Children & Mobile Phones

When I was growing up things were so much simpler. If I wanted to play out I would know what time I needed to be home by and I would go home then. If there was anything I needed or wanted I would pop back home. Now things are complicated! It is my nephew’s 12th birthday today and if he goes to play out he takes his phone so that he is able to negotiate a time to come home [click here to read on]

Fairy Scrolls

On Saturday the 24th of May we had a Woodland Fairy Party to celebrate Bob’s 3rd birthday. I still can’t believe that my baby girl is 3! My friend Emily took lots of photos at the party, watch this space. I also have lots of party planning posts that I have been saving so that I didn’t spoil things for our guests that I can now share with you. Invitations It think that an invitation should set the theme of [click here to read on]

Review - My Book For Mac

I love my photographs and, until recently, I never took good enough care of them. They were all on my computer and could have easily been lost. When Tesco Compare home insurance asked if I would like to review a hard drive I was happy to be given a reason to back up all my precious memories! As I am not the most technical person, I asked my husband to review the device for me. It turns out it was [click here to read on]

Now You Are 3

My baby girl is 3 today! I can’t believe how quickly the last 3 years have gone! She is no longer a baby. She is now a beautiful little girl!

A Pink Castle

The other day Bob decided she would like to make a pink castle so we did. It took me a few minutes to work out how we could make it without any special pink castle building products but we managed it. Then, when we were out shopping, Bob saw a little crafting kit which you could make a foam castle out of. We couldn’t resist making another one! If only it was big enough for us to live in!

Ladybirds & Strawberry Flowers

Over the last few days I have been covered in icing! I’ve been making many icing creations for Bob’s 3rd birthday party.

I am going to bake 2 kinds of cupcakes, chocolate ones with chocolate buttercream and plain ones topped with jam and [click here to read on]

Photos From Our Road Trip & Peace Of Mind

It may come as no surprise that I love my camera! I regularly have it with me and I love the photos that it allows me to capture. That said, sometimes my camera is not convenient. When Bob was in her pushchair I would take it everywhere! Now that I have to carry things I have to think about whether I really need it. I regularly misjudge this and I have lost count of the amount of times that I [click here to read on]
