Kate On Thin Ice is looking for 90 bloggers to write 90 words about an important woman in their life and join in her blog hop. You can link up here. My mother in law. One of the most inspirational women in my life. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, the year before our wedding. A huge shock, but determined to beat the horrible illness that affects many other women. Chemotherapy, hair loss, and a mastectomy later, she came through the other side. She is now in remission but has to have check ups every now & then. A true fighter. A fighter who …

Showering a baby with cakes
No, I’m not actually going to be showering my baby with cakes, just thought I would try and get your attention! (Although I’m sure he would smell very yummy afterwards! Teehee!) What I actually mean is, I’m currently planning my baby shower, just two weeks to go now and I’m very excited! Fun games are planned, with prizes for the winners; nibbles and cake will also be involved! A perfect girly night in – chit chat, cake and babies! And that’s where the cake part comes in… I’m going to be making & selling cakes for the Cake A Difference charity event …
33 weeks
Sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL since Wednesday, didn’t realise it was that long! So anyway, I was 33 weeks pregnant on Sunday, that’s just another 7 weeks to go… We are practically all sorted for his arrival now, just awaiting on his wheels getting here, hopefully sometime this week!

Last night …
The Circle Of Life
As I mentioned in one of my previous blog posts from earlier this month, my Nan died a couple of days after Christmas. It was an absolutely heartbreaking time for the whole family, but she is now out of pain, and happy I hope, happier than she has been in a long time. Of course I was extremely upset and it was, still is, painful, and I still can’t believe she’s gone. But, I said to myself, and to my husband, it’s just the circle of life – she was obviously making room for our little man (and my cousin’s, …
32 weeks (and a bump pic)
Sunday was the 32 week mark for me, my goodness how it’s flying in! 8 weeks (supposedly…) to go. We got our cotbed over the weekend which BIL very kindly bought for us from a friend, it’s a discontinued one, but it’s the Dorchester by Cosatto, and we very much love it. Husband assembled it yesterday and then we had a few moments just standing looking at it, and yes, I cried! Just imagining our little boy in there in a few months made me quite emotional. We’ve decided on a theme for his room too, which is ‘cute’ cars, …
