Project 365 2015 – photo a day week 6
We’re back with Project 365, and it’s been a bit of a rubbish week photo wise. I’m behind with both of my photography courses I’m doing, and I’ve not had my camera out much to practice. But I have managed…

Everything we get up to – activities, learning and play
Swimming with Mums or Dads
Following on from my post about Dads and family photographs, I’ve been thinking about swimming as well. In our swimming lessons, there’s quite often more Dads than Mums in the water, mainly because it’s a Saturday, and it seems to…
Family photography – dads avoiding pictures
I’ve never been keen on having my photo taken, being a shy child, and until having N just not liking it especially when I’m not at my fit healthy self. The inbetween stage of 6th form and uni (pre-digital cameras…

Exploring Chinese New Year with Weekend Box
I’m a bit of a slack crafter. I love doing crafts (cards, jewellery, crochet) but actually getting something out and thinking of it from scratch isn’t my forte. As for children’s crafts? Well, let’s just say that Weekend Boxes come…
New swimming strokes and butterfly legs
It was such a long time ago now I don’t really remember anything about learning to swim myself. I remember going to the leisure centre at primary school and learning crawl and back stroke but that was it. I never…
Project 365 2015 – photo a day week 5

Rediscovering the crochet habit…again
I can’t remember how long ago it was that my Grandma taught me to knit and my mum taught me to crochet. The former must have been 30 odd years ago, and the latter probably 25 years. And apart from…
Farming toys and nature or nuture?
Obviously, living on a farm means that N is obsessed with farms. He watches Tractor Ted, knows more than me about different farming vehicles and what they do (admittedly not hard), and is gradually building up his collection of farming…
Little Snappers books – review and giveaway
Last year we did the 300 picture books challenge and managed to complete it in May or June, reading 300 different picture books. I can’t say the same for my own personal challenge, it was a seriously poor showing and…
Project 365 2015 – photo a day week 4
We’re into week 4 of Project 365 and almost the other side of January. My pictures are largely themed around food thanks to starting my diet and healthy eating this week, and it being N’s 4th birthday. Sunday we visited…

Music to my ears – independent boutiques brought together by Streethub
*Ad – gifted As I’ve often said, I’m trying to build up a collection of instruments for N, and engage him to have an interest or at least understanding of different types of music. So when I had the opportunity…
