'L and G fairy wings' by cate bruce-low

Tonight we are expecting a visitor. The Tooth Fairy should be on her way to our house right now. I hope she doesn't get lost as she's never been before. The whole first wobbly tooth affair has been rather bittersweet - well for me anyway. She is joining her friends on the gappy-mouthed stage of their childhood. She is growing up. This is exciting. I can't wait to see what kind of big girl my little little girls turns into. But at the same time I'm sad. My baby is definitely a baby no more. Also there is a shallow part of me worrying that her new teeth won't be as perfect as her old baby ones.

So, inspired by the day's events I went searching for fairy photos. I was rather taken by this one. These children look so engrossed in playing together. I wonder what the game was that required dressing up in fairy costumes. I think it is interesting that the room is relatively plain but to them it could be a magical fairy kingdom. Or perhaps the game didn't involve fairies, they just happened to be in fairy dresses. I also wonder whether something interesting was happening outside or whether they were just playing on the window sill. I love it when a photo makes me ask so many questions.

And oh look it's Friday - so let me just wish you all a happy weekend!

My awesome hubby bought me new Converse today to cheer me up as I've not had a great week. Job done, a new pair of Chucks is an instant mood lifter! I really need to get a photo of all my Converse trainers as I am sure it'd actually make for a rather cool image. I think the last time I did a group shot there were five pairs and I have seven pairs now! And before you ask, yes I do actually wear all of them regularly. You can tell by how bashed up they're all starting to look.

This fantastic photograph has help me make a decision. I am so buying my son a pair of red ones when he's able to walk! I'm not sure I actually fancy red for myself but they look so cool on kids!

Hope you all had a great weekend and have a fab week ahead to look forward to.

'Loves of my life' by Me

I love my children so much. That's a given when you are a parent though isn't it? You are meant to love your children more than words. I knew I would, I've always known I wanted children and that I would love them unconditionally but it's not until you actually have children that you realise what that love feels like. There are no words really are there? Makes it a bit daft trying to write a blog post about it then so here is a photo which I am so pleased I managed to capture and that will always make my heart swell. My son and my daughter already love each other to pieces and this makes me so happy.

Couldn't resist a soppy one tonight as I've had a lovely day at home chilling with my little family in the sunshine. My husband, my daughter, my son - they all make me smile. Here is a photo of my kids having a cuddle. My daughter adores her little brother and has been so wonderful at helping look after him. I am sure they'll grow up to be best of friends and will always be there for each other.
