I was recently asked by someone I know if I make any money from blogging and when I said I didn't they thought it was wasting my time. Their reaction did catch me off guard and I was stuck for words, mainly because I didn't get their logic, but also partly because this I sort of took it personally. ... [ Read More ]

Mommy Reality #21 – Scarey!
It's time to take part in the latest Mommy Reality Challenge and as this one ends on the eve of Halloween, the hosts, Jen and Celeste have come up with the rather appropriate challenge of getting us Mums to share a photograph of something scarey in our lives. We recently threw away some very ... [ Read More ]
Change
Change... This weeks has been all about change. On Wednesday, after a long summer, my husband finally finished his summer job of working in a hotel beach bar.

So for me it was more 'What shall I snap a picture of?' (spoiled for choice) rather than 'Oh no, what can I snap a picture of?' (nothing ... [ Read More ]

I had planned a different, more upbeat post for today, but after taking my son to one of his therapies I am feeling rather peeved and a touch disillusioned to say the least. It was not so long ago that I was feeling full of hope for our sons future, after what ... [ Read More ]
