Today I .....

Today I took one very excited 4 year old here.................

To see.......



Who went on "a very royal mission".

What did you guy's get up to this weekend?

Welcome to my world .......

Hiya everyone. How are we all?? did we all survive the half term holidays hehehe.

The other day a bloggy friend of mine (Libbie) invited us into her home to take a looksy round her bedroom ( in the hope that we would do the same because she's just toooo nosey hehehe). So in an effort to make this blog a bit more about me and my life and in an effort to satisfy Libbie's curiosity lol I thought i'd share a few pic's that I snapped this afternoon of my bedroom .... uncut ..... unedited and unstyled .....
.....because you know what, nobodys perfect, nobody's life is perfect and nobodys home is as perfect as we'd sometimes like to think here in blogland.

So welcome to my bedroom.... oh but please don't trip over the laundry basket on the way in hehehe..........




We live in quite a small two bed semi and don't have the luxury of a laundry room ( oh how I would love to have one of those lol) so clothes airers and baskets of laundry are a familiar sight in our bedroom







and as much as I try to keep things tidy and looking nice we always end up having to use top's of wardrobes as storage for things and a king size duvet on a double bed neatly disguises my handbag collection that's lurking underneath hehehe

but I do love to have my pretty things around me.......

I just want to stop there a minute and show you the beautiful blocks that I received from the very talented Annie over at birdcages and butterflies in my Christmas swap parcel. I do love them very much.

Right just a little bit more to show then I must be off.....

So there we are, a little snippet of my world. I do hope I didn't bore you lol
and I do hope you will join me and show a little bit of your home's ......

uncut...unedited and unstyled...

Speak to you all again soon

(((hugs)))

I won !!!!!

A couple of day's ago I was having a look at all the pretties over at
vintage amethyst boutique and noticed that she was having a giveaway. So of course I entered ( as you do ) Anyway to cut a long story short yesterday I received an email from Alison to say that I had actually won woooohoooo !!!

And then to my surprise the postie knocked on my door this morning and handed me a lovely pink package. Hmmmmm what can that be. The giveaway was only drawn yesterday so it can't be that .........can it ......



Well I was wrong. It was my prize and I am absolutely thrilled with it..... look...

Two of the yummiest smelling lavender hearts, a lovely hanging bird that will look right at home by the little birdhouse I have hanging in the bedroom and the prettiest heart shaped candle holder.

Thank you so much Alison I am truly thrilled with my prizes.

Please do go take a look at this lovely little shop it is packed full of pretties. Just don't blame me when things start jumping into your baskets hehehe.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Introducing ....... and forgiving....

Hiya How are we all today? Have we all had a good week?

I managed to get a few chicken'y photo's the other day and although they're not great photo's I thought I'd share them with you anyway because my two new little feathered friends are just dying to meet you lol.

So without further delay I would like to introduce.............

Henrietta (Hetty for short)
And

Kate
( sorry Kate no offence intended hehehe)
( oh and Libbie you should stop laughing now I might just decide to buy another one hehehe)
Poor Kate would normally be mostly white with a touch of black but unfortunately we went through a bit of bullying when we first introduced them and we ended up having to spray her with an anti pecking spray which seemed to turn her an amusing shade of orange / brown. Hopefully it will ware off hehehe.

So as you can see my tiny little bit of " the good life" is coming along nicely.

I'm sure some of you may have noticed that there are only three hen's in the last picture and your sure that I now have four... Right .... Well Yes you are right but whilst I was trying desperately hard to get a decent photo of the little darlings, Lola decided she would sneak away to make me a little present.

Do you wanna go take a look ?........................

OK then but we'll have to be quiet !!!!!!

Lola I do forgive you for walking out on my little photo shoot because ...........

well because ..................

Without all the little presents that you girls leave us we wouldn't be able to make................






All the lovely treats we like to eat.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend
(((hugs)))
karen

vegetables!!!!! what vegetables ?

Now I'm sure that a few of you can relate with me on this but this little man......

Just will not eat fruit and vegetables. You ask him why and he'll say " because I don't like them that's why" ( 4 year old with attitude lol).

Well , what river doesn't realise is that Mummy and daddy have been a little sneaky over the past week or so and well........

These sweets that river has been finding in his lunch box this week......

Are actually dried apricots hehehe

And this "yummy" cake that disappeared on Tuesday before I could even make the frosting.............

Was actually CARROT AND BANANA CAKE hahaha

And this chocolate cake that he just cannot wait to eat .......................

is actually chocolate and beetroot cake :-)

Mummy 1 River 0

Anyone got any other ways to help him reach his 5 a day????
