Thought I would play a little game.. getting us al

Thought I would play a little game.. getting us all chatting and interacting. I am one of those people that love to get to know other people’s quirts. 🤪 I also been known to be call weird on a few occasions myself. So come on... I will tell you mine if you tell me yours. 🥰🥰🥰.1. When I first get out of bed, I have to instantly make it. (With the hundred one various sizes pillows and cushions just right).
2. When I have a milkshake I have to have skinny french fries to dip in it. Has to be vanilla not chocolate.
3. I hate pickles. Or pickled anything it makes me think of sweaty sports shoes. 😝
4. If you move things in my house, I will know and I can’t sit and watch tv until they are moved back. My cousin once came to visit me and showed up before I got off work and rearranged all the shelves in my house 😱😱Took me half sec to notice.
5. If I am home alone I stay up way past midnight watching box sets but if everyone is home I somehow get tired and need my bed by 10pm lol 😂
6. I can bake and do nibbles well but I can’t cook meat very good. I always over do it in fear of undercooking it. Anyone else?
7. I take everything out of my closet once a year, clean the shelves and try everything on and only out back what I will wear. Then for a month I seem to have these new old clothes to wear again. 👍🏻
8. I make 15 pumpkin pies every year for family and friends but no one in my immediate family even like it so I actually don’t make one for us. 😂
9. I take hundreds of photos of the same thing before I usually settle on the first one I took to share lol 😝 Hubby says he can’t tell the difference, oh but I can!
10.I stuff all our shoes with dryer sheets to make them smell good.
11. If I like a top I buy it in every color 🤷‍♀️
12. I have yet to find a pair of shoes that don’t hurt my feet - flats or heels. 🤬
13. When I am mad, I scrub the house like a crazy person. When I am sad, I scrub the house like a madman. When I am happy, I think about scrubbing and find something more fun to do. 🤓How about you??? Come on weird food combos? Funny quirts? Any bad habits?

Came in from our make shift kitchen in the garage

Came in from our make shift kitchen in the garage to find these two playing dress up, snuggling and watching tv. She is mama number two for this little tot. It was the sweetest thing as they didn’t know I had walked in and she was stroking his back and talking about the show they were watching. It was a sweet moment to sneak upon and I love when I see my kids loving each other so much. I hope their bond stays forever strong. 💗

This little boy has put a smile on my face today.

This little boy has put a smile on my face today. Fridays are our days together. Sometimes we do lots and sometimes we just hang around the house snuggling and reading stories taking life at a slower pace. That is just what we needed today. He tells the funny jokes and his sense of humor is something to truly belly laugh over. Can’t deny his love for cars and tractors we have gone round and round with them all day. I love this age where everything is new and exciting to them. Where they copy everything you do and say like cute little puppets. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Hopefully weather gives us some blue skies for a nice family bike ride. #lifecloseup

Take me back to @windmillanimalfarm where the sky

Take me back to @windmillanimalfarm where the sky was blue, pumpkins were everywhere and the kids were happily giggling over a train ride and a corn maize. Today has been one of those days I would like to erase. Possibly all of 2020 too. But we won’t get dramatic. We have cancelled our trip to Wales and our trip to Hawaii this week. It seems we take one step forward and about four steps back. There is no light at the end of the tunnel when we keep going around in circles. The unknown scares me to death. The stress of trying to lead a normal life right now is heavy. It’s a lonely world now with new restrictions in a place I often already felt lonely being so far away from home and my family. The questions of when will I see my mom again and the rest of my family weigh hard on my shoulder. I keep wanting to pop on here with some good news but sadly I have no good to report today. So I am scrolling through sunny terms but emotionally and literally in my camera roll. Hope you all are keeping your head above water. #lifecloseup

When I am down I always start making homemade reci

When I am down I always start making homemade recipes in the kitchen. It’s therapeutic and cheers me up. There is something about creating something from nothing that feels like such a big achievement and if it turns out tasty even more so. Finding this week hard with our home out of sorts and my emotions out of sorts not being able to do the things that calm and center me. I am anxious about any new restrictions when I was only just beginning to feel half normal again when will it all end. I miss my family. I miss my friends. And in hard times such as losing a close friend so young I need them all more than ever and yet I can’t have them. We were praying my mom would be able to come visit but that looks bleak in light of the new tier system now too. 💔💔 so over covid and what the world is becoming in its path. So I have been burying my head in fabric options for chairs because somehow third world problems is a pleasant distraction at the moment. What do you do to distract yourself or calm you?

My little baker is missing the kitchen as much as

My little baker is missing the kitchen as much as I am right now. She has been such a great help in our little corner of the garage with our hot plate to create some make shift meals these past few weeks while we renovate the kitchen. A few things as you can expect have been delayed and our furniture looks like it will be February 😩😱🤪 for delivery so Christmas should be interesting on the floor but we are getting there. It will be so worth it I am told in the end. Either way it’s not stopped this one from getting her apron on and helping out at dinner time. I love that she loves baking and cooking as much as I do. Can’t wait till she can make me a full dinner on her own lol that will be luxury as I am the only cook in the house. Are you the chef or your partner or both? Do your kids love to help too? #kidsinthekitchen🍴 #kidsintekitchen #lifecloseup #kidscooking #kidsbaking

We did our annual trip to @windmillanimalfarm toda

We did our annual trip to @windmillanimalfarm today. It’s such a great day out for families. So much to do and see for the kids. Train rides, Corn Maize, Feeding the Animals, Pumpkin Picking and so much more!!! We got to introduce it to our friends. We thought it was the perfect place to introduce to them having all had a week full of lost and sadness we are trying to honor our friend passing away by living life to its fullest as she would have wanted us to do. But the day didn’t go without her on our minds and heavy in our hearts so we made sure her little boy and hubby had the best pumpkin picking day out ever!!! 💗💗

💔It’s been a tough week of trying to put a sm

💔It’s been a tough week of trying to put a smile on my face and holding my grief at bay. My Auntie B passed away earlier in the week and than my beautiful friend Suz was taken from us at 39 years old. Too young and unfairly. Having lost my dad and both grammas in the last eighteen months - death of a loved one doesn’t get easier no matter how many you lose. It becomes this ball of grief in your throat that you can’t swallow or consumes you at random unexpected moments. Eventually each death just becomes a numb part of you. I roll conversations and passed memories around in head over and over for each loved one constantly worried I will forget those amazing moments they touched my life. Wanting to remember how they made me and my life for the better. My friend was my first English friend thirteen years ago. We had our baby boys together and I will forever be grateful to have those memories with her and forever miss her ahead. I know she would say don’t cry, don’t moan, your alive so live!!! Already missing her dry wit and laughter but I will try to honor her wishes to live fully and look over her baby and hubby like my own family as I know she would have done for me if it was reversed. Life can be challenging and definitely in the last two years I have had SO much loss I often wonder how my heart can handle anymore but it will and we must cherish every breath and day we are granted on this earth and try our best to live fully as she would have wanted to do. Rest in peace my sweet angel friend. You will be forever missed but never forgotten!!!!! 💗💗💗💗
