From Rich & Ella in Australia, a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. Remembering Freddie on his birthday. I also made a picture to send to StillLife 365. I’m very grateful to Angie for featuring it on his birthday. Fran wrote about him too. Angela lit a candle for him… thank you. So did Cara; […]
April 1st
Really and truly, this is an infill post since I was too sad to post on April 1st. But it is here to signify that I am taking part in NaBloPoMo, which is possibly the funniest and silliest thing I know of. Since funny and silly seem like good ingredients to add to April 2011, […]
Learning Through Play – any other way?
Play seems to mean a multitude of different things. It means something a child does that keeps them out of their parents hair, something children do together, sometimes it means a game inside, or a game outside; to me, as a child, playing usually meant being alone, deeply engrossed in a game from my imagination […]
Proof of the Blogging is in the Shopping
Local Bought Food, a photo by Merrily Me on Flickr. This week we had our basic food shop delivered, minus meat, bread and fruit and veg. We plan to use a partnership based supermarket for this eventually, and top up with Co-op, but this was a good start and changing too many things in one […]
Something
We’ve made some plans for the weekend now, I’m really hoping the weather will improve and cheer up again after being so nice for the last few days. I’m hoping it will be happy, and dignified, and I won’t cry too much and the kids will get it and feel some sense of completion from […]
Out and About
In conversation with friends the other day, I realised I have become a bit of a recluse in some way, possibly a little bit pathetically so. It isn’t that we don’t go out, we do – we see plenty of people and the girls do everything they should and want to – but I’ve stopped […]
Of course…
The good thing about days when there isn’t a social media site in my repertoire of places to lurk that isn’t filled with birth announcements, references to babies or pictures of them, is that I can shut them all, talk to my children, do things, make things, knit, read, catch up on housework, do my […]
One week until 11 days until 2 weeks until forever.
I’ve tried not to be maudlin this March. I thought it would be so awful and it hasn’t been but suddenly it has hit me that in 6 days I should be celebrating a birthday. In 6 days I can’t say “I was pregnant this time last year. This week is it. This week is […]
The Other Nice Bits of the Week.
Fran and I have spent a very pleasant few bits of time sat at the table and making bracelets and dragons; she’s started to sell a few to friends now and has been invited to a charity coffee morning with them tomorrow. hard to know how that will go but I hope she sells some. […]
Friday Blog Hop – Happy
These days, when I look in my girls eyes, I can see many things. I can see that they’ve been sad, terribly, terribly sad and that it will be with them forever. But I also see girls who know how to be happy; every day I see them take a deep breath, shake themselves and […]
