Sisters
My two daughters, messing around in front of the camera to humour their mother and her Project 365. They are very tolerant of me and my camera, most of the time! Thanks kids, love you lots.
Canvas Wall Art – a review of Canvas Dezign
I love taking photos and sharing them online or through digital scrapbooking. I am always on the lookout for different ways to display my photos and was delighted when canvas dezign approached me with the offer of a canvas to review on my blog. I knew exactly the photo I wanted to use, and the…
I’m Back!
Did you miss me? Did you even notice I was gone? I have received a few messages, wondering if I had fallen off the planet, but I just had a bloggy break. So what’s been happening? Well, I have just had the most wonderful weekend over in Bristol (in England, in case you are geographically…
Get ready for Spring with a Spring Wreath for your home
Ready for Spring? How about some spring door decor? I create wreaths ready to hang, or why not create your own with one of my Spring wreath kits – everything included apart from a pair of scissors. Each wreath and wreath kit is unique – the flowers and foliage may differ slightly from the one…
Show & Tell – A cottage garden (and a winner)
Today for my Show and Tell I want to share the new garden “feature” (if you can call it that!) at our holiday cottage.Now, you may be imagining beautiful country roses, heavily scented and full of gorgeous blooms…. …..you’d be wrong! I have gone for the complete opposite – modern and minimal……. hope you are…
On the 10th of December .. Christmas movies and books
At the beginning of each December, when the Christmas boxes come down from the attic, one of the boxes I most look forward to opening is the one that contains the Christmas films and books. Until Christmas Eve I like to leave them under the Christmas tree, until they are replaced by the presents! The…

WFMW – craft party for 11 year old
I have two daughters, both born in December, and have the joy of two parties to organize just before Christmas. Usually we have the parties at home, a pyjama party with DVD, snacks and a craft activity. They enjoy the craft, and then they have it to take home instead of a party bag. Last…
Lessons learned – lots of them
Can you guess what this is? Read on! I am starting my lessons learned this week with two I forgot to include last week! Exams and results are almost as stressful when being sat by your kids. My daughter may disagree! We were very proud of her results anyway irrespective of who found it more…
Down on the farm
This afternoon, we visited an open farm with our kids. It was a lovely warm afternoon, but as usual all 3 spent most of their time indoors with the baby chicks, ducklings and guinea pigs. My son was particularly keen on getting down to eye level with all the animals he was feeding and having…
Twittering from Paris – care to follow?
I have not really got into the habit of Twittering yet, as my normal routine would be so un-thrilling I doubt it would merit much of Twitter-value. However, as I leave for Paris tomorrow, it seems like as good a time as any for some concerted Twitter-ing. If you are even remotely interested, you can…
My Morning Sunshine
My son is such a morning person, so full of energy and smiles, even first thing in the morning. This is the face that greets me each day. How can a mother resist a face like that?!! As January is now complete, I have both my layout for last week, and my month’s summary to…

Day 23 – He’s Not Home for Christmas Anymore!
A lot of sad faces in our house tonight, poor George, our ginger cat, will be spending his Christmas with the vet. And his Christmas Day present will probably be the relief of being catheterised again! Poor thing still having problems, but in the best place. Also, in comparison to some really big issues facing…
Bonjour – House Swapping in France, Day 1
And so begins our 4th house swap adventure, and our first to France. You can read about previous home exchanges to Dublin, Boston and Galway previously on my blog. This time we are staying on the edge of a beautiful medieval hilltop town about 90 minutes north east of Paris. For the first time we…

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 Digital Scrapping Layout, a Hybrid Gift and a Card
Blog posts may become noticeably shorter and succinct for the next 6 weeks, as I have just agreed to undertake a very large order for my digital scrapping for others over at my JM Digital Designs. It is wonderful to have so much business, but it will certainly curtail some of my other activites. So…
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…
Photogaphy course continued, and celebrations
Much to my disappointment, both the photo courses I have been on are coming to an end. I’ll miss the new challenges, getting out of the house every Tuesday evening (!), and having a steady stream of topics and photos for my blog! Here are a few photos taken for the challenge categories of Monotone…
A touristy morning in Belfast
Not one photo of the day but five! Our friend arrived this morning from Bristol, and we headed into Belfast to see some of the sights. We went first to Victoria Square, and it was a beautiful clear day with great views of the Belfast skyline from the Dome at the top of the shopping…



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,
