Last beach walk of 2021.Any New Years Eve plans – we are staying in (as usual!) Just the 5 of us…. and the cat and dog of course! 2021 has had it's lows but also some highs including a graduation, gcse results and a puppy . The best gift has been having everyone at home safe and well for Christmas / New Year. Here's to 2022, whatever it may bring!

Singing in the Disney Rain!
We have experienced all sorts of weather since our arrival in Disneyland Paris. Today started cool and damp, and ended up wet, wet, wet! We still had a great time, exploring Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, Alice’s Curious Labtrinth, Casey Jnr (non-scary) roller coaster (twice!), the story book boat trip and of course another round of Buzz,…
On the 4th day of December….a christmas mantlepiece
Today I want to share my decorated mantle piece. In the past I have usually decorated it with a garland and cream chunky candles. This year I bought the gold letters spelling NOEL, and as I did not wanted them to be hidden by the garland we have had a change this year. I have…

It has been too long since I joined it the blog carnival “What I Learned This Week” So, in no particular order, here are my lessons learned 1. Sometimes a night out with friends is better organised with little advance notice, and last friday 5 of us headed into Belfast, without kids, on the train,…

On the 7th of December…..there’s no business like snow business!
Sorry for the snowy pun, but the large (for N Ireland) snowfall yesterday has greatly impacted on today. For the first time in my memory, schools have been closed due to the snow and ice. We just don’t cope at all well with any sort of change to our normal weather. Somehow other nations manage…

Lessons Learned – Hats, education and faith
A bit of a mixed bag of lessons learned this week. First, because I love the photo, as they say “If you want to get ahead, get a hat” – who said that anyway? While checking out a local craft fair last week, my daughter chose this gorgeous hand-knitted hat. A bargin at only £6….

A Wii review and a "not so wee" Wii giveaway
I was recently sent the Wii game Bonsai Barber by to review on my blog. The kids were all excited by the prospect of a new Wii game, and this one was no exception. The instructions were easy to follow, and once I read the inital on-screen instructions to my 5 year old, he could…

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?

DOBBLE – fun family game review
From time to time as I blogger I have the opportunity to review products. I don’t always take up these offers, but this is one I was very glad I did. All the opinions are my own (or my kids) – I was not paid for this review, just sent the game to try out with…
Wedding Fever
As we were driving back up from Galway, and our house swap, we missed watching the Royal Wedding live on TV. So last night I settled down with the family to watch the highlights on the BBC. While watching I learnt the following: 1. My daughters know very little about our Royal Family – there…

Cottage purchases
While on holidays my daughters and husband loved visiting Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister etc. I made a few clothes purchases – Old Navy, Gap, Marshalls and Payless Shoes but I much prefer shopping for bits and pieces for the home, or wandering up and down the aisles of the large supermarkets, marveling at the different…
Easy to make Teacher Gifts and Growing Up Fast!
This year we made the same teacher gifts as last year for my son’s teacher and classroom assistant. For each vase you need a straight drinking glass about 30 new pencils per vase (more than you think!) some blue tac a glue gun (I assume most glues would work, but I like to live dangerously!)…
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,
