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….
PS I Love You
So I am starting with a film – on Thursday night I went to our local cinema with 3 friends to see PS I Love You (one of whom should have been at choir practice, but her reply to my invite was, and I quote: “Stuff choir”!) Our first observation was goodness, look how many…
Lessons Learned – results, chefs, parties and talent!
This week’s lessons learned Nothing says summer quite like eating ice-cream in the back garden with the kids after school. I enjoyed having house guests again – it has been a while. Dave and Debbie and Joseph were passing through on the way from England to use our cottage on the North coast. They were…
A Spontaneous Visit to the Cottage
It’s not like us to be spontaneous! With 3 kids and hectic lives, we usually plan well in advance when we are heading north, and usually only go when we are able to for the full weekend. However, on Friday evening, with a reasonable weather forecast, we decided to drive up after lunch on Saturday….
O Christmas Tree
Quick post as it is my eldest daughter’s 10th birthday party tonight. I read HERE about some tips for taking photos of your Christmas tree. I don’t have a tripod (yet!) so I improvised with my ironing board – finally I found as use for my ironing board that I like!! So here is my…

On the 13th Day of December…..my 200th post
I can’t quite believe I have made it to 200 posts! Thanks for joining me to celebrate. On the 13th day of December I have decided to share this Christmas meme (for my non-bloggering friends this is a term for an “All about Me” post that bloggers use). I have seen versions of this on…
Life is hectic!
This is turning out to be a very busy week, but mostly self-inflicted, so only myself to blame. I will start by sharing my pic for today, my son (again!) which I took for the first module of the online photography course. Today is the deadline for our first submissions. Here are the two other…
Another day, another french Cathedral!
Our house swap in France continues, and contrary to appearances, we are not planning our days out around stunning cathedrals, but everywhere we visit seems to have one! Today our plan was to visit Reims for some shopping, as heavy rain was forcast. The rain never materialised, and by mid afternoon it was hot and…
Wii have finished! ….. and ramblings too
Okay – I promise no more “wii” puns for a while. The 30 day challenge I undertook with the Wii EA Active Sport Personal Trainer is over, or at least if would have been, if I had managed to complete all 20 workouts which I should have managed to do by now. Confession – 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!
What I collect
I am rather fond of collecting (as my long-suffering husband will testify to) – books – I seem to like collecting books, although I rarely read them again, as I remember too clearly what happens in them, so don’t enjoy reading them again! I am the same with watching films again – I don’t see…

Lessons Learned – wrong on so many levels!
I am late in the day posting my lessons learned, but it as well I was, as I would have missed this classic comment from my 10 year old daughter. This afternoon a little girl from my son’s class came over to play – they are both 5. They were playing tunes on an electronic…
Lessons Learned – and the Room of Gloom
It’s time for this week’s lessons and a recap. Never underestimate the pride and emotion of getting ALL THREE KIDS to school. That day has finally arrived in our house, and here is the evidence to prove it. One week on, everyone is still happy, and no-one has lost any belongings or got themselves lost…
Shopping Bag Giveaway
This post was originally part of my previous post HERE, part of this week’s Show & Tell. Do you bring your own reuseable bags to the supermarket? I TRY to remember, and now have a great collection of various shapes and sizes. My favourite however, have to be these new ones in Tesco’s designed exclusively…
On the 19th day of December…..Ho, Ho, Ho!
Daily December blogging continues, please join me up to Christmas Eve as we celebrate the birth of Jesus, our Saviour. Last night we took our 3 kids to visit Santa at a local garden centre. The “winter wonderland” is created by volunteers by a local children’s charity, and all profits go to the charity. 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?

Autumn on the Beach, and other lessons
This weekend we escaped to the cottage. Although on Friday morning I was not looking forward to packing up and getting there, waking up to sunny blue skies on Saturday morning made it all worth while. I took my camera off to the beach, to capture some textures and colours. I was amazed by the…
Babies and Brochures
It was a week of contrasts this week – one day I was up in Coleraine, discussing my janmary designs brochure design with Zing. All will be revealed soon, I hope, but in the mean time, this is my favourite image from my photo shoot with Debbie Johnston and the lovely model Finnoula – planning…
Family Game Review – Mega High Tower
From time to time I am approached to review products or services which might be of interest to my family or my readers. My kids literally “jumped” at the chance to try out this large wooden tower game (just like Jenga!) called Mega High Tower from www.gardengames.co.uk. We played it for the first time yesterday….
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,
Barb
