Its been one of those weeks!!! I just need to be thankful that I was on school holiday this week lol!!!
Lovely ‘Waffles’ of Waffle Me This has blessed me with another award!!! The Creative Blogger Award. Thank you sooooo much, Waffles/Rumpelstiltskin/Richard/Rich!!! You really are as sweet as a syrup covered waffle! 🙂
The Rules
*Thank and link back to the person who nominated you (mention your nominator in your own award post with a link back to their original award post, which would be this one).
*Share 7 things about yourself.
*Nominate other bloggers and comment on their blogs
7 (new) things about me!
1. I love a simple ham sandwich…just ham and butter on white bread… Simplicity itself, and so tasty!!!
2. I can’t STAND smelly feet!!!! Seriously, it’s one of my pet hates!!! That odour… Makes me retch!
3.I once went on a midnight forest walk… Part of a hen weekend in Wales. We encountered a group of ‘hippies’ and they were gathered in a large circle singing, and doing something because there was a full/new moon, or something like that! They got excited, seeing a group of Indian girls, enthusiastically asking us if we knew any ‘bhajans’, religious Hindu songs, but none of us were religious. They weren’t disappointed though, we launched into a few popular Bollywood songs, stayed with them for half an hour and left them, singing and playing their drums!
4. I used to have a pet stick insect. It was so boring educational… I’d watch the jar for hours, and it did nothing!!!
5. My favorite Disney movie of all times is The Jungle Book!!! I Love Love Love it!! All the songs, and the characters!!
6. I’ve recently become a granola, fruit and yoghurt convert for breakfast… Who knew it tasted so good??!! And healthy too!

For Our Unique Children…

When I read this for the first time, it hit a nerve, so close to my heart. I printed it off, and put it in my classroom at the time.
All children are unique, they grow into unique adults. If they were all to achieve the same successes, and excel at everything they did, what a boring world we would live in … It’s good that some kids are good at maths, or literacy, and others are great in sport, or the arts. We need those strong in the sciences too, but they don’t have to be top in everything!
Equally we shouldn’t compare them… Two best friends might be polar opposites, academically, and in personality, but their two different halves, make a fantastic whole… Don’t spoil it by comparing them, and playing one off the other, so their friendship inevitably suffers…
Let’s love our children for what they are, not what others expect them to be.

Oh my! ‘Tis definitely time to get my award frock out, me thinks!!!
I open my notifications to this beauty!
This wonderful award, the Sisterhood of The World Bloggers Award, has been sent my way by the lovely Deana of Eat Pray Love Mom blog. Thank you so much Deana, for thinking of me, I’m flattered and humbled, and honestly thankful that you thought of me!! 😘😘
Rules for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award:
Thank the giver and link their blog to your post.
Answer the 10 questions given to you.
Pass the award on to 7 other bloggers of their choice and let them know that they have been nominated.
Include the logo of the award in a post or on your blog.
Deana’s Questions for Me:
1) If you were alone in a park and you walked by a man crying and there was nobody else around, what you do?
Wow… It would depend on the time… I would probably walk on, find someone, and get them to come back with me to check on the guy.
2) How do you feel about gun control?
I hate guns, so unless it is a true necessity, I don’t believe they should be around normal homes.
3)If you were the leader of your country, what are three things you would do to change the country for the better?
Sort out immigration, the Education system, and the welfare system. Close after that would be the NHS.
4) Are there certain slang words for vagina that you hate?
Floor, fanny, lady garden, twat… I can cope with, it’s c**t that I don’t like, or Cee U Next Thursday!!
5) What does HUMANISM mean to you?
I do believe there is a divine being above all else, but I also think that He gives us choices, so we, to an extent are free to create our own destiny.
6) Apple or Android?
I use both!!
7) If you had to wear makeup & do you hair every day for a year or go without makeup and your hair in a pony tail for a year, which would you do?
The latter.. Makeup and hair is not the be all and end all of my life!
8) Do you have a style?
I do, it’s my style!!
9) Do you think that mainstream music is acceptable for your children? Or if you don’t have kids, do you think there are mainstream artist who’s music is geared towards kids but shouldn’t be?
I think most mainstream music is ok, but there are some artists who are, shall we say, more graphic, and you have to kinda censor their listening!
10) What do you think of when you hear the word FART?
My family! I’m sorry but we are a toilet humour family, and farts always make me think of them…!!
