Mothers Day has sort of crept up on me this year, all this house hunting meant I have only just noticed that it is just around the corner – but fear not, those lovely folks at Truffle Shuffle have forgiven me my tardiness and happily agreed to run our traditional Mothers Day Comp again this year.

We all have the ability to take hundreds of photos so easily these days, with our phones and digital cameras we amass far more images than our parents did when we were small, but then often forget to do anything with them. I have had a couple of my favourites turned into canvas’ over the past year, and I love how they look on the wall and know that if my computer dies I will at least have something that shows Syd as a small boy!

I am sure at least some of you remember my Team Honk antics from last years relay, well this year Team Honk is taking part in the Comic Relief Danceathon at Wembley next weekend – sadly my house move means I can’t take part myself, but I am in a position to help out the lovely Claire from The Diary of the Evans-Crittens by sharing this guest post from her in order that she can boost her sponsorship funds thanks to the lovely peeps at Betfair! Anyway – over to Claire:-

Oh You Pretty Things – Socks

Posted by Sonya Cisco on Feb 17, 2015 in Featured, Life | 25 comments

This week Oh You Pretty Things is hosted over at Keynko, and her theme is socks. You know, those things you use to keep your feet warm. Socks have got good haven’t they? As a kid I only remember my virgin knee highs (as we called them at school – the white, pull up socks with a small holey pattern) or other boring plain ones. My kids have monsters, dinosaurs, hearts, flowers, and all manner of characters on theirs.

After a stressful week that ended with another rejection on the house front, I am picking myself up and dusting myself down by looking at the happy highlights that nestled within the annoyingness.
