Wicked Wednesday - In The Picture

My 4 year old is really coming along in the drawing department. Mummy is muchly proud of his "people" being an arty sort herself.

I do wish though he would use some colour though!!!

This is me - well the hair def looks like me 1st thing in the morning - uncanny.

This  is Old Mother Hubbard from Squiggle It or whatever its called. I can vouch for the likeness. 

No idea who these are although that top one could be Finley's' interpretation of Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

You can join in with the fabulous #wickedwednesday too.

Count Your Lucky Stars - March 17th ,2015 - Lucky To Be Here.

This month I have decided to link up with Kerri- Ann ( Life As Our Little Family ) & Sian ( Potty Mouthed Mummy) for this months Count Your Lucky Stars.

4 years ago ( this coming weekend to be exact) I had an operation that would change my life ,for the best hopefully forever. I have had Crohns Disease since I was 12 years old, although i was only diagnosed with it at 18. I was very lucky to get to 37 years of age before having any surgery but despite a very tough time for ages after my op I have finally accepted what was always the best thing for me.

I now have a stoma - please feel free to read this post with photos of my stoma bag if you wish...! At the time I was not very thankful but now despite the odd bad day or 3 I know how much better my quality of life is.

My youngest son was 7 months when I was taken to hospital & it was scary to wonder if this would be the last time I would see my children.

I know this is quite a serious one for a 1st posting but this just proves more how much I must count the blessings how lucky I really am to continue to watch these 2 Monkeys grow,

Why don't you join in too & tell us what you are thankful for?

Thank you for reading.

Outfits Of The Past Week

Here is what I have been wearing this week. 

Despite the more spring like weather I have still been sticking mainly to boots on my feet. In the 1st picture I am wearing my new H&M jeggings in dark green.  

I adore my camel cardigan from Next so much I ordered the grey too. Still wearing boots ....

Saturday I was helping at the school disco. I did take my camel Next cardigan to cover up with for walk to & fro but my top was very much in mind of how hot I would get whilst serving in the tuck shop. Then finally on Sunday I braved the weather more. I did have to come home after doing what I needed to & pop some leggings on underneath - seriously when I started the day I was boiling in what was a lovely day. 2 hours later it was grey & chilly again.

Anyway that's all from me today!

See you soon, Love Amanda x
