Do your children like to copy everything you both do? I know Flynn does, he mimics everything we both do and say, but none more so than Simon. Anything that Simon does- Flynn wants to be there, it is so sweet to watch. He is starting to get to a great age for photos where he will follow a basic instruction which is really fun!!! Simon is learning through time and mistakes that he needs to be really careful with both what he says and does as he needs to set a good example (and I keep on threatening to start a swear jar!!)

I was sorting through some photos yesterday and stumbled across my pregnancy album from last time with Flynn. We took a photo every week from when we found out I was expecting and I am so glad we did as it is so wonderful to look back on and reminisce back to those times. It was not something I looked forward to or enjoyed at the time but I am so glad that we did it now. We are doing the same thing this time around and it is also fun to compare the two pregnancies.
When you have a craving for something, but make it yourself !!!! I have started feeling a lot better over the last few days and I even felt up to baking again- I have been less over the past few months. So yesterday afternoon I felt like some muffins and put these together- Banana Raspberry and they were a really great combination, I need to go and have some more before they are all gone !!Have I posted this recipe before ?? I just went and had a look and yes I have !! Just in case you want to have a go here you are.
Well I said last week that there was a reason behind my lack of organizational posts of late and this is why!!! I am 12 weeks pregnant : ) We went together as a family for my 12 weeks scan today and they were 90% sure it is another boy. He was super healthy and all of this results came back perfect.
I stumbled across this fantastic customizable chore chart on a blog the other day and I just love it !! I love the idea of being able to fill in your own “chores” and adapt it to each individual child. I am going to start using this next year for Flynn (2 1/2 years old) and I will being adding things like packing away toys, doing a wee on the toilet, using his manners etc etc. Not so much “chores” for a toddler but more boundaries as to what behaviour is expected at home. I think I will laminate the chart and Flynn can colour in the circles- that way at the end of the week we can just wipe it clean. This option means that you will not have to remember to reprint the chart every week and have stickers all over your house !!
Well my scrapbooking desk is anyway : ) It my place in the world where I allow myself to be totally messy- and I love it. The more messy it is the more I am usually creating and coming up with ideas and projects that I want to start or complete. So at the moment as you can see by the stack in the middle of my desk I am mini album focused at the moment. This is because I am currently up to date with our family, Flynn’s and my 365 project (this rarely happens!!) and so this allows me extra time over the next few months to start and finish some extra projects.
I had a lot of people email me regarding the Project Life kit and I just looked on the website and it is for sale !! …READ MORE
