My Handbag

Ever get a missed call because you can't find mobile in your bag?? Has your 'designer' bag been demoted to changing bag status! Welcome to my world!!

I was tagged by the lovely Snafflesmummy to share the contents of my handbag. in the "What's in yours?" Meme.

Braving the elements in Disneyland Paris
(p.s. I was pregnant with Little A in this photo: very early days)

I got my Guess handbag for my 30th birthday! It was supposed to be for 'special occasions' but quickly became a permanent extension of my arm! It has evolved from being treated with great care and affection to being the holdall I stuff everything into!

It stores:

• My Guess wallet - that doesn't match my bag.
• Essential baby items: Nappies (Diapers to my US readers), wipes,baby bottle, carton of Aptamil, few sachets of Teetha.
• Make-up: Tinted Moisturiser, Mascara, Eye Cream, Lipstick ( I sometimes, discreetly, try to apply some/all of these while waiting in the car to collect Big A from school).
•  Bits and Bobs/Misc: Batteries (???), Sweets, Paracetamol, Big A hairclips, Scissors (to open Aptamil carton).

I hear ... I see

I hear foreign accents on TV, a cough, a baby snore, distant giggles, questions only a 3 year old would ask, my Husband answer them, my 5 year olds observations, my fingers tap, silence ...


I see our home, empty yogurt pots, family photos which remind me off wonderful times, a pushchair ready to unfold to bring us on adventures, candles - unlit. 


I feel happy, content, proud. 


I am a wife, mother, woman, learner, friend .

Dear Daddy in China

Dear Daddy in China

Today Mammy and Granny brought us to Dromoland as it was a lovely, Spring day. We brought bread for the ducks, loaded in our scooters and all jumped into the car.

When we arrived, Mr. R and Granny fed the ducks. Big A was afraid of them - all that quacking! Mr R scooted over to them and as you can see from the photos they all made a hasty retreat!!

  

We then went into the walled garden and did a lot of running!!!

Then we relaxed and posed for some photos.

Until Big A got sick of all the posing and demanded I stop!!

We had a great time. We don't have photographic evidence but there was a hill and we climbed and ran up it loads of times!!

After all that fun, we had refreshments in the restaurant. Little A had some of Mammy's soup and some crusty bread!

We all miss you Daddy and are looking forward to Sunday.

Love from Big A, Little A, Mr R and Mrs C!
