Halloween Pom Pom & Window Art

October 31, 2011 by

Here follows a post which proves I will always be a family blogger before a nice organised mummy blogger or crafting blogger – or even a business blogger. I always end up doing crafty blogs in real time so people can come and look at them a year later 😆 Last week, a collection of […]

The Tommy's Five Point Pregnancy Campaign Round Up.

October 29, 2011 by

A while ago I did a blog post about the Tommy’s Campaign promoting Healthy Pregnancy. I’ve been woefully slow getting to my round up and handing out of prizes. I’m sorry about that. I’ve been needing a little more head space and a little more down time – and I made a decision to try […]

Visitors & more Autumn & Halloween Craft Ideas

October 29, 2011 by

This week is the most social we’ve had in a long time; I invited my two nieces to stay to give my extremely pregnant sister a bit of a rest, my Dad is over from Egypt and The Porticos also visited (these days we have various schoolies and commitments and it isn’t so easy to […]

Bells, Bangs, Skulls & Potions.

October 27, 2011 by

Regrouped for our WedEd? 😉 meet this week, which was lovely in itself but made even better for me by Fran being on half term and so along with us. I do miss having her about, even if I am pleased she is doing well at school. The kids started off with a Day of […]

Various achievements & good things.

October 22, 2011 by

Last week Amelie and Fran went off to audition for dancing parts in our city panto, one of those with proper paid cast members (although not dancers!) and a dame and everything. It seemed like it would be a good experience for them to try out an audition, particularly as Fran, buoyed up by how […]

23 Weeks Pregnant.

October 21, 2011 by

Marmite is looking like making it to a major milestone, that of ‘viability’. It’s odd to be thinking like that. I never gave 24 weeks any thought with the girls and then with Freddie all I could think about was that if we got to 24 weeks and he died, at least he’d be a […]

Autumn Art

October 18, 2011 by

We are back into the swing of our art days now, which is lovely. This week we went for some simple drawing projects from Art Projects for Kids which makes for nice easy stuff to do. With Zoe and the girls we did two types of pumpkin picture, one with wax crayons and one with […]

Hama Bead Designs for Autumn

October 16, 2011 by

From time to time me and the girls get creative and start making pretty things with Hama Beads again. This is a good time of year for spooky and autumnal designs, so we’ve been beading merrily over the last few days. The girls had fun making things, most of which I still need to take […]

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables

October 15, 2011 by

There can be few images of loss in literature more potent than that of the empty stool shown to Scrooge in the Cratchit house after Tiny Tim has died. There are few images more powerful in a film than that of Dumbo’s mother as she is torn from her child and left without him. It’s […]
