So this day last week, I was in the operating theatre, and as thankful I am for the NHS, it is much more lovely being at home. Lessons learned : 1. Photo opportunities are more limited when you don’t leave the house for a week! 2. My Mum and Dad brought me these lovely flowers,…
Lessons Learned at SITS Bloggy Boot Camp, Atlanta
Continuing on from yesterdays post about attending a blog conference, (in Atlanta, Georgia – yes, incredible, I know!!!) today I will share some specific lessons I learned from the sessions – I learned SO much, but here is the key phrases that stayed with me from of the sessions, including a link to the speaker….
New Beginnings
This title sounds like the name of a digital scrapbooking kit! Alas, no, I have not started designing my own kits. Much too difficult, I prefer to use other peoples’ stuff. So how was you New Year? We had a quiet New Years Eve, apart from our neighbour who came round and was coerced into…
After the hair-cut, and after the front tooth fell out!
As previously mentioned, my 6 year old was desparately in need of a haircut. I promised some after photos. Then his front tooth fell out, so here are some after-the-after photos too. And yes- the cheeky grin and red hair perfectly match his temperament! Finally, I was struck by the similarity between these two photos…

Day 20 -Christmas Crackers
It dawned on me yesterday, while competing for the christmas goodies in Marks & Spencers and remembering I already had some crackers, that I have not seen ANY crackers mentioned on blogs, in digi-kits, or even in digital Lay-outs. I assumed therefore that these are a purely British tradition, but a Wikipedia Search revealed that…

Holiday purchases and souvenirs from France
We are home from our holidays, having had 2 great weeks in France. The weather wasn’t fantastic, but we had a lovely time. I have already written a post about some of the things I didn’t buy in France, the items I reluctantly resisted. Here, however, are a few of the items I DID purchase…
The "Before the Kitchen Makeover" Pics
I decided it was time to share my current kitchen/family room. The makeover starts on Friday, when the existing floor, and appliances will be removed. The only items which will be staying are the navy sofas. Ever since we bought this house 10 years ago, I have been planning the replacement in my mind. It…

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?

Fathers Day here in Northern Ireland
Happy Father’ Day to my husband, my dad, father-in-law and all the other dad’s too!

Instead I will share something…

A Wall Hanging and St Patrick’s Day hats
At the beginning of this month I posted a close up photo of a table runner I purchased at a Christmas Market. I always had intended to turn it into a wall hanging, and here we are – exhibit A! It is made up of lots of different fabrics, many with embroidery and sequins. My…
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,
