Project 365 2017 week 5 – illness and cats
It’s week 5 of project 365 and I’ve been really rubbish with the camera. We’ve not been anywhere for weeks (no day trips or venturing out to even the park), since just after Christmas. I’d been hoping to this weekend…
The birthday interview with a 6 year old
Last year I was really impressed with N’s willingness to do one of the ‘interview with’. He even agreed to do it on camera. And for the first time I got more out of him than previously. So I had…

Project 365 2017 week 2 hot chocolate and reading books
This year feels like it’s been going on a while now, but we’re only in week 2. The weather’s been miserable and I’ve been relying on my phone camera. That’s if I even remember to take photos. I was struggling…
Round up of 2016 and looking forward to 2017
Another year is almost over and it’s time we’re all making plans for the upcoming year. I have to admit that I don’t really do resolutions…or planning goals for the year. Because I know I’m unlikely to stop biting my…
Strange breakfast combinations
In terms of his eating habits, N must be one of the strangest children out there. Well, not strange, but maybe he just has some strange likes when it comes to what he eats at different times of the day….
Happy Monday
Here’s some of the things that make me happy, and hopefully you’ll get a smile too on a happy Monday. Dancing and singing My OH always moans when I sing. But singing makes you feel good and boosts your mood….
