A beautiful coastal walk in Northern Ireland

I was dropped off (or “dropped” as my 4 year old said!) at Carrick-a-rede to commence my walk.There is a small section of the Causeway Coastal Path between Carrick-a-rede rope bridge and Ballintoy which I really wanted…

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…

Twinkle, twinkle

We are human too!

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
- 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?

I bought my first nativity…
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!
