Letter box photos
I’ve been learning lots on the two short photo courses I’m involved in. One of the recent challenges was to take images in and around our town and crop them down to letterbox size – so they are at least 3 times as long as they are high (or vice versa) It is amazing how…
Birthday Boy
Our son is SIX and here are six things I love about him the twinkle in his eye when he smiles his deep red orange hair (he prefers it to be called orange – wonder how long that will last!) his inquisitive mind his hugs and kisses his boundless energy his love of life Most…
A New Year!
How was your New Year’s Eve? We tend to stay in on New Years Eve with the kids, and as our daughters are teens and now stay up with us, I thought this quote by Bill Vaughan was appropriate “Youth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when…
Lessons Learned this week
Another week has passed – and it has been a busy one. On Friday a bloggy friend Kimberly Geswein (a font celebrity!) arrived for 6 days (en route to assist with bringing 2 adopted kids to US from Ukraine), and it has been lovely having her stay. On to “Lessons Learned” – this happens every…

Taste Test – Organic Chocolate – a tough job, but someone has to do it!
As a blogger you sometimes get approached to review products, host giveaways or add a link to your sidebar. Some are more relevant and enticing than others, but when offered the chance to taste test some Green and Black Organic Chocolate from their range, there was NO hesitation. When the chocolate arrived (8 large bars)…
Lessons learned in my world
Here are my lessons learned over the last two weeks Pick flowers from your garden and enjoy them inside without guilt! Our blue hydrangea was in struggling with so many heavy blooms, that I “liberated” a few, so the hydrangea itself is looking much better, as does my kitchen windowsill! Last week was known as…
Our French Home from Home – our home exchange continues
One of the top advantages of house swapping is getting to stay in a real home, not an annonymous hotel room or impersonal appartment. While I am not going to show lots of photos of our hosts’ home, here are a few of the wee things I have enjoyed about this house. The gorgeuos tiled…

What I collect
I am rather fond of collecting (as my long-suffering husband will testify to) – books – I seem to like collecting books, although I rarely read them again, as I remember too clearly what happens in them, so don’t enjoy reading them again! I am the same with watching films again – I don’t see…
Its Friday!
I read a great post on Misty Cato’s blog (see link on right) about the balance between creating artistic layouts that look beautiful and creating meaningful layouts that will be a record for prosperity. As I am just setting out on my adventure into digi-scrapping I am probably not doing either very well yet. Certainly…

Happy Father’ Day to my husband, my dad, father-in-law and all the other dad’s too!

Instead I will share something…

Review of Bananagram – fun family game
I bought this Bananagram game at Britmums Live conference in London last month for a number of reasons:
- 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?

Jungle Speed – review a great game for all the family
I was recently contacted about reviewing Jungle Speed by a toy company. Although the game was sent to me for review, the opinions are all my own (or my kids)!!! It is portable, easy to set up, relatively easy to explain to all ages, there is a bit of skill and concentration required, or you can…

How I use Instagram in these changed times and 3rd lockdown.
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how I use Instagram in these changed times and 3rd lockdown. Everyone has been impacted in different ways, and I wasn’t sure it was relevant to keep faffing with flatlays, sharing random (local) walks and chatting to you in instastories from my shed. So I reached out for…
On 29th December ……….appreciation
You might imagine this is a post appreciating Christmas, the lovely gifts and yummy food. Happy times spent with family and friends. However tonight my appreciation is for something more basic yet essential……water. The cottage was without running water for just about 36 hours but simple things like brushing your teeth or boiling the kettle…

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,
