It would appear that although I have been busy sorting and organising recently, cleaning has taken a bit of a back seat. Today it was time to address that issue especially as we were having friends over after school. A 'To Do' list was definitely required. I find I work much better when I have a list of tasks, and...

A little while ago Ali Edwards showed a beautiful layout on her blog featuring a full width photo, some twill and an embellishment cluster. I love the impact that a full width photo has on a layout and have made a couple before. As often happens with Ali's blog, I was inspired to go and create. I decided to use... Read more →

As promised, this is my completed December Daily 2009. Whilst I don't want to bore you with lots of photos I feel that I missed telling you about the build up to our Christmas due to my lack of blogging. So please forgive me for indulging a little in Christmas past. The album measures 6 x 6 inches and is... Read more →

Matthew was looking forward to his friend Anna (he is very keen on her and she apparently has pretend sleepovers with Matthew!) is coming to play on Friday afternoon. The boys were looking forward...

We considered a Toyota Auris and a VW Golf, but my heart wanted a Beetle. One day, a couple of weeks ago Jeff came home from work... Read more →

Wow, one month has passed since I last updated my blog. It's been a busy time. We went on holiday to Majorca, had Jeff's parents over to stay, I've had 5 fairs, Matthew has lost another two teeth and Halloween has been and gone. We stayed in a lovely part of Majorca called Puerto Pollensa, which has a very pretty... Read more →

I've been meaning to blog before now but yet again I seem to have been so busy that I just haven't got around to it. Then today whilst I ate my lunch I read Ali Edwards blog, she had done this 'For Today' post. Well that was just what I needed to jump start a quick post. Outside my window...... Read more →

This is me this morning, sitting in the warm sunshine in our front garden with a coffee, the boys playing and me reading the next book in the Twilight series; New Moon. I started it friday night at 11pm, right after Jeff had gone to bed, I was up until 1:30am reading and now I am over 2/3rd's through it.... Read more →

It's been a busy week what with getting back into the swing of school life, especially with Callum starting too. He got through his first week with no tears and each day when he came out he excitedly showed me the new book he'd chosen. I'm looking forward to next week when he will go in the mornings for 3...
