P.S. Don't forget to enter my Giveaway to win a My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software worth $40

My Memories Suite {Giveaway}

I recently had the chance to try out My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software.
I've always wanted to try it but didn't think i'd use it that much as the scrapbooks are digital and you view them online. I like scrapbooks that I can touch and feel. But when I found out that you could print the pages off, I was so excited.
Here's my first attempt at digital scrapbooking

I think I did quite a good job and it was so fun!!

There are loads of different backgrounds you can choose from, loads of  text options, word art, embellishments, shapes and photo layouts too. And you can also add music or narration to the pages. how cool is that?!

I've decided to make baby books for each of my children. I've only just started doing it, so can only show you one page. I've made it 8x8 inches and I'm going to print it out on photo paper then make it into a little book with some ring binders

There is so much you can do with My memories suite software. I'm still exploring it!

You can also buy extra kits and can also download free kits too!

If you would have your very own My Memories Suite Software go to

My Cheeky Little Monkeys

The other day I got up with my kids, got their breakfast and then nipped back upstairs to grab their clothes that i'd left at the top of the dresser. I was gone no more than 40 seconds and when I came back down this is what I found

How Cute!!??

In just that 40 seconds they had managed to get my wash bowl from the cupboard, grab the TV remove and  sit in the bowl, while Caitlin also put a nappy bag on her head!

It just made me laugh so much that I had to take a photo of them

Foto Friday : Two Subjects

Foto Friday's theme is Two Subjects

and here are mine. my two youngest Caitlin and Aaron. There's a story behind this photo that I'll be blogging about next week.

And for Scavenger Hunt Sunday

1. Beneath your feet

This is for both 2. Capturing Moment and 5. Currently
Capturing moment because this is the first photo I have took of my youngest walking and currently, because this is something new for him. He's now almost 18 months old and only just started to walk, he was behind because he broke his leg at the beginning of this year, so this is a very special photo

3. Texture

4. Face your fears
We went for a walk the other day and found this rope swing. here's my eldest Ryan having a go, I also had a go too and was terrified

The theme over at the Gallery this week is Picture Postcard 

 Here's the original for Edit me challenge
