Attempting to live a better story … and scrapbooking it.

Month: January 2014

Review

It's done.I survived.The Brainy One and I went into school for The Boy Child's first review meeting.It's true to say that I was worried about it.Who wants to listen to two hours of negative comments about their child?But the actuality of it was completely different.The Brainy One is an excellent public speaker and used to … Continue reading Review →

Present and {Dis} Connected

Thinking about being more has led me to think about how I might be seen by The Boy Child and The Brainy One. And I reached the unhappy conclusion that both of them probably see me as someone who is always saying, "just a minute" or, "not right now".  Living with others and growing a … Continue reading Present and {Dis} Connected →

Jot Magazine | Quick Layout Challenge

Issue 4 of the online magazine, Jot, has a number of challenges.One that caught my eye was to use a printed/patterned Project Life style overlay for the layout's title.The Boy Child's class went to the London Eye and Aquarium on their class trip last September.  I wasn't the parent helper on that trip and all … Continue reading Jot Magazine | Quick Layout Challenge →

Sunday Evenings

I like Sunday evenings.We listen to Paul O'Grady on BBC Radio 2, once we are home from The Boy Child's swimming lesson.I listen to The Brainy One and The Boy Child reading together.I make sure all the relevant school uniform is ironed ready for the week ahead.The Brainy One usually supervises The Boy Child's bath … Continue reading Sunday Evenings →

Chaperone

The Boy Child went on a date today.He met up with a lovely girl from his class.They went to the cinema to see Frozen.They arranged it themselves and then presented we mums with a fait accompli.She is a very sweet girl.She thinks that The Boy Child is "the nicest boy in the whole school."I love … Continue reading Chaperone →

One in Twenty

As I was scrolling through a multitude of FB posts earlier (there really is such rubbish on there), I noticed a post about creating a layout using a timer.Twenty minutes for the basics.Then another twenty for the embellishments.And finally, another twenty to tweak if necessary.The Boy Child made a joke the other evening and I … Continue reading One in Twenty →

Restlessness

Sometimes I get restless.I make a plan and it usually involves a huge shopping mall not that far away.I make a list of anything I might need that I can't get locally, because the shopping mall has much larger versions of our local high street chains.And I treat myself to lunch.Which usually involves hot tea, … Continue reading Restlessness →
