The word I choose for my Gallery post this week is…*fanfare*… Chopsticks. Tori’s favourite bath toys are the Beginner’s Chopsticks that my sister bought my parents one Christmas. It’s amazing how much fun you can have with two plastic, farm animal themed chopsticks and a bath full of bubbles… Click on the badge to…… Continue reading The Gallery: One Word
So, yesterday (!) BabyBump decided to arrive, very swiftly. I went to bed, fell asleep and then, at about half twelve woke up with contractions already just 3 and a half minutes apart and quite strong. At 6.48am ‘BabyBump’ was born and Sy and I were overjoyed to welcome a very healthy little boy into…… Continue reading The Gallery: Simple Pleasures
I could have picked a hundred different pictures for this week’s theme of ‘Togetherness’. Of me and Sy, of us with Tori, of me with my parents or siblings or friends or any number of combinations of the above. But when I sat down and started going through photos I suddenly realised that the one…… Continue reading The Gallery: Togetherness
This week Tara’s theme for The Gallery is 24 hours so here is a day in the life of the Tweenster, Daddy, Bump and I…(not quite 24 hours but I don’t tend to take photos when I’m asleep…) **** Daddy heads off to work at silly o’clock leaving just me, Bump and Tori for breakfast.…… Continue reading The Gallery: Just An Ordinary Day

But as well as them I have a Sy. Who, sometimes, is the perfect extra child – no nappies to change but still needs feeding,…… Continue reading The Gallery: Children
I have been without a camera for the last week or so which has been like living without an arm or something. Horrible. But this week’s theme for The Gallery instantly made me want to go on a hunt for a photograph I took in 2009, just a couple of days before Tori made…… Continue reading The Gallery: Mother Nature
This week, The Gallery theme is ‘Sparkle’ – and the very first thing that came to my mind was this photo. Tori adds sparkle to every day but a couple of weeks ago she discovered one of my hairbands – zebra print with added sequins – and was determined to put it on all by…… Continue reading The Gallery: Sparkle
This week I have decided to take part in Sticky Fingers’ Gallery and the topic is ‘Celebration’. There are so many things to celebrate at this time of year but one thing staying at my Mum’s house has reminded me of is how much I love British Wildlife. Not just the unusual visitors and exciting…… Continue reading The Gallery: Celebration
