Bits and Pieces from our lives lately...

Well life has been busy and interesting as we prepare for our move to a new environment we have had many everyday experiences that I know I will love to look back on and remember about in days to come.

So for a mostly visual and light on words look at what we have been doing, please continue browsing.

Above we have the younger children bringing around the old clothesline posts for fire wood. I loved how they were using the billy cart and how Trahaearn started to run over to be part of the action.

Making Iced Coffee! Yes even in Winter cause I couldn't wait till Summer to try this great recipe

Drying Apples in our dehydrator. They did not last long and oh how much better they tasted than the store bought ones.

Drying tomatoes too as we  have a lot of dried tomatoes in salads and I wanted to try homemade ones

Bundling up for walks of an afternoon

Saxon carrying Arwen for a while

Vellvin helping our sweet dumpling after he was tired of walking

Bike riding in the wind.......an activity I still love

Putting our dried tomatoes in herbs and olive oil, just like the store bought ones

It is time for more mud kitchen play

And like a real kitchen there is always the clean up to contend with

Dressing up as a princess, part of daily life

A great Sunday lunch or brunch really_ fried tomato, mushroom, onion, Greek feta cheese, ham and eggs. Oh, this was a spectacular meal!

Sewing nighties for Vellvin and Arwen, as well as the unpicking as I made a couple,  well a few mistakes. Including sewing one of Arwen's sleeves to Vellvin's nightie and not noticing until I tried to do Arwen's sleeves

Playing in the trailer, a great cubby place

Pretend I-pod, cause the big kids have them!

Chicken soup. Heart and soul food!

Special pancakes for me. Makes me feel truly loved and blessed

Sisterly love, what more can I say.

After bath in a frog towel. Too cute for words

Tea cups are vital to daily life

Our hero as she ties up the 'badies.' Arwen is a hero everyday and has to dress up for it with a hat, kerchief and sword usually.

Spider knitting in bed

Having tea

Trying to join in said tea party

Loving her tea cup

Beautiful warm fire to be thankful for

Cooking the pancakes for lunch

Outside play again

Sweetness all round

Looking after baby brother

Putting puzzles together

Playing with the play scapes

So there you have it: bits and pieces from our lives lately.
Times to treasure and be thankful for in the everyday!

Blessings to you and your homes,
