Special Days
Sophie’s 5th Birthday Party with Harry the Clown!
Sophie waited eagerly on the driveway for each guest to arrive. She was the hostess with the mostess, dressed in her Cinderella gown from her Grandparents (the same one that Charlotte chose to wear for her 5th Birthday Party!). Sophie and Charlotte had everything running to a tee. The adults were simply accessories to take […]
The morning before the party.
It’s always a crazy time before a party – especially one at home. Even though the house always needs a complete clean after the party, there is the need to start the party with a presentable home. As I dashed around with the hoover on the morning of the party I couldn’t help but think […]
Crazy, Pink, Psychedelic Gingerbread Fairy House!
Last Christmas we made and built a gingerbread house, which was quickly devoured with friends on Christmas Day. Gingerbread house, 2009: This year, with Sophie’s Birthday Party a week before Christmas (actual Birthday Boxing Day!), she decided a ‘pink’, fairy gingerbread house would be the perfect way to celebrate her Birthday. Unfortunately I didn’t make […]
Guy Fawkes in Welly went ahead!
It was a scorcher of a day and then… the clouds rolled in about 7pm. With the big Guy Fawkes show scheduled for night fall at 9pm it looked like a wild southerly was going to jeopardize the fireworks – but no – they went ahead! Not that we saw them – we were all […]
Happy Beltane & Samhain
To all our family and friends, north and south, we wish you very happy greetings of the season. Gather the harvest in the north and plant the seedlings in the south. Love & light x These little ghosties took over my kitchen middle of last week… And after Alice’s nap this morning I came downstairs […]
The loveable sevens
Charlotte you are seven! It always seemed a magic number to me and numerologists believe it is… ‘Sevens deal with esoteric, scholarly aspects of magic. Representative of scholarly activities, mystery, and the focused search for esoteric meanings. Seven deals with the activation of imagination and manifesting results in our lives through the use of conscious […]
Alvin!!!!! Movie Birthday Party for Charlotte
Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 was in the house Saturday night for Charlotte’s 7th Birthday celebrations! The countdown for the movie party started days before. Fairy lights twinkled away the mid-winter gloom and balloons were strung up north, south, east and west. Goodie bags stocked, balloons stuffed with lollies and attached to elastic bands for […]
The day Alice arrived
11pm: ‘I think we should go now,’ I said, not really wanting to leave the comfort of my bed. The hospital was only a short distance away but I didn’t want to be in the car when the contractions got to the crawling on the floor stage. They had been coming all day. Not painful, […]
Beautiful Birthday
I try to ignore the day approaching on the calendar. I tell myself, ‘It’s just another year, no big deal.’ I don’t want the fuss and fanfare. I’d rather organise my children’s Birthdays and watch the smiles on their faces (so long as they are well behaved and very grateful for all my hard work!). […]
An early start to Easter
The clocks rolled back an hour whilst we slept and brought an early start to Easter Sunday. Charli was first awake, wombling into our bedroom at what would have been 7am, but was now a sharp 6am. “Can I go hunting for eggs in the garden?” she excitedely asked. It was dark, she was wearing […]
There’s a Birthday in the house!
But it’s not baby. Looks like Dan has his special day safely to himself – unless I have a very sudden surprise within the next hour! He went in late this morning so he could enjoy opening his pressies and came home a little early for a Birthday tea laden with sugar treats, which the […]
They’ve arrived!
Monday morning and we woke to fog. We were full of excitement at greeting Grandma and Granddad off their flight… but delays were to be expected. Thankfully, we only had to wait an hour and the fog lifted to reveal an absolute pearler of a day. It’s been two, long year’s since we last saw […]
The sun sets on 2009
As the year draws to a close we pause to reflect on what has been and what is to come. New Year’s Eve is filled with emotions of the past and hope for the future. 2009 has been kind to our family and we are hoping 2010 blesses us with the safe arrival of our […]
