Recently, I was offered to review a photo canvas from PhotoBox which I had accepted as I can update my existing canvas. So when I was discussing with Mr C what we going to do with the existing photo canvas, Mr K said we should sell it through eBay! Mr C and I were in stitches laughing. Who would ever want to buy our own personalised photo canvas! Love how children can be so funny and naive. So what do you do with your old canvas?  Do you store it in the loft, give it to your parents or save it for the bonfire?

Last Saturday, I attended the Tots100 Blog Summit in Birmingham. I only knew some of the attendees from their online personae before the event so it was lovely to meet this community of bloggers face to face. It was through Twitter that I found Annie Spratt. She had organised a meet up at the train station. When I reached the station, it was not hard to spot the whole group of bloggers standing in front of the information counter. Annie had her head down and tweeted. She then mentioned to the group, ET Speaks From Home should be coming soon! This is how I meet this amazing lady!

I can’t believe that I have been blogging for over a year. I would like to thank Mr C, my two little monsters, my blogger families who have helped me along and all the lovely PRs and brands. Without you, I would not be here to blog about all the lovely products and services.

This afternoon, while I was busy doing housework, both my children were playing nicely together and I overheard this:

Mr K: I’m a policeman. Who is naughty here?
Ms C: Come and catch Father Christmas! He is stealing my toys!

They are so cute and imaginative. It was one of the highlights of an otherwise mundane day!

My son always comes out with endless questions and answers. He loves to talk non-stop and sometimes it can be really funny. Sometimes I wish that I could tape the whole conservation down and play it back when he is older.

This afternoon, while I was driving back from swimming lesson, my son asked me a question, “Mummy, when you die, can I have your car?”. “What?”, I replied in a surprised voice. I was thinking to myself that maybe he, at five years old, is already after inheritance.  Who taught him that things get passed down?

We all love snow for building snowmen! This is our Chopstick snowman made by my husband and children. It took them at least 15 minutes. They all enjoyed building it.

“This post is an entry into the Tots100 MoneySupermarket That’s My Hero competition“.

This is a drawing of Laserman as drawn by Mr K, 5. On his helmet, there is a laser and there are rockets attached to the arms. There are also rockets on the bottom of his shoes. It can launch the rockets to shoot his enemies. Mr K’s father is Laserman. His father is Mr K’s hero!

Last year on the 4th of December, I entered the LGUK competition on Twitter at #LGFridgeArt through BritMums by posting my children’s artwork.  All entries were featured on LG Pinterest board, you can check out my children’s artwork there.

On the 18th December, they sent me a direct message through Twitter and told me that I had won. I could not believe it! After a few email exchanges and phone call from the delivery man, finally, my fridge had arrived! I could not stop screaming! It was massive and it was my favourite colour – silver.

I was tagged by The Life of Spicers in this end of year meme 2012.  We met when we had a google chat through Izziwizzi PlayFest.
