Yesterday marked six months since my own beautiful mummy left us. I thought I’d be too upset to write about it. I just don’t think you ever recover from the loss of a close loved one. It’s always there. The pain. The cruelty of being taken too soon. It feels so sudden eventhough you knew that […]

Sponsored by Nuffnang Well we have just one little Thomas & Friends fan here. He is very much outnumbered by the Dora and princess fans being the only boy amongst 3 girls. But he loves his Thomas. And as usual when I have to write a blog post about something that includes a YouTube video […]

I have to admit I’ve never made zucchini slice before but since it was pouring with rain and a dreary sunday I decided I’d bake something delicious for lunch. And retro daddy loved it so much he said I just need to add pastry on the bottom and it would taste like his beloved egg and […]

September 18, 2011 By 14 Comments
Sometimes you really do have to stop what you’re doing, grab your camera and just capture it. So often I just wait for a special moment or occasion to take a picture. But before you know it another month has passed, someone has grown some more or lost a tooth or doesn’t want to get […]
