Show and Tell – a cross-stitch sampler
For today’s show and tell I am sharing a cross-stitch picture I completed in 1990 – what a long time ago! I used to have the time, patience and eye-sight for cross-stitch. Now it appears I have none of these!!! Originally I hung this in the kitchen of our first home. When we moved, it…
An Illuminating Christmas (and a giveaway!)
Christmas is nearly upon us and I can’t wait for my husband to make his annual pilgrimage to our attic to bring down our Christmas decorations, trees and lights. As we have several kids birthday’s in December my husband yields to my pressure at the beginning of December to bring out the decorations – I…
Another Bedroom Makeover
Last week I shared our eldest daughter’s bedroom makeover. Our younger daughter requested that I share her new room too. Her birthday present was a makeover of her bedroom, and as we still had the wallpaper that had been there since we bought the house 10 years ago, we let her choose some paint too….

On the 4th day of December – it’s (sort of) beginning to look a lot like Christmas

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?

Taste Test – Organic Chocolate – a tough job, but someone has to do it!
As a blogger you sometimes get approached to review products, host giveaways or add a link to your sidebar. Some are more relevant and enticing than others, but when offered the chance to taste test some Green and Black Organic Chocolate from their range, there was NO hesitation. When the chocolate arrived (8 large bars)…
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!
