Right Now.
I love right now's. It means I don't have to think about writing to much. I am not a great writer as you can see but I do like documenting things, pretty things and inportant to life things. I do think of lots of things to write but whenever I try to nothing happens, hence why there are great big missing gaps on my blog. So anyway here goes, my right nows for now.
Right Now:
:: I am sitting in a terribly messy lounge 'thinking ' about tidying it.
:: Loving seeing all the games and toys the boys have played with today.
:: Pondering what to make my sisters for their birthdays this year. I am determined to do it this year and more importantly send it. I still have one sister's present by the back door from last March.
:: Hoping that my eldest is feeling a bit better.
:: Writing a to do list of all thigs I have to do and all things I would like to do.
:: Deciding what recipes to make this week.
:: Loving the boys and their smiles.

A late Christmas Review.
We had a fantastic Christmas this year, quite different to the last one where we were all ill and very stressed. My aim as in every year was t have a simple Christmas but really this still means an awful lot of hard work. In the run up to Christmas I baked my heart out and on Christmas eve I sat down with my needle and thread and hemmed the trousers up on a pair of pyjamas for G's doll. A lovely friend had made them for me and I just had to hem the trousers. The only thing I didn't manage to do was the tea cosy for a friend so I am busy doing that at the moment.
So the picture is of Christmas eve. This used to be my favourite evening of the whole year. The chance to make eveything sparkly for the boys, oh the excitement, and sit down with some champagne and my husband but this year was a bit stressful and I don't think it is going to get any easier really. The boys were very excited and we just couldn't get them to bed and when we did I sat here on tender hooks waiting for someone to come down stairs while the sparkly bit was in progress. We didn't have to worry about drinkig the milk, eating the carrot or the cake because G had done that before going to bed.
A really lovely quiet Christmas for us playing trains, marble runs and games. No Lego this year though.
I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and the New Year is going well.

Right Now.
Right now:
:: Listening to the wind howling outside
:: Smelling the lovely cinnamon sents making their way from the oil burner.
:: listening to the boys arguing. Sigh.
:: Contemplating the new colour of the front door which has been up until now going to be painted F&B Churlish Green.
:: Wondering whether to abort this blog or put in lots more effort.
:: Wondering what the new year has in store for us and contemplaiting writing a list of what I would like to acheive.
How about you?
Hoping anyone who reads this a very good New Year.

This Moment.
I am joining Soulemama again this week for this moment. A picture without any words, capturing a moment of the week.
We have had a very busy and exhausting week so we are very much looking forward to the weekend. Wishing everyone who reads my blog (when I do get around to posting anything) a lovely weekend.

Corners of my home.
I just love to have a glimpse into peoples homes. I love looking past the intended subject of what they are photographing to see what the background tells me about them. I love seeing peoples style and choices whatever it might be. So I have decided to take a few photographs of my kitchen. My kitchen, the heart of the home where chaos lives, where boys run in and out of all day, cooking, baking, art making and just living. The kitchen is exceptionally messy this day but err not as bad as today.

One more step along the world I go.
My little boy. This age seemed to go on forever while it was there.
Last day of play school for my eldest son. When I had children I always imagined them to be about three years of age, never did I imagine they would go to school.
My son has been going to play school for the last two years and has enjoyed every minute of being there. The teachers are fantastic and really nurturing, he has lovely friends and I have enjoyed our walk into the village, exploring the fields and trees with lovely chats along the way. So I got in a right old pickle when the day came to say good bye. Not only is J moving on to a new school but one without his friends and in a different town, a bus ride away in fact. I love his new school and pleased with our choice but it is so sad to say goodbye to the old no matter how exciting the new is.
Yes, I did cry as did everyone in the hall. Boxes of tissues were handed out to make us cry even more. It was the song 'One more step along the world I go' that did it. Files that have been worked on were handed out and a present for each leaver.
Bye play school and hello big school.
On the way to play school for the last time.
A special breakfast treat in the park first.
This tree stump is special. It is special because it has been jumped on everday. It started off when we first started going to play school. I would have to lift J on and then help him jump off. The next year he could get on himself and I would have to help him jump off and now he can do it all by himself and my offers of help are only accepted by my 1 year old.
