OK, really quick post as Jeff's downstairs and the boys are kicking off over a Pingu DVD. Here's a layout I made earlier whilst Callum had his afternoon sleep about Valentines day. That's it, see you later and I promise no more valentine related blogs! (Oh and Janine this is not what I was referring to in my e-mail, that... Read more →

What a great day! Jeff had taken the day off and we had a lovely time together. I received not just one, but two beautiful bunches of flowers. We managed to have a romantic lunch together, just the two of us. Matthew had been dropped off at pre-school for 12:30pm and Callum had fallen asleep in car on the way... Read more →

It is nearly two years since we left Surrey and moved to Dorset, where has the time gone? It has also been nearly two years since I've had a night out with the girls in Surrey. No kids, no babies on the way, just us girls, some food and a fair amount of wine! So good to catch up with... Read more →

In response to Janine's comment about my post Good Times, see below... "LOVE this layout Jo! So cool to see someone else do a... Read more →

Yesterday's good mood left me feeling inspired and creative, so whilst typepad was down last night I started my second layout of the day. Had some great photos of Callum and I playing a few weeks ago and they were just begging to be put onto a layout. I had also bought some paper over the internet that looked like... Read more →

Infact it didn't even start that bad, I was just woken up this morning by Callum crying, which is what happens every... Read more →

Matthew's pre-school are producing a Kids Recipe Book in time for Easter and parents have been asked to supply favourite recipes. I thought that we'd send in the Smartie Cookie recipe. Matthew and I have just baked a batch, had to make sure that the quantities were all correct before submitting it! Thought that I may as well share it... Read more →

Having received a mini book about my sons for my Birthday from Janine, I was inspired and decided that I would make a mini book for family birthdays. So in January I made a mini book for my Father-in-Law about his Grandson's and another for my sister Janet about her Nephews. I started and completed yesterday and gave to her... Read more →

Callum is 18 months old now and is really trying to communicate with words. One of his favourite things to do is to play with "daydough" - playdough. He will grab your finger,say daydough and forcibly pull you to the cupboard where it is kept, believe me this boy is strong! Just yesterday he said "house" (in a scottish kind... Read more →

If you've seen Ice Age you'll get me, if you haven't then you'll think I'm completely mad. Well imagine a saber toothed tiger playing peek-a-boo with a baby, pretty scary for the baby! Matthew is obsessed with Ice Age and it's follow on The Meltdown, he will watch it at least once a day and has done since the beginning... Read more →
