The Gallery….
I'll be honest, this weeks Gallery prompt was my worst nightmare initially, until I read Tara's post about why she had chosen that subject. I hate having my photo taken and I can count on one hand the number of pictures we have of all us together, I'm usually on the other side of the lens, but like Tara says, what if my children look back at the hundreds (probably thousands ;-)) of pictures of their childhood and wonder where I am.They don't look at photo's and say 'Oooh what a horrible photo of mammy' they look at the photo and see the person they love, who loves them more than anything … [Read more...]
Making Memories….
Did you know that it's National Family week between the 31st May and the 6th June? Apparently the average family spends only 49 minutes a day together which is such a shame, I love spending time with the kids, whether it's doing stuff at home, going out somewhere with them or even just snuggling up together on the settee. I'm really looking forward to half term at the end of this month, which cleverly coincides with National Family Week. I should hopefully have some time off work to spend with them so we can do loads of fun stuff together. We've had a chat about what the kids want to … [Read more...]

Politically Correct Ginger Persons….
This sign made us laugh yesterday when we were out shopping ;-) I'm not sure what made me laugh most, the fact that Gingerbread Men now appear to be called Ginger Persons or the fact that we, a family of four Ginger Persons, were stood staring at the sign advertising us at the special offer price of 4 for £1.00. Inspired by this sign, we've just made our very own ginger person family.... You can make them even if you're not ginger lol. All you need to make them is: 350g plain flour 2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 100g butter or … [Read more...]
The Birds and the Bees….
I'm still a bit traumatised this morning from the question Miss Frugal asked me last night, she snuggled up on my knee on the settee, looked at me with her big blue eyes and said "Mammy, What's sexing?" I wasn't sure what to say to her, I always said I would be completely honest with her and answer any questions she has but I really wasn't expecting her to hit me with this so young. After a few seconds of gobsmackedness (is that even a word) I asked her what she thought it was and she was kind enough to demonstrate on me, her little demonstration consisted of a big kiss during … [Read more...]
