Why 4? Here's why... The other morning I was putting cream on Callum and I said to him "I need to put cream on your forehead". He replied "Four heads? I've only got one!" Last weekend the four of us went to the driving range. Matthew with his child sized golf clubs and Callum with his plastic set. We got... Read more →

My blogging may have been poor over the summer, but thankfully my scrapping hasn't been as infrequent! Loving this super cool hobby and I can only imagine I'll get even more done now that Callum is at pre-school for 5 sessions a week. I will of course get more housework done too! The above page is one of my all... Read more →

...back to school for Matthew and pre-school for Callum. AND my 1st day (well morning) alone in the house. As I type this they are both away and the house in empty and quiet. Well almost quiet except for the sound of the washing machine and the dishwasher doing their 'thing' downstairs and the hum of the computer and the... Read more →

I cannot believe that the summer holidays are almost over, where has the time gone? Infact where did the sun go? It's not only the weather that has been rubbish this summer, my blogging has been rubbish too - apologies. I haven't blogged about Matthew's last day of school, Callum's 3rd birthday, recent scrapbooking or the great time we had... Read more →

Since returning from our summer holiday to stay with Jeff's family in Northern Ireland, we have been busy building (thanks Dad for all your help!) ... painting (overlooked by Chloe the cat!)... adding the finishing touches... and playing in this cute little (ok, not so little) playhouse. My sewing machine and I have been hard at work making 4 pairs... Read more →

We had planned a trip to Legoland with our friends and their kids for a while. But as our luck would have it Matthew woke up and was sick several times in the early hours before we were due to go. Well, needless to say that meant we had to cancel our trip, much to everyones disappointment including Matthew. So... Read more →

Oh my goodness, where does the time go? Here's what we've been up to since I last posted. Apologies, this is a very, very long post! Callum got his hair cut, this is only his 3rd 'barbers' haircut in nearly three years! Matthew had his School 'Potted' Sports Day - a variation on the normal sports day where the children...

At last a very large inherited wardrobe which was leaning and falling apart in our bedroom (the shelves in one part had already collapsed) has been replaced by two lovely pine wardrobes from Pinetum; one for Jeff and one for me. I should clarify that when I say 'inherited' I mean it came with the house, not from a loved... Read more →

...that we were on holiday, again not enough time in the day to do everything and blogging has come a long way down the list of late. Anyhow, we had a lovely holiday in Northern Ireland, thanks Hilda and Denis for having us to stay. So good to spend time with family and friends - we miss you all! Here's... Read more →

Must be great to be a kid and have lots of birthday parties. We had another one for Matthew on Sunday for his and our friends from my ante-natal group when I was expecting Matthew. We lived in Surrey then and we still keep in contact, meeting up when we can. It's been a pretty busy social life recently because... Read more →
