Snow Angels and Feathered Friends
Although it was lovely getting the kids and the house back to “normal” routine after the Christmas holidays, we only had a couple of days to get used to it. Northern Ireland has been experiencing it’s worst winter in years, and snow which normally never lasts on the ground for more than an hour or…
An Irish Linen Scrim – a Show and Tell
In my search for some appropriate Irish-themed prizes for the St Patricks Blogging Carnival (I did mention that before – just a few times!) I came across this piece of natural (un-bleached) linen. It was quite a large piece, and at first I thought it might be a table centre piece. I love linen in…

The summer has begun!
School finished on Thursday, and we were up here at the cottage by early afternoon on Friday.

We went…

Last Christmas
I know it was only last week, but Christmas Day seems a long time ago now! I have not yet shared anything of Christmas Day itself. The kids got up at the civilised hour of 7am, not too bad in our opinion. Everyone was delighted with their gifts, especially Sam, as he had been concerned…
My first 7 days with a personal trainer!
Me?…..with a personal trainer…….yes – a Wii EA Sports Active personal trainer! What is more, she is very encouraging at my attempts to get fit. When given the chance to review this Wii game (although definitely less of a game than Wii Fit) I jumped at the chance – well I would have if I…

It was so good to be back on the beach this morning
After my father-in-law’s funeral it was so good to be back at the beach, breathing in some sea air. We headed to White Rocks – practically desserted- perfect!

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?

Half Term Happenings
It is lovely to be back at the cottage after almost 2 months of the daily hectic-ness that is every day life. Here there are “lie-ins” – well, later than 6.50am, so that counts!

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,…
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,
