A little update!.

Hello!.

 Apologies as I know I have been very quiet on the blogging front. My little girl has been very poorly and we spent most of the weekend in hospital. Thankfully she is on the road to recovery!. I just thought I would do a post with some pictures and let you know what we have been up to over the past few days, as I have a little one to nurse so must be quick!.
 

There has been lots of activity at the house. My husbands dad has been painting Poppy's room and my dad has been tiling the bathroom. Aren't we lucky to have such lovely pa's!.

I was asked to do the window display for Le salon chic again. If you remember I did one back in December see here The theme was Valentines. Unfortunately as Pops was in hospital I didn't get to help put the display together, but I gave all my props to the girls, and I think you will all agree it looks fabulous!.

As Pops is feeling much better today we decided to plant our strawberry and tomato seeds. They are sitting on the kitchen side just waiting for a sunny day.

Pops favourite medicine has been the Beatles song 'When I'm 64'. We have listened to it on repeat for 3 days! And she now knows nearly all the words. If your feeling a bit low, stick it on!.



 And last but not least I have been putting together a proposal for my book see here I didn't quite realise myself how passionate I felt about the whole thing. And its been so therapeutic after a stressful few days. Definitely a good distraction!.

 I hope you are all well and I will be back to regular posts by the weekend.

A vintage mothers adventure.

So here is my news. I probably sound a little mad, no in fact definitely sound like a mad crazy woman. But this is it.
 After receiving an email from a lovely lady that reads my blog that went along the lines of,

 'I love reading your vintage family posts on your blog. You couldn't be more right in your views. We could all learn a lot from them!. You should write a book!.'

 Well, I think I'm going too!!. Yes, your right I haven't a clue how to write a book. Or even where to start but from that one little email I have this idea. An idea along the lines of;

 'A vintage mothers guide to life'.

Imagine a book full of nostalgic ideas, views, real life experience all from yester year. Then having a manual on how to bring those into your modern family life. How to incorporate the wonderfulness that was the 1950's family. From family time, holidays, housekeeping EVERYTHING!. The years gone by had some seriously good stuff going on and I am so passionate about bringing them into the modern family and I truly believe they can help provide a stable, happy, healthy lifestyle.

 So this is it, the first day of my writing adventure. My year 6 teacher Miss O'Hara told me that one day I would be a writer. I got a little preoccupied somewhere between 6th form and motherhood but this is it!. I'm going to go for it. It may be a book, a manual or just something for me to hand down to my daughter. But whatever it will turn out to be, I have nothing to loose. And I am so excited.
