Catch Up and a Happy Birthday to Gary!
The last few weeks have been lovely. We have pretty much finished decluttering the upstairs and have managed to repaint the twin’s room as well. More to come on that, perhaps tomorrow. Becca is happily ensconced in her bedroom: whilst Abigail is still rearranging hers. I shall be posting on her new room too. I […]

And onto the Twins’ Room
So…having almost finished with Rebecca’s room I have moved onto the twins’ room. Between us we moved the entire contents of their bedroom into Thomas’ old bedroom: It is lovely to see it so bare, although not having any books on the book cases makes Charlotte and I very agitated! We both feel very comforted […]

Rebecca’s Bedroom (almost) Finished
In just three days we’ve managed to almost finish Becca’s room. I say almost because at the end of this month Abigail will be moving out and into Thomas’ room, and Becs will be getting a new to her bed. Between us we have got rid of 15 or so black bags of clothes, toys, […]

Four Weeks and Counting!
We began our summer holidays two weeks ago, and I have had a wonderful time relaxing, school planning for next year and watching reruns of the Great British Bake off. We have four more weeks of summer left and I have many plans to empty our house! Yes, I am on a decluttering, reorganisation rampage! […]

Why I ALWAYS Use Our Best Chinaware.
You may or may not have noticed the gorgeous china I use at every mealtime. Our china is Portmeirion and is not cheap. I have a very normal, and probably more clumsy than normal family. Needless to say, china gets broken. Frequently. I remember when the older ones were little, probably about two, they used […]

Precious Moments
I’m afraid today’s post will not be very substantive. I have felt off kilter for the past week, with a tummy upset, sore throat and just feeling generally ill and really tired. I slept most of yesterday (which is very very unusual for me to sleep during the day) and feel like I am maybe […]

High Calorie Granola {Healthy Living}
Yes, you read correctly: high calorie granola. It is rare that I post a recipe for anything which is high calorie on purpose, but I have a son who is training for the army and he needs the calories along side the health. This is an all natural, very flexible granola recipe. I make a […]

Precious Moments
I almost didn’t write this as I feel like I have spent the week either making hospital appointments, worrying about hospital appointments, keeping hospital appointments and celebrating the good news afterwards. There have been no photos of busy and joyful children because this week has been full of tears, worry and at times terror. A […]
