Tweet I don’t tend to wear many colourful clothes. Mostly I live in black, grey or brown. Especially for work. However, I love wearing stupid colourful socks inside my boots. Knowing I have them on makes me feel less grown up and sensible while I teach my lessons and do grown up stuff like buying [...]
Tweet Seven years ago, way back when we spent our Friday nights out with friends and our Saturdays finding hangover cures, my boyfriend gave me this bracelet for my birthday. He is awesome at choosing jewellery. It is simple, yet different and I love it. Always have. It rarely leaves my right arm. If I do [...]
Tweet This winter has been one of the worst in the UK for years. Apparently. This last week we have had the biggest snowfall since 1982. In our garden we had about four inches. I know in most countries where snow is a regular occurrence this is NOTHING, but here? It’s enough to shut schools and businesses [...]
Tweet 2009 – possibly my favourite year so far. Here’s to a very happy, healthy and exciting 2010. See what others made of 2009 over at I should be folding laundry
Tweet When I saw Mrs Soup’s you capture post a couple of weeks ago, I got gingerbread envy. My daughter is only 22 months old, and has never cooked before. We decided not to run before we could walk and stuck to gingerbread snowmen and christmas trees. We have not stopped eating for the last [...]
Tweet We finally put the christmas decorations up last weekend. At nearly twenty two months old, my daughter is just starting to understand that things are different at this time of year. She helped put the decorations on the tree. Because we want to help save the earth where we can, we tried having a [...]
Tweet Last Thursday I turned 16 weeks pregnant and I received my weekly email from the baby centre telling me what’s happening in my tummy. When I read that my baby was the size of an avocado, I knew what my you capture picture was going to have to be. Now I am 17 weeks and [...]
Tweet Recently I have been getting up at ridiculous o’clock EVERY day to go to the bathroom. Sorry it’s blurry, but would you look at the time? Stupid pregnancy bladder. All because of the very real, increasingly wriggly life* growing inside me. I can put up with the interrupted sleep though, because in six months [...]
Tweet When I was younger, people who were into technology were known as geeks. I was never a geek. I knew nothing about computers or anything vaguely electrical. How times have changed. Now I have absolutely NO IDEA how people lived in a world before cars, mobile phones, dishwashers, t’interweb, baby monitors. Turns out I [...]
Tweet This week’s you capture challenge was still life. As soon as I read that I had flash backs to year 9 art and a bowl of apples. I was RUBBISH at art, and my fruit bowl really isn’t that pretty. With a nineteen month old, life is rarely still. At least until nap/bed time. [...]
