Welcome to a new year, and a new DECADE on 1.1.11 :)
How are you this first day of twenty eleven? Here’s what has been happening since my recap of the year (in many words and photos) yesterday/last year! We were invited to a party which was to be our first attempt to go out to a party, with the 3 kids, and attempt to keep everyone…
On the 7th day of December….a Christmas Nativity..again!
If you have been here recently, thanks for coming back, and by now you will realise how I love Christmas, and especially the Nativity story, which is the reason for the season (a cliche I know, but true!). So, for today, I present to you….. Mary,Joseph and Baby Jesus I love the look of amazement…
iPhone Friday – app of the week – PhotoSynth

GIVEAWAY – win £50 of kitchen equipment
I was delighted when I was given the chance to host a giveaway from Cookware Essentials (now called Wayfair) to one of my UK readers as well as getting to chose an item for myself. I had such fun browsing their on-line store looking for an item for our new kitchen. Should I chose something…
On the 23rd day of December…..some no-bake baking for Christmas
With the kids all off school, and as we are avoiding all possible retail experiences, we have done some baking. Yesterday we made brownies (yes, actual baking, including an oven and all that!) and they were delicious. Today normal service has resumed in that our baking today is a no-bake recipe. This is a classic…

A Soggy Saturday and an Early Christmas Present
Yes, it is a dark and wet Saturday afternoon, but I got my Christmas present VERY EARLY and managed to persuade my husband that waiting until Christmas morning would NOT be a good idea – what if I couldn’t use it properly and miss all the photos of the kids on Christmas morning! Which camera…
Lessons Learned – I will survive!
Lesson 1 I will survive! This is how I felt after I survived doing the “weekly big food shop” this morning with all THREE kids! To my amazement, there was no blood, only a few tears (and none of those were mine) and despite allowing free reign in the breakfast cereal aisle we did not…
Blogging from the beach
Following my last live blogging on my iPhone, here I am again, blogging on the go! We are on Runkerry Strand, the sun is shining, it is pleasantly warm and the waves are gentle. It is October so it is time to attempt to get the family photo for the Christmas card. Usually with assistance…
23 December – twas the night before Christmas EVE!
Today was another “at home” day with the kids. I put a few more finishing touches to the dining table, which I forgot to share with you yesterday, despite including it in the title. My middle daughter and I tied some Christmas baubles and some digi-scrapped name tags to each napkin with some ribbon. …
Meet Jonathan and his big sister
So this is my friends’ new baby Jonathan meeting his big sister for the first time a few hours after arriving in this world. The lovely photo was taken by the proud father. I showed considerable and remarkable restraint by limiting myself to just a few elements and NO paper – a first for me!…

On the 10th of December .. Christmas movies and books
At the beginning of each December, when the Christmas boxes come down from the attic, one of the boxes I most look forward to opening is the one that contains the Christmas films and books. Until Christmas Eve I like to leave them under the Christmas tree, until they are replaced by the presents! The…
Day 9 – A visit to Santa
Thanks first for all the best wishes for Jane, who turned 8 yesterday. The party went well, lots of giggling and sweets and even some craft, and I was so tired I fell asleep on the sofa after we had cleared up. After church and lunch today, we headed off to visit Santa, with our…

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?

The Palm House, Botanic Gardens, Belfast
This morning I took this photo of the Palm House in Botanic Gardens, Belfast as U was attending a Craft N I seminar in the Ulster Museum. It was incredibly blustery – although all looks calm with clear blue skies – so windy in fact that there was a barrier preventing the public getting any…
The kitchen continues, and we go to the beach

On the 4th day of December….a christmas mantlepiece
Today I want to share my decorated mantle piece. In the past I have usually decorated it with a garland and cream chunky candles. This year I bought the gold letters spelling NOEL, and as I did not wanted them to be hidden by the garland we have had a change this year. I have…
Cottage dolls and sleeping males!
This title will make sense, I promise! We are up at the cottage for relaxing end to half-term, recovering from our non-stop trip to Disneyland Paris. My Show and Tell for this week are these new purchases for the cottage. I picked up the two dolls in the post-Christmas sales and I knew I would…
Jungle Speed – review a great game for all the family
I was recently contacted about reviewing Jungle Speed by a toy company. Although the game was sent to me for review, the opinions are all my own (or my kids)!!! It is portable, easy to set up, relatively easy to explain to all ages, there is a bit of skill and concentration required, or you can…
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,
