Learning to ride....

Took the girl out yesterday to teach her to ride her bike without the training wheels on. I never imagined that it could actually be so frustrating..lol You seriously need to have a load of patience to teach a child to ride a bike that is for sure. Dave wanted to teach her to do it but I think it was me getting frustrated. She is so scared, even when she is told that she cannot fall off the bike because daddy is holding the seat.

Don't know what I expected though! It was not that she would just ride the bike first time but I did not think she would be such a chicken about it... lol We did this for awhile and then she played in the park and had ice-cream which is always fun :) The weather is really starting to turn cold. I swear I am freezing all the time, even when others are saying it is not that cold. I can just feel it in my bones and it seems to stay there. We will go back to the park another day and try again. Hopefully she gets over the fear a bit :)

Make-up Call?

Okay, I don't know about you but I find that plastering children's faces with make-up is just wrong on every level! I mean seriously what are we teaching our children? I know there are those people that do the kiddie pageant's and stuff like that and well... I think that shit is just wrong. It's bad enough 9 year old girls are killing themselves today with anorexia and bulimia and other eating disorders but to teach your child they have to be beautiful to win just fucking sucks. Our society has some serious issues and our children are dying for it. Forget Make-up call, I think these people need a serious Wake-up Call!

Little Children + Make-up = WRONG!

Autumn is in the air...

Cannot believe how quickly autumn is approaching. The summer seemed to be real short this year, we went to Canada on  holiday where it was super hot and then came home to autumn? The weather here today is really dark and gloomy and ready to rain! The thing I love about autumn is the colour, the leaves all falling off the trees and halloween around the corner. I could do without the gloomy days and dirty streets. I have slimming world tonight, I sure hope I lose something!! I seriously need to get some of this weight off!! On another note.. 1 year ago today I quit smoking!!! I cannot believe I did it and I'm so proud of myself :) Now all I need to do is lose the weight and I am set :)

Autumn leaves, hide the path, so quietly.

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

Fresh Start

I have decided to start the blog over again and hopefully stick with it this time. I don't know why I start a blog and then keep up with them for a month and let them die. I guess I'm a procrastinator or just never able to finish what I start? All the same, here I am again and going to give it a good shot. Guess we will see what happen....
