Seáns Birthday













Happy new year everyone! 2012! Can u believe it? I have just made it one of my new year's resolutions to start blogging again, as I had reason to look at my blog the other day and it made me smile to look back at the picture's of my kid's and see how much they have grown, the time flies by so past and in this digital age I for one find that I don't print my pictures but instead leave them sitting forlornly on a disc which is just so sad, so it is nice to look back and see how much they have grown. I also have to admit that I was shocked to notice that my last post was WAY back then in 2010! alot has happened since then, My Dad passed away in May 2010 and that made me feel very depressed and not in the mood to share my thoughts with anyone, also with the recession the past couple of year's have been tough, not so much money around, little or no work to be found and living on a very tight budget, so I am going to also use my blog as a tool to plan my weekly menus and add some new recipes, it's always a handy place to keep things!
My son Seán was 5 on the 8th of Jan this year but his best friend was also 5 the day before and held his party that weekend, so I decided then that we would have ours the following weekend and so we did, Seán was in his element and had a great time, he was so happy to have all of his friends at his house and delighted with all of his pressies! My sister also brought us this great drinks fountain at Christmas as an extra present and it was a great addition, the kids loved it, we also dug out our chocolate fountain which we got a few years ago but it is always a great success! They all had a great time anyway so that's what counts!

Groundhog day no more!



You know that you live in a farming community when your children make snow 'bales' instead of snowmen! Although they did also make snowmen!

It has been a touch of groundhog day here since about the week before Christmas as we keep getting more and more snow and it seems like christmas is ongoing which is not good for the waistline! Schools have been cancelled and so we have not resumed our usual routine and no work is getting done! However this morning we felt a return to normality as we woke to rain and gale force winds! Its amazing the difference that one day makes, I took the top three pics yesterday and the bottom one today! However I'm not in any hurry to go driving on those roads today they look like glass! So it will be another evening in beside the fire doing crochet or knitting! Hope its good wherever you are!

Happy New Year!


Here's hoping that 2010 is the best yet!

Hope you all had a great Christmas!

One of my new years resolutions is that from now on I will make the time to come and blog more often! I know I seriously neglected my blogging buddies in the later part of this year and I am truly sorry, but things just got on top of me, life and business got in my way as they do and I did int seem to ever have enough hours in the day, and although 2009 wasn't a bad year for me, /I won't be sorry to see it gone and look forward to the blank page that is 2010, a new year and a new decade. We had a good Christmas, as I hope you all did and much excitement to see Snow, which we don't often see here by the sea, although it made travelling hard and so I still haven't got to see my family for Christmas as they live a couple of hours drive away but have been on the telephone so not too bad. I am trying to upload some pictures for this post but blogger is having none of it so I may try and add some Christmas pictures tomorrow, before the new year arrives, so will chat to you again then,

The whole crew!

Hi There,
Hope you are all well, just thought I would post some Halloween pics. The kids had a great time at a halloween party at their cousins house, after going trick or treating to the neighbours they bobbed for apples and stuffed their faces with sweets for the night! A great time was had by all. Hope you enjoyed your Halloween too!
