Had friends from church…

I’m back – this is what I’ve been up to
Arrived home yesterday after 9 nights at our holiday cottage. We had some gorgeous weather – more like summer than spring, and not a drop of rain. We met up with friends, had lots of picnics, walks, icecreams, had friends to sleepover, pony lessons for the kids, visited a farm, and of course time on…

Tonight’s layout after a lovely weekend
So here is the layout. It is of my middle daughter Jane in Lady Dixon Park, Belfast 2 years ago. I remember it was a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon (just as today), and there was a brass band playing in the park. The girls played with their skipping ropes while we sat on a blanket…

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…

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
- 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?

Christmas Traditions shared (or are they Rules?)
At www.JohnLewis.com they are asking parents to share their Christmas “Rules for a Perfect Family Christmas” and plan to compile a huge list of them early in December. This post is my contribution. Being a bit contrary, I prefer to call them traditions……. Rules are just asking to be disobeyed, but traditions sounds much more…….something?!!!…

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,
