I was recently asked if I would like to review a photo-canvas from www.photo-canvas.com. Mr B and I had actually been thinking for some time now that we should really do something with some of our honeymoon photos so we were delighted when this opportunity arose. Photo-canvases are becoming an increasingly popular way of displaying digital photos and at www.photo-canvas.com your picture is printed on a woven canvas which is then hand-stretched over a strong, anti-warping frame. It took me a while to decide on which photo to send them but eventually I decided on this one. This shot ...

#ISpy #2: I spy with my little eye something beginning with i
Hola hola folks! I trust we are all well? I am in fine fettle today as it is my very own THIRD wedding anniversary. THREE years! Whoop. Cue cheesy wedding shot. Sorry, I couldn't resist. There are no I's to guess here. At least I don't think so? Extra points if you find any. So, enough of the matrimonial-malarkey and on with the game. This week we are playing... "I spy with my little eye something beginning with i." Bit of an easier one this week after out-foxing you all with my g, *evil cackle*. Please leave me your guesses below and for those ...
Overheard: On the train
"Well I was clucking man. Saw this geezer, blackberry out, city-type, dumbass. Figured I'd 'ave that, right. Hot as you like though. Couldn't shift it. Swapped it with my mate for a bag of C. MAJOR stuff mate. Buzzing so high man got woken by the pigs, face down in a field. Got done with possession." "Shit man." "Shit." "Where did you go man?" "Exeter." "Exeter ain't so bad." "Nah, it was right." "Just got outta Preston." "Preston is awesome man." "Yeah, Preston is the shit man. Not like The Isle of Wight. That nick is shit man. But Preston is the ...
#ISpy #2: I spy with my little eye something beginning with H.
It is Wednesday again peeps which can mean only one thing. Opera glasses at the ready as it is time for some spying Mum-of-One-style. This week brings us back to... "I spy with my little eye something beginning with h." This week I think H should be for Hot, Harassed, Hysterical, Hissy-fitting toddler. This Humidity is doing nothing to aid the beginning of the terrible twos in our House. Heaven Help me! Anyway, on a brighter note I think I FINALLY have an entry to keep you guessing, and here it is... This should be one to challenge even the most spookily-spot-on-spyer ...
Rally
Rally Defn: To call together for a common purpose. There has been some proper rallying amongst the blogging community this week. Something which has astounded me somewhat. It is easy to forget sometimes how kind and genuinely good-hearted most people really are. It began when many of us were horrified to read this post. For those of you who don't follow her blog Clara is a wonderful blogger, mummy to Beans who is 19months old, and wife to Daddy-to-Beans. Since giving birth to Beans she has battled with severe post-natal depression and, despite her own troubles, has worked ...

Please leave me your Guesses below and feel free to Grab the badge. The magical linky-list awaits you too. Greetings! <div ...
The Morning After
So last night the Olympic ceremony came to a pretty jubilant close. And what a finish. Today I feel somewhat bereft. I really don't watch a lot of sport on TV these days. I love the boxing but it is generally on way too late for me. The golf and the tennis, *yawns*, are always on in our house as Mr B is an avid fan and I find them quite therapeutic. Other than these and some of the more high profile footie matches that's about my limit. So, I really didn't think the Olympics would have much of an impact on me. How wrong was I. I have loved it. Every minute. I became ...
Trunki: A fun suitcase for children
We were delighted earlier this summer when we were asked to review a Trunki suitcase for Idealo. They kindly sent W a Green T-Rex Trunki suitcase for use over the summer holidays. For those who have yet to see them the Trunki is a small colourful suitcase designed specifically for children. Each has a fun design, in our case a dinosaur. It has fast become one of his favoured posessions and has imaginatively been nick-named Rex. So far we have taken Rex on trips to stay with both grandparents and actually played with it a great deal at home too pulling it along, and riding on it across, the ...
