The last few days have been filled with creative making as well as home making. I have really enjoyed the time off over the last week. Trying to ground myself back into the way i like life to be.

 We made salt dough love hearts to give to our friends. This is the first time i have made salt dough and we all loved it. Look at the little hands!

 And the not so little hands.

 At work recently i was a little cheeky as i ordered some of the gorgeous tree blocks for our middle years children. Well i say for the children but really they were for me! I just love them and i have boon looking at getting some for some time. Each time beciding not to for variour reasons. Anyway my children (at school) love them and while they were at home over the holiday, we took care of the eco blocks at our home. And yes, my children loved them too, and so do i!!!!

 Then there was a bit of flower wearing!

 And on Tuesday of course there was pancakes. Felt ones are great for tossing

 Then there was an impromptune pancake making session involving pjamas, beads and water.

 Oh and stiring!!

 Lucy and I spent a lovely time this morning learning letters and painting. We printed the initial letter for all of the names friends and family we know.
L for Lucy,
D for daddy
M for Mummy
E for Emily
R for Reuben
F for Finn
G for Gran gran
N for Nanny.

Painty fingers.

Today.

FOR TODAY




Outside my window... there is snow on the ground still



I am thinking...i wish i had more time to do the things i want to do...



I am thankful... for my gorgeous family



In the kitchen...there is left over leek and potato soup for my lunch!



I am wearing...nothing exciting as usual - wishing i had more cosy knitted jumpers



I am creating... not a lot - i refer to my previous answer!



I am going... to get Lucy from preschool in a bit, cant wait to hear what she has been doing without me



I am wondering...whether i should just stick to what is important to me and sod everything else!



I am reading... rhythm of family by Amanda Blake Soule



I am hoping... there is more snow so i do not have to work this week



I am looking forward to... having next week off with my girls.



I am learning to be more patient and to bite my tongue more



Around the house...all is clean and tidy amazingly!!



A favorite quote for today... If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.


Bruce Barton




A few plans for the rest of the week: nothing exciting really just work!



A peek into my day...

Olly, Olly, Olly !!

This Saturday i went to see.....

 Oh yes i am now officially a fan! It was Brill, very funny, entertaining and genuine. I loved it!

 I went with my friends, Nicola, Sophie and Nicola's mum. Nicola is the diehard Olly fan and she got the tickets. Very close to the front actually, we had a really good view. Anyway Olly stands there and says that it is his dads birhtday and all 16.000 people shart singing happy birthday to him. We looked up to the boxes to see him, but no, he was sitting right next to us! only a stair way between us! Ha!!

 We then spent the evening watching them, watching him! wow! how proud they must have been. We noticed his mum, notice that olly was crying as he sang a couple of the songs. It was just brill!

And then we tried to get home in the snow!! Oh dear, that was a journey! Good old Pregnant Nicola got us back. goodness knows how! 3am i got into my bed and up again at 6:30 with girls!

Was a brill night - thank you Nicola
