Day 36 - WHAT I'M WORKING ON



On a weekend if I have a decent stretch of free time I can be found doing digital scrapbooking and working on my albums. I am not at all a crafty person and I'm not really even a big fan of scrapbooking (although I do have quite a few traditionally scrapped albums). But I do love the photos of my family and the adventures we've had together. I'm also one of those people who have recorded all the funny little things my kids have said and done over the years. So whilst I don't love scrapbooking, I do love having the record of all these memories. I switched to digital scrapbooking because it is so much faster. I can usually get around 6 pages done in one sitting, which considering how far behind I am (see if you can spot what year this album is from that I'm currently working on) it is helping me catch up.

So that is what I have been doing a lot of these school holidays and often do on the weekend. I look forward to being more up to date and not having the same pressure to get pages done. It is lovely to be looking back over old photos though :o)

Day 35 - DELIGHTFUL

Owen and I devoted 3 hours of our time one day during these holidays to watching this


A movie with a main character, leading actress, storyline and songs that can all only be described as truly delightful!!

Oh and you've got to love a movie that has an intermission!!

I love The Sound of Music! Has to be one of my favourite family films.

Day 32 - DANCE

Ok, so I'm going to cheat a little bit today. Technically I'm supposed to be posting a photo and not a video but this time I just couldn't resist. Whilst out tonight at a our favourite local bar/cafe/restaurant The Metz, Mia noticed the music in the background and just couldn't help herself. I hope you enjoy the video of our funky dancing girl!!!

Day 31 - MOTTO


I had never heard of this before I visited the lovely Stacey's blog. But I absolutely love it!! I have been thinking about it all week and think it will be my motto for life. I also think it makes excellent parenting advice :o)

I've included the video below of where this poster came from. 
(Is that the coolest bookshop in the world or what??)
