Self Care Sunday

Taking the day off so today’s post is scheduled.

Attempting a day offline as a little self care.

Back tomorrow

Erk, Well Ok then…

Blog Everyday In November is going swimmingly, yes? I managed a couple of days and then promptly forgot about it. :/ So here’s a couple of days catch up

Photography

Here’s a pretty photo I took

Fireworks Night

Beautiful_sky_with_fireworks

I used to LOVE fireworks when I was little. It was my Grandad’s birthday around Cracker Night so we’d have a family get together with cake and fireworks.

Friday Night In

Ha this is me pretty much every week! Hubby goes out and plays D&D with his mates and I get to stay home. Depending on the kids, it’s either something on TV, baking or scrapbooking. I remember when Friday night in meant a bunch of mates coming round, lots of alcohol and loud music 😉

Unusual Hobby

I didn’t think I had unusual hobbies, then I went and googled “unusual hobbies”. As you do. Who would of known my love of haunting cemeteries (haha) actually had a name?

Taphophilia is a passion for and enjoyment of cemeteries. The singular term is a taphophile. It involves epitaphs, gravestone rubbing, photography, art, and history of (famous) deaths.

There you go. I love checking out local cemeteries and absorbing the history of the place. Which reminds me, it must be time for a photo walk again soon 😉

Food Glorious food

I’m such a foodie and I LOVE cooking. You can check out some of my favourite recipes by having a look on my Pinterest board or click on the following tags – Food, Thermomix, In the Den Kitchen

Love Mondays?

Kinda. I mean it’s the first work day back after the weekend (boo). Miss K is at school giving me more 1 on 1 time with Miss A (yay). So many days left til the weekend (boo) yet so many possible things we can do during the week & swimming lessons (yay)

So are you a fan of Mondays?

Something new about myself

Honestly I’m struggling to think of something new to share about myself.

You all know about my love of cooking, how I met hubby, my hobbies…..

…..

……

have I shared that I have a birthmark on my foot? No? Can’t remember. So there you go. My new fact to share with you all 😀

I’m taking part in Blog Every Day in November. You can sign up, find all the prompts and a list of participants here.

Blogging every day in November

Not as part of NaBloPoMo but as part of #BEDN. I do it in May and found out Elizabeth at Rosalilium does a November version as well. So I’m taking part. Back tomorrow with my first post 🙂

Time for some bloggy housekeeping

Yup, it’s time for the Biannual Blogathon Bash again. I’m planning on a smaller list this time around as Miss K has soccer tomorrow & Miss A has been pretty unsettled the last week (4 teeth last weekend!) and wanting her mum all the time. Just realised I’ve been taking part in this since 2013.

So here is my June 2015 list…

take part in at least 1 Twitter party
do a couple of the mini challenges
tidy my blog emails
get reviews written & up
write and schedule some posts
check old posts for broken links & missing images

Mini challenges (will add as we go along)

Instagram prompts (1,2,3,4,5)
