1. Our little Tinkerbell continues to grow and play. we adore her and fight over the cuddles she gives out. she recently has been exploring our garden under supervision and its so sweet watching her sniff about and chase flies and pounce on flowers ( actually that last ones not so cute)
Here are some photos taken of her over the last couple of months
oh.. Ill just watch this episode of garfield and then I think Ill have a lay down
2. Lily is loving the summer days as am I. We had a couple of horrid weather weeks but this week we have been having very hot weather. We like going to the park on warm days, putting down our checked blanket and having picnics and running around ( that's not me though , that's Lily)
3. I have become a gardener. I don't know how it happened and I don't profess to be good at it but I have a keen interest and take photos obsessively of my flowers and plants as they grow and bloom. I water and deadhead and just sit and look at them all. I found these photos of my spring garden and beautiful tulips
4. I have been utterly inspired by the website pinterest. I have so many ideas in my head I don't know where to start. 5.I started fertility treatment this month. I'm taking clomid to induce ovulation. I was so HOT when I was taking the pills for the 5 days it was absolutely crazy. I just hope and pray it is working. I can honestly say Ive never been so emotional and up and down in my life as this last 8 months when I realised that we had a problem. please keep your fingers crossed for me.
6. I'm throwing a baby shower for a dear friend of mine. We are making and baking and creating. Its been really great and Ive developed a need to make tissue paper pom poms.
7. My little baby is learning to read. Only 4 still and can read a small first reader. I cant quite believe how fast its gone. only 4 more weeks left of reception. its gone too fast
8.I'm loving hollumi cheese . I grill it and put it on roasted veg with red lentils or I put it on tabbouleh salad . totally delicious
9.cupcake baking and icing is the forefront hobby at the moment. I'm not certain my figure thanks me but my tum tum and taste buds do
10. My mum arrives in 4 and a half week . hurrah! we have lots planned including Disneyland Paris . Too excited!

Your girls, both of them, are beautiful. And of course our brown mouse paws are crossed for you :)
Delightful!
I have my fingers crossed that the fertility treatments are a 100% success and very, very soon!
Congratulations to Lily on the reading! A whole enormous world is opening up for her - just through books!
;o)

I am always so excited when you post a new blog. Lovely stuff!!!
Can't wait to meet Tinkerbell, can't wait to hear Lily read to me out of a book, can't wait to see your pretty garden, but most of all I cannot wait to see you all in the flesh, hug and kiss you, hold your hand and do all the lovely things we have planned. Mum xxxxx
What a lovely post, so glad that summer's finally arrived for you all.
Wish I could be there to join in for the baby shower, please send out photos!!
Well done to Lily on her first reading steps, I know that you take a lot of time reading to her and sharing books together, so I know that she is going to love books and reading. Funny that she's 4 and Jake's 7 and they're both learning to read! Jake's report was very good this term and his teacher said that he reads with fluency and enjoyment - what more could I ask for?
Enjoy the weekend and your garden!
Love Susie XXX
PS. I was thinking about baking with Jake this weekend. Cupcakes sound like a wonderful idea, although my waistline might not be so thankful either...
Love this post and all the pics, especially the one of Lily (I love the angle) and the one of Tink watching TV - lol.
Just want to send you a big hug xxx
What are you looking at on Pinterest? I am trying to figure it all out.
Have you read the blog Homemade By Jill? Link is on my blog. She has done some cool baby showers and used the pom poms. I think you might like her blog.
Best wishes with the fertility treatments. Fingers are crossed for you both.
Good job Lily for the reading, bless her she is growing up so quickly.
What cupcakes are you baking at the moment? I made a strawberry cake the other day and it was so good, it has inspired me to bake more which might not be good for my waist-line.
