A new challenge


This February I am setting myself a challenge. Inspired by all the photo a day challenges I have seen since joining the blogging world I have finally plucked up the courage to participate!

I have filled in my Molly Makes calendar and noted each days challenge in my diary so there are no excuses!! I'm a little excited about this challenge from the Fat Mum Slim blog. I am looking forward to having something to share on Twitter and Pinterest (My new obsession!) and to having a peek into other peoples lives as they too share their photos! At the end of each week I will post my photos on here and blog about my week.

So as I sit and write this post there is one day left of January, one day before I launch myself into the February Photo A Day Challenge... can't wait!

Farewell to 2011....


A long long time has passed since I last posted. I have celebrated a birthday, left a job, started a new one, celebrated the birth of my first nephew (!!) and enjoyed a beautifully festive Christmas filled with family, delicious Christmassy treats all topped off with a cheery new year and an engagement!!

Three days in to the New year I am back to work and missing my family!

Christmas and New year has been spent surrounded by family, playing charades & pictionary (a family tradition), a few rounds of Just Dance with my brothers and sisters and my favourite Christmas film 'Santa Claus the movie' a love for which I have successfully passed onto my daughter!

We visited my family a few weeks before Christmas and much to my liking my Pops had saved the putting up of the real Christmas for my arrival!

My sister and I enjoyed a pot of tea in cup and saucer whilst Bella played with the train and track that encircled the tree as we decorated!

We were quite pleased with our work!

The last months and moments of 2011 have been the best. November saw the birth of mine & my hubbies beautiful nephew, Freddie. Perfect in every way!

And on New Years eve came the announcement of my brother and his girlfriends engagement! So very happy, congratulations Jesse and Emma!

I have revelled and reminisced in the joys of 2011 and the end of the year bought with it some exciting makes...

A table den for my goddaughter Olivia and a tee pee for my own little Bella to hide out in!



I have been desperate to share these photos but have had to wait until they had been eagerly unwrapped on Christmas morning!

Bye for now!
