Something new. I am joining in with thousands around the world for a linked up retreat. Looking forward to all it has to offer.

How to get your kids to eat apples

Since having children I have had many differing requests for apple presentation before it will be eaten. On the go we eat them whole but, some like them peeled, some have it sliced. After having a go with a friends peeler/corer/slicer we have been looking out for one ever since. So much fun. The boys can do it themselves and they eat the whole thing.

Polyvore

With the change of season comes a change of wardrobe. I had my clothes sorted into summer and winter collections. After a night out where I needed to get dressed up and being frustrated with sorting through to find my casual clothes I decided it was time for a change. So I now have my wardrobe sorted into casual and dressy. Having just started at Pinterest I came across Polyvore. A great site where you can create outfits from their 'wardrobe'. Great to get ideas for different ways of wearing things and putting together ideas from your own wardrobe.

You can see it here Looking forward to trying more.

I first came across the idea of a word of the year through Ali Edwards blog. You can read about it here. I love the concept and how it has shaped my past two years. I am looking forward to where it will take me.
