Of a not very still life. This was the scene of the top of my fridge this evening and there seemed something so “home educating family with 4 girls”ish about it, that i wanted the photo; ballet school, tap shoes, cheque books, car keys, fruit still in its net bag, fish in a vase in […]

My house is clean and tidy from top to bottom and i hardly did any of it. Gosh that makes me feel so good 🙂 I love Lucy 🙂 I am just SO much less stressed now, it makes such a difference. There is just a layer of general crud being slowly lifted away from […]

Oh well, friendly rivalry and all that. She got the hang of vertical multiplication pretty easily anyway […]

On Monday i sourced a load of ridiculously cheap small boxes; it was only an extra £1 to get another 50 and i’m ever so glad i did because not only are they the perfect size for a very typical and difficult to pack regular order, but they also make the perfect box to divide […]
