‘Snack': a shot glass of seeds, nuts, and dried berries. #photoadaymay #photoadaychallenge http://instagr.am/p/KwgZ-Jok0F/

Feels like Cinderella. Must get back before midnight or my boys turn into gremlins…wait wrong film reference.

The white wine smells like ferrets.
  • Listening to IR students debate while I eat dessert and drink wine. Feel more at home with all these Europeans than I have with the Brits.
Ran in the rain in my heels to catch train to Brighton. Shout out to ‘my friends’ at the car wash for your sentiments on my appearance. 😉

Books & Beauty

Reading the Hobbit with my boys from the same book my dad
used to read to me from when I was a little girl.

Beautiful. Nothing is more beautiful to me right now than the simple
beauty of fresh strawberries and raspberries.

I cannot sleep. So I’m breaking in my heels while I clean the kitchen and listening to She Wants Revenge. #thatishowiroll

I just got carded to prove I was over 18 to buy special birthday candles for my son. #beforeiturn30thisyear

Happy birthday to my son Maddox! Just five years ago today I gave birth to him on the sunny island of Oahu, Hawaii.

Mothers Day (USA)

It is Mother’s Day in the ol’ US of A, but since we already celebrated this holiday here in the UK I did not make it a big deal with my boys. Besides is not every day mothers’ day? 😉

My family experienced the Luminarium today in Lindfield. Bonnie Rose © 2012 All Rights Reserved 

To celebrate Maddox Charles Aherin‘s last day as a four year old we went to the Levity III Luminarium at Lindfield’s Art Festival after church. It was truly a spectacular activity to experience as a family. The boys got to take a hula hoop class from some pretty hippy girls with their ‘High Hoops’ troope and taste some Gluten Free cupcakes. Plus we bought the book in which Ronan’s poem was published. Family Days are certainly Fun Days in life.

At Linfield Art festival with my boys. Ronan had his poem published in a book, so we are here to find and purchase a copy.

Maddox’s Superhero party at the Bowling Alley

Maddox’s Super Hero party at the bowling alley was quite fun. We had 13 boys in total and our party hostess took care of pretty much everything. The other parents made a lot of comments on all the details we put together for party. I think the consensus was that I should become a party planner. The photo booth went well though we did just one group shot since it was hard enough to wrangle all the boys together for a photo. The cake pops did not pass the decoration phase and our ‘plan b’ cake got left at home by mistake. So we are going to enjoy the cake on Maddox’s actual birthday. I have had very little sleep with party prep…pretty much exhausted.
