1. A day at Squerryes tasting their new Sparkling. There's still time to get tickets to the Squerryes Celebration on 20th and 21st June to taste it- and the amazing Westerham Brewery Beers, yourself. 2. Dimples and I picked up five new chooks: Kiev, Katsu, Korma, Cassie and Popcorn. 3. Lego with breakfast: Daddy returns from a week away at work with gifts! 4. We take a trip to Riverhill Gardens to check out the birthday party … [Read more...]
April 2014
I've been taking a photo a day- Project 365- again this year, though publishing them in one-month-chunks. This is what April looks like. 1. Finally our Frozen DVD arrives! 2. One plait, one bunch. Never one to walk the path well-trodden, my little Dimpled One. 3. A well-loved, well-used apron. Given to me a long time ago by people who knew me better than I know myself. Domestic Goddess. 4. A trip to London to see the Vikings … [Read more...]
February 2014
1. DH and I go to the wedding of a good friend. Without the children. Overnight. 2. Back home we plant a few (dozen) trees. The Girls stage sword fights with the supporting canes. 3. The wonder Hound gets a tennis ball stuck in my boot. I may have laughed for a good ten minutes watching her trying to reacquire it. 4. She fell asleep in Daddy's office. Little sister fell asleep next to me in the sitting room. Why … [Read more...]
The Week That Was 49
Monday: which seems like a very long time ago now, was a usual kind of Monday. Dimples was extraordinarily tired and ended up sleeping all the way through my shopping experience, waking only as I popped her in the car for the school run. I did get to eat my lunch in peace though so there's a silver lining! The sunset after I picked up LBG was divine: we spotted colours all the way home, and finally decorated our Christmas Tree. It lights up our … [Read more...]
five ways to set your Instagrams free!
I recently mentioned that I am a bit Mamarazzi when it comes to taking pictures of my children. The thing is that with the advent of digital photography, all those images seem to remain on my phone or Dropbox and I do nothing with them. Christmas is a perfect time to really make full advantage of the pictures you take using the Instagram App so I've been having a look around at what you can do with your pictures: here are five ways to set your … [Read more...]
The Week That Was: Week 47
I saw a post this week that made me giggle- someone suggested the term "Mamarazzi" for a Mamma/Mum/Mother who takes pictures of their offspring ALL. THE. TIME. Which kind of sums me up. I don't know what portion of my instagramming is the blog, or conditioned as result of doing 366 last year, but the post reminded me that I love it. I love chronicling all the fun, odd and downright humdrum stuff that we get up to. I love seeing how much the … [Read more...]
The last weeks of 2012: 366 update
It all got a bit hairy after term ended, with activities and illness and packing. So rather than writing it down, I'll let the pictures do that talking. This is what we did between December 16th and 31st 2012. And the last two days of the year: … [Read more...]
