DOBBLE – fun family game review
From time to time as I blogger I have the opportunity to review products. I don’t always take up these offers, but this is one I was very glad I did. All the opinions are my own (or my kids) – I was not paid for this review, just sent the game to try out with…
Project 365 continues HERE
I have made the decision to post my daily photos here for Project 365, instead of on my separate Project 365 blog so here is a catch-up of what you have missed so far. If you have previously had my photo blog on your blog roll, I hope you will amend it to this blog…
February Dawn and there’s more to "There’s More"!

Another Bedroom Makeover
Last week I shared our eldest daughter’s bedroom makeover. Our younger daughter requested that I share her new room too. Her birthday present was a makeover of her bedroom, and as we still had the wallpaper that had been there since we bought the house 10 years ago, we let her choose some paint too….
An Irish Linen Scrim – a Show and Tell
In my search for some appropriate Irish-themed prizes for the St Patricks Blogging Carnival (I did mention that before – just a few times!) I came across this piece of natural (un-bleached) linen. It was quite a large piece, and at first I thought it might be a table centre piece. I love linen in…

A Year of Digital Scrapbooking – a review and some thankyous.

On the 9th of December…it wouldn’t be Christmas without M&S
Today I met my Mum at Marksies (aka M&S or Marks and Spencers) to do some Christmas shopping. I don’t do my regular food shop in M&S but it is lovely for a treat. After lunch we headed into the food section for the inevitable crowded aisles and to pick up some of those Christmas…

It’s Birthday Time
As a child I hated having a birthday during the school summer holidays, as my friends always seemed to be away, and by the time we got back to school my birthday seemed a distant memory. There was one advantage though – you were never subjected to “the bumps”. Did you have the bumps as…
May the Lord Bless You and Keep You
This layout I have made for a church friend who is facing a tough time ahead with hospital treatment over in London. Her faith and strength has been an inspiration to many of us – and I want to assure her and her family of our prayers. This is her two beautiful children:Situations like this…
Been quiet for a few days as my father-in-law has been ill and died in hospital this morning. This bible verse brings us comfort…..Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”John 16:22

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?

Ok, will start with the important stuff – an update on George.

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,
