Life's ups and downs, a personal journey.
Yesterday I didn’t post my updates as I was tired when I got home, I just settled and surfed for a little while. The morning was Sol’s blood test to check her kidney function. She was very brave, we had applied the numbing cream that she had been prescribed and the nurse sprayed her arm […]
MoreIn Northern Ireland we have a special little language. A lot of our words are derived from Ulster Scots language, and some areas it is used more than others. It’s funny because I lived in Scotland for a few years as a child, and now I currently live in Northern Ireland, I think I’m a […]
MoreI bake so much you guys must think I am always eating. I don’t eat everything myself, there’s six in my family plus a couple extras that hang around a lot. I usually have a slice of everything I make and the rest is eaten by everyone else, sometimes I share with neighbours too, sometimes […]
MoreToday has been a fairly uneventful day which included errands and fuelling up my car. I think these days are boring for a reason, it gives me plenty time to be productive around the house. As I write this post I am noticing that I did indeed miss a big patch of floor in the […]

On Shrove Tuesday we traditionally use up and feast on all the rich foods before Lent. In our house the children are all brave […]
MoreFour candles, not fork handles like that Two Ronnie sketch we all love. Go and look on YouTube if you are wondering what I am talking about. My husband was working in a town about 30 miles away and there’s a decent shopping centre near it so he offered to take us and drop us […]
MoreI really don't intend on this blog to be a sales piece for my store but there are certainly times when I just want to share something with you. I will do it now and just leave it at that. What Is So Special About Amanda Anne Rings? What is really so special about our […]
MoreI have currently got the best job. I just opened a little store, nothing fancy but everything in it is pretty and girly. It's new, and I have been working hard getting it organised and ready for the opening tomorrow. Previously I sold baby things and was a power seller on eBay and sold privately […]
