Last Sunday we spent the afternoon in Oxford.  We popped into the Oxford University Museum of Natural History for a while.  It looked very much as if it was Dinosaur Dinnertime from this viewpoint! Those poor people.     The post Dinosau...

Project 366 2016 Week 21 Day 143-149 with The Boy and Me. Sunday 22nd May – Day 143 A photo that just about sums up an entire day – fab!  We started it off with a trip to our local … Continue reading → The post Project 366 20...

  Today I wanted to tell you about the Seventh Generation Healthy Baby Home Party happening right now.    What is a Healthy Baby Home [...] The post Apply to Host a Healthy Baby Home Party appeared first on Everyday Life.

Before we decided to try for a baby, our life probably looked quite odd from the outside. Having a farmer husband didn’t really change my independence and life much because he worked all hours of the day during the summer and in the winter was...

Last Sunday we went out for lunch and got to see this lovely family of swans, taking a break, enjoying the sunshine.  No ugly ducklings here. The post A Family at Rest – Silent Sunday My Sunday Photo 220516 appeared first on Over 40 and a Mum...

Project 366 2016 Week 20 Day 136-142 with The Boy and Me. From signets and croquet, to a boiler that wasn’t condemned and a back that doesn’t like me! Sunday 15th May – Day 136 We were spending the day in the Cotswolds.  We...

At the beginning of this year Theo joined Stagecoach in Chichester as a blogging ambassador, although I didn’t realise it at the time, he was also one of the youngest pupils they’ve ever had, starting there at just 4 years and 4 months ol...

I feel as if I’ve got a sign above my head at the moment that says ‘feel free to dump freely all over me’.  Everything that can break is breaking, along with the bank balance.  My hormones are all over … Continue reading ...

Latest news on Sihanoukville Journal, an insider's view of Sihanoukville, Cambodia. It’s hard to believe, but the first time I visited Cambodia was nearly 10 years ago. I was going to wait until September to write this post, but something happe...

Last weekend we were in Derbyshire, enjoying the sunshine and having fun outdoors. Monkey decided it was time for some Hide and Seek adventures in the deep dark wood. The post Hide and Seek – Silent Sunday My Sunday Photo 150516 appeared first...

Project 366 2016 Week 18-19 Day 122-135 with The Boy and Me. From ice cream to cocktails and a lot of fun in between. Sunday 1st May – Day 122 Daddy P was shattered so we opted for the easier option … Continue reading → The post Pr...

I slept a tad later but felt good once I got up and moving. Blake said that she heard that it was a wild show last night, and I told her that it was, but that it didn’t get out of hand. “Your idea of not out of hand and mine are different...

We picked up Elizabeth from preschool and then headed to the bookstore for dinner. My cell went off, and Blake answered it for me. It was Johnny, and she told him where we were going and apparently he and Honey will be joining us. She clicked off and...

Baby slings and I have a slightly checkered history. When I had Theo I invested in one of those long wrap type slings that could be done up in a hundred ways, convinced it was my solution to everything, then having clearly not managed to master any o...

Monday was Monkey’s forth session with Beavers.  It’s been an interesting experience so far.  We have lots of protestations about not wanting to go, but when I pick him up he’s full of all the fun he’s had.  He asked …...

After working on the farm for a good spell, I showered up and crashed on the couch in the living room where I put in Crossroads, a classic movie revolving around the legend of Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil that made him a great guitari...

I spent the rest of the day messing around with the truck that finally conked out. I decided that investing any more money into the old dog was foolish, so I called some dealers looking for a deal. Fred Smools, a good-natured salesman at the Ford de...

We went to Abingdon Airshow last Sunday.  It was meant to be a relaxing day, with a short drive for a work weary Daddy P.  It took 2 hours to cover what should have taken less than half an hour. … Continue reading → The post Time for a...

At the moment of birth, there is suddenly stillness and a collective intake of breath. There is recognition by everyone that a momentous and transformative event has taken place – a miracle.  A new baby is placed on a mother’s breast and lif...
