Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday 3-6th May

My week has been rather hectic with prep for the exhibitition so not actually managed to take photos since Wed, I did however assemble one for my "cover" on my facebook timeline and a friend shared this Winnie the Pooh quote which I absolutely love.

My work this week has been on these

And many other flyers and banners and labels for the event.

this is a a4 sheet that will be made into a6 leaflets for handing out around the event.

Ive also had to learn to operate and become qualified to operate the Turn Back Time Analytical Arterial testing machine and how to read the reports to explain them to my customers at the event.

I have found childcare for during it for the 2 older boys I will just have Alister with me during the entire event unless Mike has him so that should be fun I think when Mike is there I will be out leafleting the crowd as we have missed all the advertising except the final site exhibitioners list and the online listing due to our late booking of the stall etc...

btw if the leaflet above has sparked your interest at all and you want to know more about my new business then please do email me at legacyhealthworldwide@gmail.com

The joys of a 2 yr old

b.b...b..b.b.b..but mummy i dont want my picture taken ( excuse my messy house it was first thing in the morning )

I love all my kids dearly I have a clearly uniquely different bond with each of them.

Elliott is growing so fast its hard for me sometimes caus I want to keep him just as he is now even with the 2 yr old strops , I want to keep the wee sensitive soul that he is, His caring loving nature when I was Ill last week it was EJ out of my boys who was trying to take care of me most to get me pillows and blankets and books and he even tried to bring me a drink bless him. 

Hes a sweet child with an adorable personality, just this afternoon when I put him up in his room for his naptime he was calm and happy to go to bed and asked for cuddles then happily told me "bye bye Mummy I nap now!" and before I had even left the room he had tucked himself into bed and shut his eyes. 

My husband called EJ our "LOUD" child for the first 8 months of his life because he does have a powerful set of lungs on him and when he is upset the whole block knows about it theres no "Shhhhshh-ing" him when hes upset he wants everybody to know about it so over the last couple of years we have developed ways of enabling him to be happy in situations where there used to be issues.

We by no means give in to his strops and tantrums even if it sends my husband running for the hills when he lets rip in the middle of the supermarket lol. but instead try to minimalise chances of him getting upset by using a bit of forethought about things since hes not quite as adaptable and flexible as Nathaniel, Not that there is anything wrong with that Its part of who he is and we love him just how he is its just that Parenting requires more than just one text book because although our boys have the same parents they have very individual personalitys, needs, prioritys and require different tactics to manage them.

More with EJ than Nathaniel but their little faces when they are trying to be stubborn are just so darn cute and make me want to smile or laugh often ( which is not very helpful when your trying to be strict on something ) and the moment of this photo was exactly one of those moments, Little EJ was none too happy about having his picture snapped and was telling me " No mummy, no Pot-O" ( photo in EJ language ) and quite sure I couldnt get a smile from him but hes just as cute and adorable when hes grumpy thankfully so there's your picture.

long day's work

Tuesday 1st May 2012

Ok its not technically a photo but a PNG. image i drew out freehand/mouse in Paint yesterday to create Nathaniel's birthday party invitations, but honestly I was so busy yesterday with this ( party organization ) and Legacy Health Worldwide stuff that I barely had time to eat because the time I wasnt sat at the computer working hard then I was tending to the needs of my 3 children.

Nathaniel is a bit obsessed with "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" on Disney Junior hence the Pirate themed invitations. I could have done it in Inkscape and gone for a glossy look image that "pops" off the page but I didnt have time to sit through tutorials for all the inkscape bits im not sure on how to do and Im working out the business logo and everything else using Inkscape anyway and having a break from the software for a while was refreshing for my brain.

So to finish the Party stuff up now I have to organize, food, games, decorations, activitys and party bags as well as make the Cake which im hoping wont be as hard as the Train I made for EJ.
