Weekly Winners… The Muski Edition.

Just one or two photos to share this week - and all of the small boy. It’s not that my girls are not just as gorgeous as Muski, it’s just that they’ve recently taken a great dislike to my camera. Every time I try to take their photo I get either screams and moans or […]

The Kitchen Dare.

The every wonderful Mary over at Rhubarb Rhubarb is not only the owner of a lovely new child proof gate, she is also the kitchen darer! Mary has dared is to show off our kitchens, our real kitchens, you know, before you tidy them up so you can take a photo for your blog… your […]

Shopping Frenzy.

The kids and I hit the shops the other day. Hopefully it was the one and only time we have to go near the big shopping centre until well after Christmas. It was a long but very successful day, we managed to get most of the things we needed to take on holidays as well […]

Wordless Wednesday - The Toothless Nutbag Edition.

The Jam Wars…

I had grand plans today.
I was going to turn this…

into lovely, glorious, home made strawberry jam, but the Goddess of Jam (I am sure there is such a woman and I am sure she has PMS right now) had other ideas. I should have known better really, my last attempt at jam ended in diaster […]
