Nothing says ‘Tis the Season’ like Old Socks!

I am, as always, far-too-excited for a grown-up by the start of Advent. I just love it! We celebrated by building a snowman, having an indoor picnic feast (Teddies and Dolls invited), watching The Muppet Christmas Carol and, of course, the Grand Unveiling of the Sweet Advent Calendar! After last years flamingo pink & electric blue effort, [...]

Market Trader!

Sweetmumma has been a busy girl. My teeny-weeny cottage industry, SweetStuff, has been ticking along nicely. I’ve got 2 more sales before Christmas (if they go well, the Sweetkids WILL be getting presents!!), so I’ve been beavering away making sure I’ve got enough stock to sell.

Particularly since baby-induced lack-of-sleep eroded my already useless memory… I’ve had to get in the [...]

Picture Perfect

A while ago I posted about how M&M and I were going to try some joint praying of the spontaneous, as-the-need-arises variety. Well, after that I made this little picture for our lounge: We thought it would act as a not-so-subtle reminder for our sleep-deprived brains that we really want to develop a “Let’s pray [...]

Buckets of Love

Now I’ve got my ‘workroom’ all up and running (mini-bunting added, signed Ian Botham picture removed, family informed “DO NOT TOUCH”), it would be a shame not to ‘work’ on something. I’d spotted this… …a while back and thought it was a brilliant idea. What a fun way to get praying for other people (the [...]
