Welcome to the World Jonathan!
The title of today’s post is due to the news of the wonderful safe arrival of a little baby boy called Jonathan. We are so delighted for his parents and big sister. I have had two sick daughters this week – but not at the same time! Both recovered now, and hopefully back to normal…
Cow Girls at a party
Credits – https://https://www.digishoptalk.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=119859&cat=all&ppuser=3752 Last night I created this layout of Sarah and her friends at a recent birthday party. They really enjoyed getting all dressed up, which was lovely to see, as they are all past the princess/fairy stage of wanting to dress-up. I used the Going West kit from Weeds & Wildflowers, which is…
Midweek Update – how exciting a title is that?!
I am blogging on my husband’s laptop in preparation for our US trip, including NOT using Photoshop Elements to edit and resize all of the photos. We will see how it goes….. So what has been happening? Last Friday night we had our annual trip to Barry’s in Portrush….. On Saturday we visited the Dunluce…

Photography Course – The Details
There is a particular street in Lisburn with lots of old premises, many in need of some renovation, but with great photo potential. I spent an hour wandering up and down, photographing peeling paint, cobwebs and locks. I got a few strange looks, and one lady did come out to ask me what I was…
Mouse mat memories
While at my laptop today, backing up photos and digital scrap stuff to an external hard drive, I was looking around for inspiration for my photo today for Project 365. I looked no farther than right beside me – my Parisian mouse mat. I purchased this from a small touristy shop near the Sacre Couer…
Day 23 – He’s Not Home for Christmas Anymore!
A lot of sad faces in our house tonight, poor George, our ginger cat, will be spending his Christmas with the vet. And his Christmas Day present will probably be the relief of being catheterised again! Poor thing still having problems, but in the best place. Also, in comparison to some really big issues facing…

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?

This is the little robin that visits our garden. I hoped to get a photo of him with a less distracting background…..maybe another day……at least he was enjoying his lunch.

Valentine Hearts
Happy Valentines Day to one and all. I made waffles (well, technically I just reheated them) with strawberries and blueberries for breakfast in bed for my husband.There were also chocolates and candles exchanged and cards from the kids. In the interest of Project 365 I had the kids help me find as many heart shaped…
The fields and castle of Athenry
Ok, this post is not actually about the fields, and mostly about the castle of Athenry, but it is hard for the song The Fields of Athenry not to pop into your mind while you drive around the town and area. The castle is a glorious medieval castle, simply restored, that has been preserved since it…

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,
