Project Life 2013: Week 10
Wow what a difference to last week - I've LOVED completing this week.
Thanks to my sister-in-law Liz for the handbag idea. Check out her blog - 30 Days of Lists.
The receipt, ticket and a mountain of pens was found in my handbag - what's hiding in yours?
Mothers day is always really special, and this year Tom seemed to have a better understanding. He made me breakfast and was nice to me all day. I had 3 beautiful cards (2 hand-made) a bunch of daffodils and a notebook especially to document my project life. Phil made lunch and we enjoyed a lovely Moore family day. The photo of Grace and Tom is so cute. I'm sure all 4 mums enjoyed the day - thanks to both of my boys for a special day. x

- Felt better by not feeling pressured to take a photo everyday.
- Enjoyed backing some photos and journaling with this weeks colour choice.
- Tried stamping again.
- Loved included a quote from Tom.
- Left more white space/borders around my pictures.
- I find it so much easier planning my week before printing out any pictures.

Project Life 2013: Week 9
Wow March has started!!!
I am a week behind in finishing this and I have to admit it's the first week I've thought - oh no I can't be bothered :( having said that I'm pleased with the result.
Page 1:
My favourite picture is of my shoes - whoops!! I can't believe I took two right shoes into work. Lucky for me I keep two pairs of shoes under my desk a flat and healed pair (phew).
Page 2:
Insert:
On Sunday we completed a lovely walk near Eastwood in Nottingham. It you want to enjoy a cream-tea or just pop in for a cuppa I can recommend Beauvale Priory where we enjoyed a beautiful relaxing lunch before finishing off the walk.
Tom's writing and drawing is my favourite addition to this week:
March is a whole new month and one I cherish for many reasons:
I'm ready to start Week 10 now. My challenge is to include another quote from Tom.

- Spring is on the way.
- Its the start of the new Formula 1 season.
- Easter is early this year.
- The Mornings and Evenings are getting lighter
- It's my birthday at the end of the month.

Project Life 2013: Week 8
Half Term Holidays can be so much fun.
Monday we headed off to a National Trust - Cliveden House. We started from the Woodlands Car Park and walking into the estate before enjoying a coffee. We walked around the grounds, through the maze and playpark, before heading back to the car park - 5 miles was exhausting but fun.
Tuesday was spend with Friends in our local park and on the scooter/ramp park. We've also been lucky with the un-usual warm weather. Phil and Tom ventured out of a bike ride in the afternoon. Such lovely weather
Wednesday we headed off to York with a school friend to visit the Jorvik Viking Museum. I have to admit it is interesting, but i'm not sure if the wait outside (in the freezing cold) or the shortness of the attraction that makes it a bit disappointing. Luckily we had found a free child voucher on-line before we left. It was Viking Week in York and Tom just as much enjoyed all the free attractions. After lunch we found some Sword Combat Training in The Merchant Adventurer's Hall, they kids loved it. Such a fab day, just ashame it was bitter cold.
Thursday - Homework and a day chilling at home after Tom miss-behaved a bit yesterday. He has been told how we feel and now has to earn treats. We visited Great Gran and Granny and Grandad Moore
Friday - we took a drive out to a cold Buxton in the Peak District. We enjoyed playing the Yellow Car Game on Route - Tom won by: 19, Phil 18, Tracey 10. (I'm hoping to include this in a future week). We enjoyed coffee and feeding the ducks in the Pavilion Gardens. On the way to tea we found a park (Whitworth) in Darley Dale where Tom enjoyed riding his scooter on the bowl. For tea we met up with Aunty Clare and Uncle Matt. I can't believe how cold it was today, brrrrrrr - it even started snowing!
Saturday - was a girls day Scrapbooking, Tom played nicely while we all enjoyed our challenge of making a list about us to match our age. Thanks for joining me Clare and Liz. Lets hope next time we meet one of you can come up with a challenge. See my previous blogs for the pages I made. We also had friends visit for take-out Chinese tea.
Sunday - Phil and Tom head out to the local ramp park for Tom to practice more on his Scooter, I was cleaning the house. After a cooked Sunday lunch Toms friend came to play while we enjoyed tea and a natter. Tonight has been playing board games before returning to work tomorrow.
Phew - what a fab week!!!!!!
I've found this week hard with little motivation for completing the page so i'm pleased I'm finished. Having said that I am enjoying the challenge of documenting my week. Ive managed to catch up with being a week behind, I wonder what the future holds. :) :)

Project Life 2013: Week 7
Happy Pancake & Valentines Week!!!!
What a fun filled week we have had.
The week started with making Pancakes. Tom couldn't wait to flip the pancake and also fill them. This year we had a choice of fillings (of cause Tom wanted to try them all in one pancake!!):
- Sugar
- Lemon
- Orange
- Chocolate Spread
- Chocolate chucks
Tom made two cards Valentine cards to give to friends, he made them himself and was very excited. He also got a handmade one in return. :)
My Valentine card was downloaded from here. Thanks to Leslie Miller fofor the free download. X
The weekend is the start of Half Term so we headed to our friend Nigel's for a sleepover and a trip to London. On Saturday Tom wanted to visit the Dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum. It's such a wonderful building - a must for everyone visit. The queues for the London Eye were massive, so we took a walk to Piccadilly for donuts instead. The boys also entertained themselves playing live Top Car Trumps.
I've included the tube ticket behind the journaling.
On Sunday we head to Brooklands Museum for the day. It would have been such an inspiring circuit, and a massive shame it is not in use today. We stayed all day and still didn't have enough time to visit concord, looks like we will be going back again. :)
This week I've also added an insert to keep some of the memorabilia from the weekend. The long landscape photo was taken on Phil's Samsung phone. It shows the entrance to the Museum.
