When I saw that the theme for this week's Gallery was emotion, I decided to go through my photos and make a little collage showing my favourite emotion - Happy ;-)I'm generally a very happy, positive type of person and I really believe that life is too short to be sad for long or to worry about things you have no control over. I spend a lot of time making sure that my children have a happy childhood and we have a lot of happy smiley photos showing fun times that we've had. I found so many photos and even got as far as putting them together in a pretty collage in Picmonkey and then I came … [Read more...]
Saturday is Caption Day – The one with the awkward holiday dance….
I love Saturday mornings as I usually get up early while the kids are still in bed and spend a lovely half an hour or so looking through photos to find a suitable one to use for Saturday is Caption Day. You can never have too many photos but seriously, I must have tens of thousands and I always find one that I'd forgotten about that makes me smile.I love this one and I can't wait to read your captions to go with it....Sa … [Read more...]
Proud to be British….
In the last fortnight I've found myself watching sports I've never even watched before, let alone enjoyed. I've stood and screamed at the TV, willing Team GB to do well and I've sat on the floor and cried big happy tears when one of Team GB has done well.I was especially excited when we found out that we have our very own gold postbox about twenty minutes drive from our house after Kat Copeland won Gold in the Women's Double Scull race and we couldn't wait to go see it.The picture's not very good as we had to be quick due to the rain and the rather long queue of people wanting to see … [Read more...]
Saturday is Caption Day – The one where we get lost….
If you're looking for something to do with the kids that won't cost you the earth, you should see if any of your local parks or museums have an orienteering course you can do together. We found a free one in the HUGE grounds of a local museum and had a great couple of hours getting lost completing the course. Now, seeing as this is Saturday and Saturday is Caption Day, in exchange for that great money saving idea you have to give me a caption to go with my photo ;-) … [Read more...]
Just punch him, that’ll stop him….
As a parent, I want my children to grow up knowing that violence in any form is not a solution to anything.I try to teach them that if someone hurts them, it doesn't make it acceptable to hurt them back - they should be the better person and walk away. If that doesn't work, they should tell a grown up.I know that's much easier said than done when you're nine and seven and it doesn't always happen that way but it's the way I expect them to behave.So can you imagine how annoyed I was at the local soft play centre the other day when a little boy kept throwing things at Master Frugal. … [Read more...]
