As promised..the summertime giveaway, you know what to do...leave a comment on this post and you will be in the draw...(knitted cup cake, hair clip and gingham button pegs)...
How can that be...only two weeks left of the summer holidays...well I plan to make the most of every moment with my guys..so I will be off line and as soon as I return I will pick the winner...
So its been a holiday made up of special moments with special people...we have been away a lot, as much BEACH TIME as we can manage and a few days out to various places. Eating outdoors has been a major part of our holiday time with picnics and BBQs...you just can't beat eating outdoors, especially with children, less mess to clear up and they eat so much more and food they would not normally eat...
Water is a big feature of our time out and about, from the wild sea to the calmness of the canals...
and why does Hot Chocolate always taste so good when your all sandy and curled up after a chilly dip in the sea?
For some reason when I look at my summer photos there are so many pictures of daisy's, I think they sum up our time together, simple, sweet and a wonderful symbol of summer time fun...

Summer giveaway...
Summer has been all about knitting socks...addictive! Lots of plans for new sewing designs and makes are all ready to be put in to action come September but, for now I am enjoying as much 'play time" with my children...We have a cool camping trip planned, to spend a week body boarding...the camper van needs a good clean out as we have not made the use of her this season, we have new body boards so there is no stopping us...unless it rains...Ahhhh camping in the rain!!!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful comments made on my last post, what can I say...you guys are the best!
Wishing you a healthy and happy couple of weeks and may you be blessed with good weather...

Ah-ha, once again we are split over the summer holidays. You see two weeks left as a sad thing, I see two weeks left and think "Hurrah!!"
But as you mentioned in your last (very thought provoking) post, we are all different, and there's nothing wrong in that.
I hope you and your boys have a brilliant couple of weeks, and that the weather is kind to you when you're camping.
:)
ps. One final thought on the mothering thing; I wish you were my mum. But as you're MUCH too young for that, I wish you were my girl's mum ...
What lovely giveaway gifts! Count me in on the fun :o) Summer is waning...soak up the last tastes of summer while she's here! Happy Days...

I just read your post prior to this one and can totally understand you. I am just starting the motherhood journey and find it already difficult to take the attention away from my bump and all the new things I am experiencing. I think it is wonderful how you are enjoying your kids. I want to do the same thing when mine comes to the world. :)
Have a great weekend. x
