We are human too!
So my daughters have been begging me to teach them some digital scrapbooking, and together we made some thank you cards and a book mark for their teachers. It was good fun, and already they are getting to grips with it. I have edited the cards to erase the teachers names and protect the…
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…

Day 9 – A visit to Santa
Thanks first for all the best wishes for Jane, who turned 8 yesterday. The party went well, lots of giggling and sweets and even some craft, and I was so tired I fell asleep on the sofa after we had cleared up. After church and lunch today, we headed off to visit Santa, with our…
Show & Tell – the old piano
This piano is the one I learned to play on, and now my children (and husband!) are playing and practicing on it now too.When my parents were moving house about 20 years ago, they decided they did not really have room for it, and proposed getting rid of it. I protested, and asked they keep…

On the 13th of December … the School Christmas Nativity Concert
A quick post today as lots happening, but I just want to share some photos of the School Christmas Nativity Concert. My son was Polish Boy Number 9 – perhaps not the most pivotal role in the Nativity, but he did us proud. With great enthusiasm and attention to detail he danced, sang and said…
Holiday purchases and souvenirs from France
We are home from our holidays, having had 2 great weeks in France. The weather wasn’t fantastic, but we had a lovely time. I have already written a post about some of the things I didn’t buy in France, the items I reluctantly resisted. Here, however, are a few of the items I DID purchase…

Summer Days in Cape Cod
We are having a wonderful time here in Cape Cod. Despite holidaying in our cottage near the beach in Northern Ireland we aren’t used to sunbathing in such heat and swimming in such warm waters. Most days we have visited a different beach and spent the morning there. We haven’t found one we don’t like…

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?

A different room with a view!
I’m home from hospital, I had my hyperparathyroidism surgery on Tuesday, and I must say there is nothing like being in your own bed, with your own duvet, and of course a cosy laptop helps too! Don’t panic, no scary photos of scars, but here are a few unedited images from my iphone. The part…

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,
