Silent Sunday – Time to Bake!
January Bake It! Club – Sundried Tomato & Cheese Scones
Yay - The Bake It! Club is back for January! If you don't know what it is all about pop over to Cooking, Cakes & Children and read all about it! If you love baking and trying new recipes you should definitely take part each month! I absolutely love scones, they were one of the first things I started to bake when I was younger so I was delighted to see this month's recipe - sundried tomato and cheese scones! I had never tried to bake a savoury scone before (nor had I ever tasted one … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Children
I wasn't going to take part in this week's Gallery as I don't have any children. Any "human" children anyway. But then I figured a photo opportunity with new puppy Holly and her big brother Chester was too good to miss. Plus they are my doggy children anyway lol ;). Holly arrived on Monday and she is settling in so well. It really helps that we have Chester here as they just spend their time playing, I don't think she has had time to miss her mum or her litter-mates! She really is a wee … [Read more...]
Think You Know Your Star Sign?
Think again! It was announced during last week that US astronomer Parke Kunkle has discovered that there may actually be 13 star signs, not 12! He claimed that due to the gravitational pull of the moon, the star signs have "slipped" resulting in them being one month out of orbit. This means that the time periods for the star signs will have changed and it introduces the 13th star sign, Ophiuchus. Hmmm, all very well but what about the people who have spent a fortune getting their birth … [Read more...]
No Puppy Yet…
Those of you who follow me on Twitter (@NicsNotebook) will no doubt know that we can't pick up our new puppy Holly today as planned. Boooo :( Our other pup Chester has had a bad tummy bug for the last week or so. We had to take him to the vets and she advised to hold off on getting Holly until Chester is 100% better in case he passes it on to her. Which would not be good. So, we are aiming for Monday now, hopefully Chester will be fully recovered by then. He is not too bad now, but we are … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Mother Nature
This photo was taken this morning on Chester's walk (he is feeling a little better now!). It was a lovely bright, sunny, frosty morning. This photo would have been perfect if we were in Scotland eh? Check out the other entries at Sticky Fingers. … [Read more...]
Good Things and Bad Things
Good things today have been: I received the following in the post: Good Things - literally! I won this in a competition at Fashion Champagne blog and I was so thrilled to get it. My skin is really playing up at the minute so maybe a new skincare routine is what it needs? These products are all free from Sodium Laureth Sulphate, Parabens, Mineral oils and Animal ingredients and are all made from superfruit extracts. I had a quick sniff of the strawberry & cranberry freshening … [Read more...]
One Week….
...Until we get to bring Baby Holly home! Yay, I am actually so excited. The reality will hit me on Friday though of the amount of cleaning up pee I will have to do - but until then I can be excited! Might have a wee look around this weekend for some cute puppy toys :). We went to see her last Saturday and we took Chester too. They had a good sniff around each other when they were introduced and he was so good and very gentle with her. Chester also got to meet his doggy mummy, Daisy for the … [Read more...]
