I felt a bit guilty yesterday as I took Boo to our local park. Now usually, this would not make a parent feel bad but, I felt awful because we haven’t been for ages. You see at home, we have a swing, slide and a see-saw so I always think there’s no point taking her … [Read more…]
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about preparing Boo’s room to be decorated. Well it’s taken me this long to paint it, add all the finishing touches and then photograph it all. I am very pleased with is on the whole. The cutting-in at the top could be better but at least I … [Read more…]
I started #100happydays back in January and, a week in, I wrote a blog post because I was struggling with what made me happy. Back then, some lovely people commented on the post and they really made me think differently about the challenge. #100happydays was not about big gestures. For me, it was about the little things … [Read more…]
My word of the week this week is… (new) I have had a blog redesign this week including a professional photo shoot-get me! I have never had photos taken professionally-except for my wedding but I don’t think they count because you don’t pose as such. So recently I decided to have my blog redesigned. I’d done … [Read more…]
As a farmer’s wife, I cook three meals a day for the family, farm workers and who ever else turns up. As any partner of a manual worker will tell you, beans on toast just won’t cut it. I also bake cakes as a little business on the side so an improvement in the taste … [Read more…]
So we’ve nearly completed two days of the Organix No Junk Challenge. It has gone okay. I say okay because it could have been better. Day one, Boo had a wheat biscuit for breakfast. I have written about this before because despite all brands of wheat biscuits not tasting in the least bit sweet, they … [Read more…]
I’ve written before about my love of books and how I want to pass this trait on to Boo. We joined our local library about a year ago. Even I was impressed. The people who work there are amazing. They love books too and, when they got to know me and what I liked reading, … [Read more…]
Well it is all very exciting at the farm this week. For once, it is not about the animals or our escapades. Next Sunday-4th May, I will be leaving the farm for the day. That’s right-a whole day away. I am attending my first, ever, blogger conference which will be hosted at the Museum of Science and … [Read more…]
So last night, I signed up to the Organix #NoJunk challenge. It is Friday. It starts on Monday and I am yet to do my food shop. Rather than run blindly into the supermarket abyss, I decided I needed to think about this and plan, plan, plan. So… I went to my local library and … [Read more…]
This week’s Word of the Week is…. How boring is that? I have booked next week off as it is Boo’s first full week of mornings in nursery and I am going to decorate her room. Now, as previous posts have stated, while we have only been in the house for two years, I am … [Read more…]
