizes for fancy dress etc. The film stoppped working for a while during the evening, but that didn’t spoil anyone’s enjoyment. Here are a few photos –…

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
I bought this Bananagram game at Britmums Live conference in London last month for a number of reasons:
- 1. It was promoted as a game for all ages (from 7 up)
- 2. It was Olympic 2012 special addition and I was in London and promised to bring home a souvenir
- 3. It looked fun while being educational too
- 4. Easily transported for family holidays
We have already played it with friends and family …. and it has been very popular.
The rules are easy, and it can be fun working in team with some of the younger players
The frequent request on completing a game is “just one more game please”
At Britmums I did see a number of other games from makers of Bananagrams and I would be certainly keen to try some more. This game was purchased by me, and all opinions expressed are entirely my own – promise!
What is your favourite family game?

Shopping in Atlanta
My friends/readers know I love to shop, and want to share a few of the shops I loved during my recent trip to Atlanta. All photos taken on my iphone – so sorry for the quality. Thanks to Nuala, our first hotel was located right beside Pier 1 Imports and The Container Store. I have…
Disney memories
The children all had saved money (with a bit of encouragement from us) to take to Disneyland Paris. Prices seemed very high, as the sterling is now so weak against the Euro, but they each came home happy with their purchases. In the midst of unpacking and mountains of laundry (which I decided NOT to…
Don’t make me laugh….
My husband’s frequent refrain at the moment is “ouch……don’t make me laugh…..ouch”. Often though, it is in fact he who has said something he thought funny, so he is making himself laugh! He is still in quite a lot of pain, and I am still not a very good nurse. My photo for today is…
Looks like a hoot! I can’t remember the last time we played a game, so sad! We hope to go camping in the fall and then we will do that – my Mr. bought a Stratego game at a yard sale, he has fond childhood memories of it so guess who will be learning? Have you ever heard of it?
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings,
