I think I'm the first!

My post today is about this time last year and talks a little of the depression I felt and how bad things were despite not admitting it fully at the time.

Hello! This week, the boy and I made a fairy door. Too cute.

It's a Silent Sunday from me...

Hello again. My post today is about adoption 101 and sticking to a routine

I've started a blogathon blogging challenge for June and changed the appearance of my blog.

WARNING - if you haven't yet seen Season 3, Episode 9, "The Rains of Castamere" then my post will spoil it for you. Unless you've read the books, in which case you'll have a fairly good idea of what's going to happen.

I seem to be on a bit of a roll tonight as I've just joined in with the Stacking the Shelves meme. You might like this if you're looking for ideas for books to read.

I have made Cheshire Cheese and Marmalade Bread Tarts which are really great to make with children, as they're so easy.
