White

The Gallery prompt for this week is White. I wasn't going to take part this week as we've been so busy and me and OH were going away for a few days. 


That was until on the way to our little getaway I saw the most gorgeous views and OH stopped the car so I could take some pictures.  They are taken on my phone.

 This last one was taken as we left the hotel.

Celebration - BG's 2nd Birthday!

This weeks Gallery prompt is celebrations, which is perfect at it was BG's 2nd Birthday on Saturday.


We had a open house with people popping in and out. I cooked a huge pot of soup, baked a loaf of bread and roasted a chicken, nice and simple.


And of course made BG a Oh Ah Cake!


BG wasn't really quite sure what was going on but enjoyed spending the day with her family. She got some lovely presents but wasn't spoilt to much.


So here are some of our celebrations....

Black and White

This weeks Gallery prompt is Black & White. I know that there are going to be some stunning photos this week but to me my picture is very, very special to me...

This is BG's 20 weeks scam and the reason I choose it this week is not just because its an amazing picture of my unborn child but because on Saturday that little blob turns 2!


Yes my little Baby Girl will be two years old and I can't believe it. She is the most amazing thing that has ever happen to me and I'm so grateful that she is here.

Before and After

This weeks Gallery prompt is Before and After, we have to take a picture from the past and recreate it.

Here's mine....

Before

This is one of those random photo's you take. Me and BG were having a snuggle on sofa when and I took the picture with my phone, she was 6 months old.

This is us on Sunday, BG is now 23 months old!! I can't believe how grown up she is getting.

After

The grin on her face is her saying cheese, I can't get a proper smile out of her any more!!

The Gallery - Back To School

I hated school, I mean really hated it with a passion. If I could get away without going I would and to be honest all I had to say to my Mother is I didn't want to go in and I didn't have to. I was bullied at school, I had every school girls nightmare, I was overweight, had frizzy hair, severe acne, glasses and braces, the bullies had a field day with me. How I walked away with any GCSE's was a miracle but I did, I got 5 C's, 3 B's and 2 D's.


I haven't go many pictures of me at school, my step-dad wouldn't buy the ones of me he always complained my tie was too short or I had too much make up on. The only one I have is the group on taken in my last year at school.

You can find me 2nd from the right, 3 rows up (you can see all that hair)


I played around with 6th and college but left with only an AS Level.


When I was 21 I went back to school (see what I did there), I did an access course and then a degree. As I mentioned earlier I got 2 D's in my GCSE's, one of those was Maths. I'm not that bad at maths but I'm awful at maths exams. It took me 5 attempts to get a C, you have never seen someone so happy to get a C in her life.

My other D was in Business Studies, I subject I later got an AS Level in and then a degree in (well Business and Law if you really want to know)


So this is my proudest back to school picture, me graduating at the grand age of 26.

The Gallery - Sunday 29th August 2010

Sunday 29th August 2010 is a very important day. This is the day that Josie, Sian and Eva three amazing Mummy Bloggers are going to Bangladesh to see the work that Save The Children do over there. I urge you to check out their blogs and twitter and follow their journeys.

The Gallery prompt was simple this week take a picture on Sunday 29th August 2010, we all have to take a picture on the same day. 


I've been taking pictures all day but this one is my favourite, I am so grateful for my family and the life we live, we are very fortunate to have a roof over our heads, food on the table and  good health. BG will never have to know the hardship that the children in Bangladesh do, she gets to live a carefree childhood. I hope that one day the unnecessary deaths and poverty will end for these children and their families and they can smile like BG.

Don't forget to visit the Gallery on Wednesday to see all the other pictures.

Good luck ladies, have an amazing trip.

PS this is my 200th post and I'm glad I used it for this 

The Gallery - A Memory

The Gallery prompt this week is A Memory, this is actually really hard because there are some many to choose from.


I though long and hard about this and decided to just look through my photo's to see what popped in my head and this is what I found.


This was taken in 2007, so pre BG. Me and OH had decided to take a trip to Skegness, it was our first trip to the seaside together.


It was a very windy and cold day but that didn't stop us having fun. We walked along the seafront, spent far to much money in the arcades (OH learnt about my addiction to penny slots), I made him play bingo.


On our walk back to the car with our freshly made doughnuts there was a crowd of people looking and staring at the fountain, we had to have a look of course.


Someone had added some sort of bubble mixture to the water in the fountain and this it what happened....

It's one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.


For me one of the strongest things that evokes memories for me is music, the album Lost Highway by Bon Jovi had just been realised so I had been listening it to death and annoying OH with it. I couldn't write this post without leaving you with a track from the album, I though this one was apt...


You Want To Make A Memory!!

The Gallery - Emotions

The subject for this weeks Gallery is emotions, now its a special Gallery this week as its teaming up with Sleep Is For The Weak Writing Workshop, which means only one post to do this week! 

Its a tough trying to put words and pictures together and me being a dumb blonde came up with a great idea then realised that the word I was thinking of wasn't actually an emotion so I'm kinda cheating!

I feel frustrated, sad, depressed, worried, despair, angry and miserable when I am tired. 

I feel happy, gleeful and loving when I am tired.

I'm quite often tired, almost everyday. 

Today I am tired,

I was tired yesterday,

And I will be tired tomorrow

Today I am a Mum,

I was a Mum yesterday,

And I will be a Mum tomorrow. 

That makes me happy,

And the tiredness slips away.

BG Meets An Elephant

 

This weeks theme on The Gallery is Creatures, now I'm not really a pet person so we don't have any at the New Mummy house. I'm allergic to cats but BG has fallen in love with them. OH's sister has a cat and BG goes mad every time she sees it and chases after it. 

The nearest she gets to a pet at home in the random cat that appears in our garden most days, it sleeps out there and keeps BG amused by trying to get in the patio doors. 

BG recently meet an elephant, if you look closely you can actually see her saying 'Ahhh'

Don't forget to pop over on Wednesday to see everyone else's pictures.
