It is great to be part of such a caring church…
My Mother’s Day and THE WINNERS!
First my Mother’s Day, then the winners. (if you can’t wait – skip to the end, read, and come back, please!) I was woken at 7am by 3 kids with an array of cards and gifts – including a lovely jewelry stand (which I will share later in the week), a Ronan Keating CD –…
So, Did You Miss Me?
You probably may not have even noticed, but it has been quite a while since I have posted. However, in my defense I am on holidays, and around here I try to put real life before blogging (gasp of horrors all around). The more observervant among you may even notice a new look to the…

How I use Instagram in these changed times and 3rd lockdown.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how I use Instagram in these changed times and 3rd lockdown. Everyone has been impacted in different ways, and I wasn’t sure it was relevant to keep faffing with flatlays, sharing random (local) walks and chatting to you in instastories from my shed. So I reached out for…
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…
The Best Camera You Have is The One You Have With You
“The best camera you have is the one you have with you” is a quote by Chase Jarvis, who wrote a book called “The Best Camera” all about his iphone photography. The other day I stumbled upon a workshop being held by Jack Hollingsworth about iPhoneology. Can you see a common theme here?! I have…
Sunrise 9am
The view over the playing fields after I left the kids to school this morning. For those commentors yesterday speculating my husband was purchasing a gift for me on his laptop yesterday ………it was his tax form for the Inland Revenue!
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…
In Our Family
Here is my latest layout, which I made for a friend’s 40th birthday. (Being 40 is obviously THE age to be – I have obviously started a trend!) I love the words, which were provided by his wife (but source unknown). The photo of their family was taken in a boat in front of Carrick-a-rede…

23 December – twas the night before Christmas EVE!
Today was another “at home” day with the kids. I put a few more finishing touches to the dining table, which I forgot to share with you yesterday, despite including it in the title.

Prayers for Peace
As happened in many churches across Northern Ireland, this morning our minister, Brian, led us in prayers for peace for our land. Our church leaders this week suggested that, as a practical sign of our revulsion towards violence and our determination as one community to speak with one voice on this issue, people wear a…

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?

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…
First Snowdrops
I is always so encouraging to see the first signs of Spring, when it is so cold. Confession here, these are not my snowdrops, but a neighbours (!), but I did take the picture. What is blooming (if anything) where you live (or in your neighbours garden!)? I am posting these for my Show and…

French Life – good life Wednesday
One of the many things I love about house swapping holidays / vacations, particularily in a non-touristy area is seeing life in other countries as it really is – not in a picture perfect manicured theme-park version of a country. We are staying on the edge of a lovely medieval french hill-top town, but 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,
