When I saw this weeks theme for the Gallery was colour, I thought of this picture straight away, even though I may have shared it with you before at some point in the past. My children often tell me that they love having ginger hair, they love that people come up to us in the street and tell them what beautiful hair they have and they love that not many other people in school have the same colour hair as them. At this point I could get on my soap box and tell you that I've come across some ridiculously titled facebook groups lately, the most recent of which being 'Always be yourself (unless … [Read more...]
The Gallery – A Happy Memory
I love the theme of this week's Gallery - A Happy Memory. I've just spent a lovely hour with Miss Frugal going through our photos, we're so lucky that we've managed to make so many happy memories together and we had a real problem choosing just one photo but in the end we went for this one.

All Growed Up….
I've just dropped Miss Frugal off at Brownies for the first time. She was a bit nervous about going and she held my hand extra tight at first. Then her eyes lit up as she saw a little girl she knew and she went running off to play without looking back. Master Frugal summed it up perfectly - 'She's all growed up now mam, isn't she?'I've written this as part of this weeks Gallery which is all about children this week. For more information about the Gallery, pop over to Stick Fingers and find out all about it. … [Read more...]
