Show & Tell – Kitchen Accessories
While planning my kitchen makeover, I did my best to resist buying any new kitchen accessories. However, now the end is in sight, and the BIG full reveal planned for next week, I have succumbed to a few purchases over the past few weeks. This week they are my Show and Tell. I am also…
The Wonderful World of Pinterest
I have resisted too long, not sharing my love for Pinterest on my blog It is where I can go and pretend I am being creative, but actually it is just like flicking through your favourite glossy magazines, and instead of trying to remember the ideas, you can just “pin it” to your own memory/mood…
A beautiful coastal walk in Northern Ireland
As heavy rain was forcast for later in the day, we chose to head out in the morning. I was dropped off (or “dropped” as my 4 year old said!) at Carrick-a-rede to commence my walk.There is a small section of the Causeway Coastal Path between Carrick-a-rede rope bridge and Ballintoy which I really wanted…
A different room with a view!
I’m home from hospital, I had my hyperparathyroidism surgery on Tuesday, and I must say there is nothing like being in your own bed, with your own duvet, and of course a cosy laptop helps too! Don’t panic, no scary photos of scars, but here are a few unedited images from my iphone. The part…
Singing in the Disney Rain!
We have experienced all sorts of weather since our arrival in Disneyland Paris. Today started cool and damp, and ended up wet, wet, wet! We still had a great time, exploring Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, Alice’s Curious Labtrinth, Casey Jnr (non-scary) roller coaster (twice!), the story book boat trip and of course another round of Buzz,…

On the 13th of December … the School Christmas Nativity Concert
A quick post today as lots happening, but I just want to share some photos of the School Christmas Nativity Concert. My son was Polish Boy Number 9 – perhaps not the most pivotal role in the Nativity, but he did us proud. With great enthusiasm and attention to detail he danced, sang and said…
Lessons learned and creativity shared
Have a thumping headache, so this will be a short(ish) post! First some items to share: Two Digital Scrap Layouts featuring a certainly little red-headed boy who turned 5 last week. He told me it was his “BEST birthday ever”. Two recently commissioned items I made for janmary designs.(Not much for sale in the Etsy…
What I Learned this Week
I learned the following this week 1. As a dedicated blogger and photographer of everyday moments, don’t make pancakes for breakfast on Pancake Day and then forget to photograph the aforementioned pancakes before they are all eaten! 2. Enjoy the simple things with your kids – my 4 year old and I walked home from…
Alfred and his chicken!
Now, there’s a blog post title you don’t see everyday – but more of thay later. First thing first – no your eyes do not deceive you – I do now have 2 CT blinkies to show off. Still can’t quite believe it, but yes – the amazing girls at Weeds and Wildflowers have let…
A fairytale castle in France
Today we headed for a chateau, which made a change from a cathedral! Or else there would have been a risk that this blog and our holiday would need to be remamed “a Tour or French Cathedrals while House Swapping”! It was in the beautiful village of Pierrefonds, and not surprisingly has been used as a…

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…
The tale of the pirate and the two fridge/freezers
Today was Pirate Day for the Primary 5 kids at school today. My middle daughter asked me to draw some “scars” on her face and hands to add to the authenticity! Here is her teacher, getting into the spirit of things. And her class mates too. At midnight last night, while switching off the lights,…

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…

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?

Evening on the East Strand, Portrush
When the sun shines, and the temperature rises just a wee bit, it really is quite a lovely place to be. On Sunday evening, we headed over to “the Port” (Portrush) for an icecream and a walk on the beach. The East Strand, also called Curran Strand, is stunning, and even on a warm evening…

Shopping – or not – home exchange in France continues
Today we designated as “shopping day” of our 2 week holiday in France, and we headed north to Lille. Thanks to some excellent driving by my husband, and excellent navigating by moi, we managed to go directly to an outlet shopping centre, followed by a large shopping centre. I did buy a few items of…
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,
