#LivingArrows - Not Everything Is Black & White

Welcome to another week of #LivingArrows, this week I have chosen two photos of the children both of which were taken within a few minutes of each other and both of which are in black and white. I love using filters but the black and white one is a particular favourite of mine, that and of course those spectacular fluke shots that require no filter whatsoever. So without any further waffle, here are my efforts for #LivingArrows this week. HILARITY AT HOME TIME SIBLINGS SIDE BY SIDE Thanks for reading and as always I look forward to catching up with your #LivingArrows either through your own posts or comments…

#MySundayPhoto My Princess Peachy Pie

My head is pounding and feels like it has been trapped in a vice, that may be down to the oversized pitcher of Blue Lagoon and many Martini and lemonades that I consumed last night. It’s chucking it down outside and I have resorted to Disney movies to keep the kids shum whilst I quietly die on the sofa. It’s not often that we go out but when we do it seems I certainly do it in style, by which I mean I binge drink and suffer the next day. Will I ever learn? It seems unlikely… For #MySundayPhoto I…

For once this week I have actually had a number of things to select from for each section of this post rather than having to rack my brains as to what I’ve actually done for the past seven days. So without further ado, here goes! Read I began reading ‘A Year In The Life Of A Playground Mother‘ by Christie Barlow a few months ago but put it down after a chapter or two as I was simply too busy to spend time sitting reading. I really miss losing myself between the covers of a…

#FessUpFriday with BabyAnon From Stranger In A Strange Land

This weeks #FessUpFriday is written by ‘Baby Anon’ over at ‘Stranger In A Strange Land’. Baby Anon previously spent nine months in ‘Babyland’ before arriving in the World, she apparently uses her blog to capture her daily observations upon strange people in a very strange land. A Humiliating Day All Round. It had started relatively well. Father’s snoring had obviously abated as Mother was looking considerably less tired that morning. ‘I feel as if I actually managed more than twenty minutes sleep last night. Maybe even a whole hour,’ she remarked, looking directly at me in a slightly accusatory manner…

It Must Be Stressful In Our Household, Our Appliances Have Taken Up Smoking!

Our Appliances Are Stressed And Have Taken Up Smoking!

It must be stressful in our household as our appliances seem to have taken up smoking! It all began on Saturday whilst Paul was enjoying a casual vape by the back door, when for no reason whatsoever his ‘Cool Fire IV’ vape suddenly took up smoking and set alight. Whilst the vape may have been dubbed as a ‘CoolFire’ there was certainly nothing ‘Cool’ about this particular fire! Paul didn’t seem to know what to do at first and was juggling the vape between his hands much like a game of hot potato. I shouted at him to “throw it outside” and a moment…
