10 years and counting....

-

10 years ago on the 9th of February I became a Mummy. And I have loved every moment since.



Except the time when he was 3 months old when he puked on my bedsheets and pooed so badly that he leaked out all over his car seat on the same day.

Oh, and the day when he went to school and I knew we were going to be parted forever.

And last week when he was not very nice about my cooking.



Apart from that it's been lovely.





And yes, we had a lovely birthday. We went to the cinema to see National Treasure; the Book of Secrets and had tea at Ma's house. The cake (home made chocolate) was decorated as an Omnitrix (don't ask) and the presents were Lego and Gormiti (if you know Omnitrix you will either know or be about to know these.) And we all sang happy birthday. Cool!

    Just found your blog, but can't remember how. I just followed a trail! My wee man is 5 on Thursday, the best Valentine's gift ever. He too complained on Sat morning that I had made omelette for him instead of boiled egg (he had asked for either). There was a lengthy explanation about ungratefulness! I have just started blogging, it's good to meet you!

    Hi Jo,
    This is to tell you that Mary has the most amazing front garden! I yearn for it in the spring time. It's so pretty with all the lovely spring flowers popping up. Then last Summer I was lucky enough to see it in all the summer glory. She has so much and the colours take your breath away. I hope you get to see it.
    Oh yes, and happy birthday to your son, he looks like a lovable little rogue!
    Cheers,
    Jenny

    Happy 10th Birthday to your lovely son. My younger brother was born on the 9th of Feb - a very, very hot day according to my mother - and he's a great bloke too! We had a lovely family party at his house on Sat with homemade pizza and a gorgeous chocolate cake. He got a juicer from mum but I reckon he might have really loved what your son got!!

    Happy birthday to your little (sorry, BIG) one! My biggest one asked worriedly tonight if I was planning on wearing my current favourite outfit to parent's evening as it was a "bit hippy and young"??!
    Needless to say I wore it, just so the teachers could confuse me with his sister!

    ps. it's not a CK tablecloth, just 2 metres of Laura Ashley oilcloth, does the job nicely.

    Happy Birthday! In Holland they have a tradition where it is the Mother that receives good wishes as well as the person who is celebrating their birthday. My Mum always thought it was a fab plan because after all it was her that did all the hard work!

    So congratulations!

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

-

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
