Picture the scene...
I am doing the daily chores (with my headphone in) stripping the beds and 'hoovering' the bedrooms when I catch site of myself in the full length mirror. ?Cheeks flushed, shaking my thang, flicking my hair and playing air guitar with the vacuum cleaner. That, I thought, is me- truly happy! So what was it, I hear you ask, that had me?boogieing in the bedrooms' My eighties secret pleasure...
Bet you can't watch without having a little wiggle!
Have a happy...

It is that we should have a new soul.G.K.ChestertonWow, what a year it's been.So much has happened in these past 12 months......I started blogging for one thing, which has enabled me to meet some fabulous, creative, passionate women, which in turn, encouraged me to get creative myself...oh, and tell the world a little bit about me......I said goodbye to my life in Canada and realised that as much as I wanted to go home, part of...

I am going to be taking a short hiatus (maybe a couple of weeks). 'Stuff' is happening in my life and blogging is not the first thing on my mind at the moment - I do hope you understand. I want to thank you all for your support. Where possible, I will be popping in to see you individually from time to time to say "Hi". And I will be back (that's for sure) I hope you guys will be here when I am- I think I'll need it.Love to you all,B x

Chris and I are the blessed parents of 3 beautiful children... Once upon a time, due to personal circumstances, I thought I would only have 1 child...just me and my girl and that was fine......then I met Chris and he adopted Jess...so 2 became 3...and soon after we were 5, when Max and Eva came along in quick succession.We decided a long time ago that 3 was enough for us (probably when Eva had had her 5th tantrum of the day!) but we never got around to making things 'final'. So here we are 5...

Not quite sure what's up with my family, but we've been sick...again!First me and the oldest 2 got flu, with a dash of vomiting thrown in for good measure, at the same time as I was having the living room and dining room decorated. Then Eva joined us, maybe she was feeling left out!?By the end of last week I'd had my fill of paint fumes, decorators, sick bowls and snotty tissues! However, my house is starting to resemble a home; pics to follow...Then my babygirl turned SEVEN... (picture taken...

...it's time to confess. I have taken to frequenting my local dumps/recycling centres on the lookout for pieces that will fit in my period home but without the 'antique' price tag... ...And here is my first find...I was sure that this little chair could be totally cute with a little TLC...I started by gently sanding it down before beginning to paint.......I used tester pots of paints that I already had in the house and followed up with a little *distressing* and...

I just wanted to take the time to thank the readers, commenters and followers of this blog (old and new) for their constant support.I have learned a lot about myself in the months I have spent blogging and although I have not reached my goal- of knowing what I want to do with my life now that the children are all at school and feeling 100% fulfilled. I can say, without doubt, that I am a lot nearer than I was when I began blogging. You ladies have been such an inspiration and I admire so many...

Winter warmers...
From Simply B, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It's definitely getting colder around here. In the mornings you can see your breath and we rely on condensation to warm our hands. Of course, after 4 years in Canada I know what real cold is, and England has it pretty easy. Still, it's time to get the woolies out. Time to snuggle up and keep warm. As warm as Toast.Unexpectedly, the other morning, a publication dropped through my letter box that just made winter look a whole lot brighter... Here's to bright, crisp days and cozy, dark...

New discoveries
From Simply B, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Before we lived in Canada, we lived in Hertfordshire. Practically where we are living right now; only 4 miles up the road. At that time I had one at school and 2 babies at home and life was hectic.While strolling along the high street, on the way to our weekly Mother and baby group, I regularly passed a shop that I liked the look of, but wouldn't dream of entering. At that time our furniture was practical, wipe clean and usually from Ikea. And that's how we liked it. But even then I had a...
