Visiting my friend Senan who is the same age as our baby in heaven, he's precious to me...

Put a down payment on my cabin to put in the garden to work from home. I'm so proud of this development in my business.

It's been so busy around here as you can tell! Very productive January, I can't wait to see what February brings!

20's night

This weekend my friends and I went to the 1920's night at a wonderful venue in town called "The vintage Tea Parlour" it was so much fun. We had a fabulous time dressing up!

Such a great night! I really hope we get to go to another one soon!

New Year's Eve 2017

New year's Eve was great fun this year! We've not been out for New Year in about 10 years, on our own that is!

This year we went to see our friends band play ' Sleeze & Cheese' our friend is the lead guitar, it's his biggest hobby so we wanted to be there for support!

It was a really great night, as a treat to myself as I was so busy over Christmas with work (so grateful) I had my hair and make up done and I felt great. I got Derek to take pictures of me in my new outfit too!

My friend's band... they were brilliant!

With my love ringing in 2018... my reason for everything and the love of my life...

The copious amounts of coffee today are definitely worth the late night!

Happy New Year! 

Christmas Day 2017

Christmas 2017 is coming to a close and what a wonderful day we had. We spent the day together as a family, enjoying our own magical traditions.

 Derek made the most delicious dinner, and my parents joined us for tea that evening. It was really lovely to see them and exchange gifts. The kids were given wonderful and thoughtful gifts. We are all so very lucky to have each other and our health.

On our way down to see what Santa brought!

The excitement when they saw Santa arrived!

Opening presents from each other 

Big hugs to say thank you!

Santa brought Sophie something nice too!

Then it was time to get ready to go to mass

When we got back we had our fabulous dinner!

Some of Lauren' s gifts all set up!

Chilling out Christmas night!

What a magical and wonderful day! I jope everyone else had a peaceful Christmas
