Am I the first to post?! If not apologies for starting a new thread, but can't see one for this week!
Here's my latest.
As it's Sunday, it's a Silent Sunday one and here's someone we met down in the woods today..

Look What I've Made! I actually completed my sewing challenge and am so chuffed with myself! I've posted some pics of the result and am sharing some of the tips I picked up along the way for other beginners.

I made an Erdbeerkuchen.

Two this week! Gardening with toddlers mentioned earlier (edited and, I think, improved; I'd hit publish too soon!) & our first trip to the seaside with two walking toddlers...

I've taken the pledge for Fresh Week. But I will still be drinking gin.

sorry that link doesn't work. Try again. Tefal Fresh Week

Two posts from me this week... uncharacteristically prolific.

I made some enamel tiles to exhibit at a local art trail, using a red cabbage print.

I imagine there'll be many like it, but I've posted a reaction to Barbara Hewson's article on Spiked;
Let Kids Be Kids
Anyone else blogged about this?

On another note, I LOVE the idea of Silent Sunday - will definitely have to start doing that.

Why should kids have all the fun? Well, they shouldn't. So I wrote about it! bit.ly/ZKAH2E

Why Budgens Can Be Embarrassing

Being the domestic goddess that I obviously am, I set fire to a tea towel last week, but never mind because I've upcycled it into a cute kids apron which obviously means I am superwoman or something

Was in Corfu on holiday last week visiting old haunts and met up with a rather lovely old man

Hi all, Not been around for a while, and have name changed a few times since I was last here. I've enjoyed catching up on some blogs tho.

Today on the blog I am introducing my new Friday treats kicking off with a Sweet Butterfly Treat.

It's my first Fromage Friday and I'm trying Dorset Blue Vinny. Yum!

The £1 cinema. The rustle of snacks as families empty a whole sweet shop of wrappers onto the floor. Baby Princess-Angel is crying the whole way through Men in Black 6, just because Tommy Lee Jones? face was ripped off. Maybe you?ll endure another mind numbing CGI adventure, with a host of cute animals in some saccharine coated fable.

The Wind in The Willows retold as a picture book. One of a lovely series of classics for young children from Usborne.

It's Day 10 in the birdbox- the chicks are almost here!

I've reached book 5 in the Lymond Chronicles:

The Ringed Castle

Back after a break and arguing

Latest post is about my favourite adoption books for kids

Today I talk about a big scary decision for me anyway!

A letter to my boy

My latest post is Share: Give and Get Support in which I encourage readers to share their experience of healing from a break up, in order to support each other.
