Slowly Does It - Guest Post

We have been very unlucky with appliances recently. Within the last month the dishwasher, the oven, the television and the glass on the fire have all broken. We have been without an oven for about a week and the new one is not being delivered for another week. Luckily we have a slow cooker and my husband is the slow cooker king! He loves throwing in random vegetables and some meat and seeing what happens. 9 times out of 10 [click here to read on]

Paper Dolls

I love books! My husband on the other hand had never read a book before he met me. Apart from the ones that he was forced to read at school. Don’t worry, I have now converted him! Luckily Bob gets her love of books from me. Her Daddy asked her the other day if she preferred books pr television and she said books. I was so proud! She loves being read to and she now loves to read to us. [click here to read on]

Me & Mine - A Family Portrait Project

Bob is better at taking photographs than I am! We have just returned from an impromptu mini break. Michael was going away for a conference and, at the last minute, Bob and I decided to go with him. I had planned to take my Me & Mine photo whilst we were there but Michael was very busy. On the day that we were leaving I gathered the troops on the enormous hotel bed. Michael was feeling a little worse for [click here to read on]

Bob had not been her usual self for a couple of days and she had a slight temperature. i thought that it was just a bug and turned to Calpol & ibuprofen for help. Then, the other night when I was putting Bob to bed when she started grabbing the side of her head and screaming, ‘Ow! Ow! Ow!’ Michael had mentioned that she had bumped the side of her head early that day so I thought that it may [click here to read on]

A Romantic Meal For 3

Before Bob came along my husband and I loved to go out for a nice meal. Now, romantic meals are a thing of the past. We do take Bob out for dinner occasionally but the situation can be quite stressful and not very relaxing. We tend to choose to have a nice meal at home or an indoor picnic. We have just been away for a few days as my husband was at a conference and Bob and I decided [click here to read on]

My Dream Studio

As you probably know I love taking photographs! I love photographing Bob and I have also started photographing my friend’s children and children of friend’s of friends. I am constantly on the lookout for new props and backdrops. My spare room has been taken over and there is photography related things everywhere. I am obsessed with backdrops and I have even had a go at making one. I used my plain white vinyl backdrop and covered it with golden snowflakes. [click here to read on]

Fate

A few weeks ago we lost an important member of our family. Our dishwasher! It was a close friend of mine and it helped me a lot around the house. We have had it for many years and we used it constantly. When I realised that it was leaking I was heartbroken. I knew that it was going to be missed! I believe in fate. My husband and I met in a town that I had never visited before on [click here to read on]
