The Magic of Easterchristmas

The Easter Bunny has come, and left our daughter to collect everything around our living room beyond Easter Sunday and colourful chocolates.

Disarray makes me twitchy But this week, when one of the photo’s that fits nicely in my collage took a flying leap off the wall, and landed annoyingly…

Christmas Must Haves

Christmas shopping has started and this year, due to funds, we’re cutting back. We’ve found the internet to be a great resource for deals, and have been combing specialty sites picking out gifts for everyone in our lives. There are some pretty awesome gifts to consider so we’ve narrowed it down to our favourites. Belly…
