Back to the beach
Having not been walking on the beach since half-term back in October, it was great to be back today. It was chilly and the “wee beach” at Portballintrae was all but desserted apart from us. I took a few lots of photos : It looked idyllic, and very calm in the sheltered bay These are…
Taste Test – Organic Chocolate – a tough job, but someone has to do it!
As a blogger you sometimes get approached to review products, host giveaways or add a link to your sidebar. Some are more relevant and enticing than others, but when offered the chance to taste test some Green and Black Organic Chocolate from their range, there was NO hesitation. When the chocolate arrived (8 large bars)…

It is a beautiful small New England…

Coastal walk and a film set
With only 2 weeks left before school uniforms and new school shoes need to be ready, we are enjoying spending time at the cottage. Nothing very exciting, just relaxed normal. Weather has not been wonderful, but when it is dry we tend to end up on a coastal path or on the beach. On Sunday…

Summer Days in Cape Cod
We are having a wonderful time here in Cape Cod. Despite holidaying in our cottage near the beach in Northern Ireland we aren’t used to sunbathing in such heat and swimming in such warm waters.

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?

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!
