For once M’s tooth came off naturally. She was quite proud of it too. The tooth came out at school which to me was surprising because I thought it needed another day. But hey, can’t complain. Not only was it painless it saved me a few bucks, although at this base there’s a dental clinic for us non-military peeps aka dependents.
M’s first day of school. The day looked nice but it was far from the usual warm weather that we’re used to this time of year in the US. It was in the low 70s or high 60s for that week.

I haven’t updated in weeks, 20 days to be more exact. I have been taking photos and still committed to Project 365 but posting them online has been kind of difficult because somebody else also loves to be “typing” with me. But when nap time comes along or it’s night time I rather use the time to clean or work on paper crafting projects. Even though my husband said it’s not work, to me it is because the companies I create for rely on my creations to sell their products. I have deadlines to meet and so late at night with all is quiet Savitri “works”.
But today I decided I want to do more than just post photos of the day. It does get boring posting just that. I mean sometimes there’s not a lot to tell. I am hoping, from now on, that I’ll still be posting my 365 projects here but on days that Savitri’s out eating somewhere or cooking something different my photo of the day will be a full review of the whole experience. Or, if I’m into researching an area to visit I’ll post on that too. I think the best way to travel is on your own. The only restriction is yourself. I can’t picture myself in a group tour!! So maybe my posts can help others plan their own trips too. If not, then you all can just get a glimpse of how complicated my brain is.
I love my other blog, my craft one, because it’s not just me posting photos of my creations. It’s also my journal. It’s nice to know what special thing happened between M and I a year ago. I want this blog to be the same. I want to be able to remember which restaurant had that delicious crab salad in London or which Chinese restaurant we all went to on Christmas day {::SMILES}. It’ll be nice too to see what fabulous B&B we stayed at when we were in France or what not to bring to Italy.
So far I have a lot to share. It’s the time that I don’t have since there are a lot of details. I need to catch up on posting 20 days of project 365 first while training little fingers to keep her hands to herself… or her toys!
The above is today’s photo. Once I figure out what day today is for the project I’ll edit the title. I caught my oldest a few seconds before hitting a fly on little sister’s head. Sisterly love… and hate.
PS: Those two not so attractive… ok UGLY… wardrobes are not mine. They’re loaners from the base since UK homes, at least the older ones, are not equip with closets. Somehow though, after I spoke to the folks at the furniture loaning place, the paperwork states that these wardrobes are to stay for as long as we rent this house. We can return them but we have to do it ourselves. You know how hard it is without a truck?!?! I might have to food bribe a truck owner to get this task done!! Them wardrobes ain’t gonna fit in our lil Honda!
There’s a ceramic shop in Newmarket. It’s one of those place where you can decorate your own. M’s been wanting to go here and we finally did. She had a fabulous time and would love to go again.
Made this for M and she loved it. You can see the details of this story on my blog dated July 27th: www.scrapbit.com.
