Sometimes, when things don't go to plan or I'm feeling a bit down, I think that the best thing way to deal with things is to look at the things that have happened in my day to make me even just a little bit happy - because just like the supermarket (can't remember which), it all adds up!The smallest things have been making me smile recently so I wanted to share them with you - flowers in a muddy field, smiles, squeals, cake and even a bath!And while we're on the subject of looking for happy things, have you seen the lovely shiny new Embrace Happy site that Karin … [Read more...]
My favourite way to spend a Sunday afternoon – Movies and homemade popcorn….
I love Sunday afternoons lazing on the settee with a bowl of homemade popcorn watching a film with the kids - even more so now that they're a little bit older and want to watch films that I actually have a chance of enjoying with them!Homemade popcorn tastes much nicer than the shop bought bags of it and you don't need anything special to make it with other than a pan with a lid. I did consider buying a popcorn maker at one point as they're not overly expensive and I imagine that they make the process even easier but to be fair, it's not difficult anyway so there's no point going out … [Read more...]
The results of my handwriting analysis….
Remember a few weeks ago when I shared my love of post-it notes with you?Well one of the notes was sent away to a handwriting analyst for them to analyse what my handwriting would tell them about me.If I'm honest, I half expected it would come back with something along the lines of me being lonely and desperate seeing as I was trying to use the promise of popcorn to bribe my 11 year old to watch a film with me but actually, it's much more in-depth than that. “You try hard to be a dependable person, and when you give your word you will try to stick to it. Whether at home or at … [Read more...]
Siblings – April….
Did you know that it was National Siblings day last Thursday? No. Me neither ;-) I've started to really look forward to writing my monthly Siblings post - as I mentioned last month, it really helps me to focus more on the good times rather than the little arguments that they regularly have. I really recommend taking part in this linky if you're a blogger and if you're not, you could do something yourself. Even if it's just a quick collage on Picmonkey or similar of your favourite sibling moments from each … [Read more...]
Quick update on our search for a Knitting Nana….
Remember a few weeks ago when I wrote about our search for a knitting Nana to help Miss Frugal with her knitting?Well, we haven't found one yet but she did manage to finish the special blanket she was trying to make:It's not as neat as she was hoping for and she was hoping to have more squares of the multi coloured wool so it would be like a chequer board effect but still, it's gorgeous and she did it all herself.Now on to her next project....#ProudMum … [Read more...]
Our favourite ways to have after school fun without spending a penny….
I love this time of year.The lighter nights and nicer weather give us the chance to do lots of things after school that we can't do over the Winter without needing a hot chocolate and blanket to thaw us out when we get home! We try and do something every night when the weather's nice and although I don't plan ahead very much or have a daily schedule, I do have a rough idea of the things we'll be doing for the week ahead.To give you an idea, this is what we did last week after school each day:1. Monday: We went to the park for an hour although because we're lucky enough to … [Read more...]
