With this week’s photography lesson being all about nature, and then popping over to my mum’s house for a visit, it seemed clear that I needed to have a poke around her garden and take some photos… It was lovely to see so many signs of new flowers coming through, though everywhere was a little …
So I now have under my belt, my beginner’s tips, and lessons on perspective and light. I think I’m starting to get a feel for it, and I’m certainly really enjoying it, so it’s time for a lesson in a favourite photography subject of mine, nature. And it’s over to the lovely Charly, atPODCast grappling …
Little Man has created his very first masterpiece! Yes, it was time to set him free with paints (when I say free, I mean strapped into his highchair, which I’d covered with a bin bag, and wrapped up in a huge coverall that fits his sister!), and he was excited! It was lovely to see …
Voting opens today for the MAD (Mum and Dad) Blog Awards, in association with Parentdish. As a relatively new blogger, I wasn’t around paying attention to this last year, but I am now! I read and delight in so many blogs, that I will definitely be getting involved. Apparently, last year there were 150,000 nominations, …
This month, Boo is 4 years and 4 months, and Little Man has just turned 17 months. They play with each other so well – lots of giggling and squealing, and I love watching him delightedly toddle after his big sister when she beckons him to play. First thing in the morning, they want to …
This is a collaborative post The Husband had Monday off, to have a nice long weekend, and to make up for family-time lost as he was out much of the Saturday playing golf. So when Little Man had his nap, Boo decided she wanted a little one on one time with Daddy and requested a …
I like to blog. I post regularly and my brain seems to be over-run with ideas. But this hasn’t always been the case, and I’m quite sure that I’ll hit a wall again at some point in the future, so I have a few methods that help me get back on track when that happens. …

In amongst all of the rain that we’ve been having lately, we had a dry day forecast on Sunday so we decided to take advantage of our National Trust membership and get out and about. We went to Croome Park, in Worcestershire. A huge estate to ramble around… And as it was windy, Boo loved …
Thanks to all of those linking up again last week, and for your patience with the linky playing up for some of you, too. I’m keeping everything crossed that it’ll be OK for this week…! My Word of the Week is: Yes, yes, the pig. You know her?! I could have had colds or snot, …
I bought Little Man a Bizzy Bear book for Christmas, Bizzy Bear: Pirate Adventure . I was drawn to it, as it has chunky sliders to push and pull, and he loves things like this but invariably rips them, but he cannot with these ones – they are very chunky! I’m pleased to say that …
I’ve been out in the garden a bit this past week, grabbing the few moments when it was actually dry to have a nose about at what’s been happening. I’ve been pleased to find that amongst the plants dying down and berries dropping, there are also signs of new life emerging, which has me thinking …
We popped over to Ikea the other day, and while there, decided to buy the kids a play tent. Boo has always liked playing in them, so I knew it’d be a hit with her, and hoped it might entertain Little Man, too, for longer than 5 minutes… It does! He was in and out, …
Week 3 of my photography lessons already! I’ve taken on board the beginner’s tips, played around with perspectives, so now it’s all about understanding light, thanks to Sarah from A Party Of Seven… As a mummy you want to always see your kids in the right light!! Well as a photographer you want to do …
As I mentioned in Operation Makeover, we’re looking to make a few changes around the house, breathing a little new life into each room, throughout the course of the year. So, as the husband had a day off, we though it’d be useful to pop over to a local retail park and check out Next …
