PINTEREST ....... I LOVE IT !!

I've just discovered PINTEREST. Well I've known about it for a while, but never really done anything with it.

You know how you find something nice, but you're not really that sure of what you are doing and so you don't do anything.  Well sometimes anyway.

Finally I decided to go and have a look,  a proper look at Pinterest and now I LOVE IT !!  I am totally hooked on it.

I've got a board called MOVIES on my Pinterest and this movie is on there.

This is on my CHRISTMAS board.  I love these stars ... they look awesome.

Oh there are so many cool and wonderful ideas on here relating to Christmas.  I feel Christmas will never be the same again.

I love the fact that you can go to other people's boards and get ideas from there.

I love all the ideas that people have ...... some of the things are just so beautiful.  I love the fact that there are so many gorgeous things in one place.

Oh, and I'm so into reading and I found this on Bookfari and absolutely loved it.  So I added it to Books board on Pinterest.

I could sit here for hours reading ..... Love all the storage in this area.  All my books in one place (well not quite).  I have way too many books, I admit that.  Books are my weakness, I confess.

The library is my second home.  Oh but not if I had this in my home.

This water feature was in the garden of a special friend of mine and I love it.  I thought it was so nice and pinned it on my For the Home board.

So people, I'm hooked.  I love Pinterest.  I love all the ideas that are there.  All the nice things.  I love the idea of pinning these things on boards of your choice.  I love the idea of sharing these things with other people and them sharing with you.

So Pinterest, you get the big thumbs up from me.

MONDAY AND THE START OF A NEW WEEK

Here we are, another Monday, and already it's the 5th of January. Doesn't time fly. There is such a build up to Christmas and then before you know it, it's the New Year. Now I don't mean to scare anyone or anything, but can you believe that the kids go back to school in just over 3 weeks. It only seems like yesterday that they went on holidays.



During these holidays my 17 y/old daughter and I have been to see 2 movies, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. The first was Marley and Me.....based on the book by John Grogan.



This book was absolutely wonderful and was a laugh a minute with the antics that Marley got up to. Whilst I don't think that the movie was quite as funny as the book, I still think that it was well work seeing. I have just discovered that John Grogran has now brought out another book called The Longest Trip Home: a Memoir. If this book is anything like Marley and Me it will be a good read.

The 2nd film that we went to see was Bedtime Stories. I thoroughly recommend this film to anyone who wants to take their kids to see a good movie. I loved it and I would certainly go and see it again. I am not a fan of Adam Sandler as a rule, but he was terrific in this movie.

I guess it reminded me of the time when my kids were young and I would put my kids to bed. As you are sometimes, I would feel really tired and wouldn't much feel like reading a story to them from a book, so instead I would tell them a story that I made up in my head. The story always had a little girl or boy with the same name as the child I was telling the story to, and they could never work out how the story came to have a child in it with their name. To my children it was amazing. Isn't that the wonderful thing about the innocence of children.
