'You've got your hands full'

How our children see us: Parent bloggers' portraits hit YouTube

THANK YOU to the sublime (yes sublime) Tara at Stickyfingers for including me in her Picture Perfect meme.

Here's my daughters' efforts on YouTube, along with lots of other online friends as seen by their little 'uns - and that's thanks to Erica at LittleMummy, whose video skills I have long encouraged, don't you know.

How my daughters see me: Response to 'picture perfect' meme from Tara @ Stickyfingers

THANKS to Tara, my daughters spent some of this Sunday just gone drawing me.

Here are the results.

What a peach.

Feeling nervous after uploading our first video!

IT took some doing, let me tell you.

But, after remembering I had a YouTube account, I have managed to upload our first homemade video at Havealovelytime.com.

You can see the result here.

Any wise words of encouragement much appreciated! I know it's not the best quality piece of film you will ever see and that a touch of editing here and there would be beneficial, but hopefully it serves its purpose.

Oh and if you have a holiday video you'd like to share, please let me know.

Cheers.

Film Review: Parent Trap by Melissa

I don't think this is a very realistic story, but it is a great film to watch. In real life, one twin would not go and live in London while her sister was in America with her dad. My favourite part is the end when the mum and dad get married again.

My birthday, by Melissa

On Sunday at  11o’ clock, my friends came to my house.  First we opened our presents and then we played with them. Then I took some pictures with my new camera. Mum made a buffet and we had some lunch. After that we had a talent contest and Emily won, and I came second. Then I blew out the candles on my cake and everyone sang ‘Happy Birthday.’ After that we went to the cinema in the car. We saw Hoodwinked. It was really good. Everybody enjoyed it. Then we went to Pizza Hut and we met Lucia there. Me, Georgina and Rhiannan had ham and cheese pizza. Then we all had ice cream. The lady, who was called Claire, gave us all balloons. We went home and I went in Daddy’s car. Oliver and George came and we played some games. Then we went upstairs and we got ready for bed. My friends stayed because it was a sleepover. We chatted and then we went to sleep. In the morning we got dressed. After that we played with my Bratz make-up model. It was good playing with it because it was my favourite present. Then everyone went home. My birthday was very busy but a lot of fun!

I  hope   that  my  next birthday  is going  to  be  just  as  fun.
