So it's been a while since I last posted here and I thought while I have a spare five seconds I'll pop by and post something and then see if I can keep up with posting here a bit more often.
So how has life been? Well it's a lot different from when I last posted. Why? Well last year I gave birth to a gorgeous little boy called Riley, it's been interesting going through the young baby stage again although we're not enjoying those disturbed nights sleep especially as when he was a baby Riley slept through the night and now as a toddler he has taken to waking and wanting to sleep in our bed. Oh well the things we do for our kids!!
Here's a photo last year when Riley was about a month old:
My Boys and I
Callum my eldest son has taken to being a big brother really well and I love to watch both the boys interact even if it is a bit loud and manic most times. lol.
As you can see though the manic does subside sometimes and tenderly moments are had. lol
Brotherly Love
So what else is new? Nothing really, I've been working on my photography more and this year started a 365 Project which if you are interested in viewing you can do so here. It's been an interesting journey but also a lovely way to document our life this year. I'm thinking when the year is up that I'm going to print up a book each for the boys with their photos in as a keepsake. The project has made me think more about what I photograph and I've learnt a lot more about the settings on my camera and about editing afterwards. I've also been trying to start up my own photography business but with a young toddler that isn't quite that easy.
Well it seems this is all I'm allowed to post for now, that little gremlin on mine is telling me in his own sweet way that it's playtime. Hopefully at naptime (if that comes!) I'll get to see who is still here and what is happening in their worlds. Take Care. x
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Callum and Dash in the Snow
Yep that's what we've got here in jolly Old Blighty, snow and plenty of it. In what is being reported as the worst snow storms to hit this part of the UK in about 18 years I'm finding myself enjoying it. Schools are closed, the snow is so thick, deep and crisps, Callum wants to go out in it and play and so does Dash. It's good old fun. The only downside is that Daz had to go to work today as he was fool enough to attempt to get in and managed to. I just hope he can make it home and we have a very bright outside light so we can always have a snowball fight in the dark.
As always you can count on the BBC website to keep you happy with stuff and they've had a run of photos from readers etc on the snow.
Your Pictures: Snow Blankets England
Your Pictures: Animals in the Snow
The Guardian is comprising and interactive map of photos sent in which is quite cool and I might send into as well.
Basically the snow is taking up pretty much all of the news which for once is a nice break.
Talking of which I better go prepare myself for stage three of snowstorm, snowball fight in the dark. See you later alligators.
Oh but before I go for anyone interested I have a set of photos on my flickr account with todays acitivities which are being updated.

In a galaxy far far away is a little community of friends that have one main common interest. Comics! Many moons ago we all met through the now defunct messageboard of Joe Quesada (EIC of Marvel) and from that branched out to form our own little private board called Bad Genious (yes it is spelt wrong but there is a reason behind that). Over the years we have all become very close friends that regularly meet up, have attended the wedding of two of the members, to just simply being there for each other. Throughout this all we have debated, discussed, laughed, loved, cried (well maybe not so much of this) and a whole range more emotions over the world of comics. And from all this has been born a new life a new blogging life, The Bad Genious Blog
I think our main creator ( The General ) sums it up well when he describes who we at the Bad Genious Blog are:
A loose coalition of comic book fans and friends. United by our mutual desire to rant, rave and otherwise ramble about comic books and their surrounding culture.
We do all love comics and we want to share that love with others, but we also have frustrations about it too. We are a wide range group of people with differences in our life experiences and we are tying to bring that across in our blog.
So if you want to read some interesting, thought provoking or just fun comic related reviews, opinions, thoughts then come and join us there. I hope we do get to see you.
So dear Oblelites I have a spare few moments and thought I'd update about life in the White House. Things are still hectic, but then that's pretty normal life for a SAHM I hear. We are well and truly settled in our new home, can't believe it's 4 months nearly since we moved in. The time has flown by. We've spent a good part of it in our new garden, working on it, trying to make it more than just a bit of grass and concrete. We now have a flowerbed with an array of different plants, trees, flowers, bushes etc in it and more to come! We have a goal post for those all important family get togethers, a tippee for Callum to picnic in, a slide for the cars to zoom down, a patio set and a PINK BBQ! Yes PINK!!!! Oh and a couple of huge paddling pools and some planters. There is still lots more that needs doing but we're getting there and it's good enough to leave now and get started on the front garden and inside the house. I'm trying to persuade our Landlord aka Daz to let us do a deal with rent and a new kitchen. The current kitchen desperately needs work doing to it but Landlordaddy is a little reluctant, I'm sure we can wear him down though. Nothing else really needs much doing in the house, just a few licks of paint and new flooring in the bathroom and that's it really.
So how are Daz, Callum and I? We're great! I think Daz enjoys being closer to work so he gets more time at home with us and added bonus now we can all get the bus together in the morning! Why? Well at long last we got Callum into a school in the borough. It's still a 2 bus ride journey but if the buses run on time it's only a 30 minute journey. The school is still being built so it only has the Nursery and Reception years there but that's still a lot of kids and they are all in a temporary building. Callum seems to like his new school although it is very different from his old school and there seem to sadly be a few language barriers but we'll get pass all that. For the time being it will do and we are still on the waiting lists for the schools that we can walk to. It's great though all being able to get the bus together in the morning and on the way home from school Callum and I walk pass Daz' office so if we have time we pop in and see him and if not it's a hurried wave as we run past to get our bus home

A few weeks ago Callum asked if he could write a letter in to Top Gear, this is what he wrote with the translation. So simple yet so sweet.

Kids are such wonderful funny creatures. A few months ago Callum saw Peter Pan for the first time. He spent the next couple weeks going round singing Never Smile At A Crocodile and calling Daz Tinkerbell and me Captain Hook, well untill Daz put him in his place and I (quite rightly) became Tinkerbell. Then leading up to Christmas he became enamoured by Dr Who, mostly down to the fact that his cousin Alex is mad about Dr Who. One day we were in Woolworths and Callum saw a black Dalek costume and asked for it. I suggested he wait a little while until after Christmas and we'd see if it would be in the sale because jeez louise those things are costly! Much to Callum's delight a couple weeks into the New Year and we found one, this time a brown/gold one, in the slaes for ÃÂÃÂÃÂã8! Bargain! It seemed that Callum's phase of the builder, policeman, fireman costume had gone to the next level... and the more expensive level. But hey he had fun showing the Dalek to his cousin Alex who has a Cyberman costume and they caused havoc together.
Now we come to Friday just gone. It was the last day of half term and we decided to go and visit Daz at work, from the new house it's a ten minute bus ride and there are plenty of shops in Ilford. Callum was over the moon to be going to see Daddy at work and added bonus that Grandad "Grumps" Steve worked there too. After a while of Callum terrorizing, hell who am I kidding, wooing over more like, the girls at the office I took Callum off to look in Woolworths at the toys. At the top of the escalators, before we get to the cars there are the dress up costumes. Callum asks is we can look and asks for a Power Rangers costume, but he's on a Power Rangers ban at the moment so I said no. Then the two of us at the same time spied the Peter Pan costume. It was a must

Our House
So we've moved and settled in nicely. That up above is the new White House, needs a bit of cleaning and painting doing but it's our home for at least the next year and hopefully maybe longer

At the moment every day Callum asks if it's going to be Christmas tomorrow. He's really getting in the spirit of it. Here's a clip of one such way. Hope you enjoy.

I just don't know where the time goes, just over a month and it'll be Christmas and not long after that a new year. Wow.
So how are things in the White Household? Busy, stressful, tiring with some fun and laughter thrown in
