Riot In Belgium - La MusiqueThree of my favourite dance tracks today! The first one is La Musique by Australian duo Riot In Belgium. It's an amazing electro track, which is even better than their other masterpiece, called The Acid Never Lies!With its combination of uptempo beats, catchy vocals and great retro synths, David by Gus Gus is a fantastic track waiting to be explored:Gus Gus - DavidToday's last song is German techno track Stadtkind made by BPitch Control boss Ellen Allien:Ellen Allien - StadtkindIt's a great track to wake up to after a long night out in the city!
Today is Red Nose Day! My favourite charity event! Any excuse, really to dress up, act silly, have fun for charity, I'm up for it! Here's how Boy and I started the day in our stylin' red nose and Walk-ears - nice, huh? :) It's for a good cause, if you're able - please give generously! For more information about Red Nose Day as well as how to donate, please visit this website! I get weepy every year when they send celebrities off to visit poor communities in Africa, and this year was no exception. I had to hide behind Jean-Baptiste so Elliot wouldn't see me crying when Ant and Dec visited the HIV-orphans, I'm such a sap. Sorry this was a bit delayed today, but please sign the Mr Linky and leave a comment if you're playing along this week. Thank you so much!
I almost forgot it was Friday and nearly missed posting Friday Favourites! Just a reminder, anyone can play along and write about a current favourite (absolutely anything, book, movie, song, quote, blog, person, place, memory, a single moment - ANYTHING) but please sign the Mr Linky and let us all know :) Today - my favourite new purchases that arrived this week. My laptop and the new treadmill! I'm in love with both. The laptop is especially helpful, as it lets me be downstairs where all of Elliot's toys are kept, and not have to coop Elliot upstairs in our non-child-friendly computer room. I can check my email and know that Elliot is safe and happy. And surprisingly, I spend LESS time on the internet, since the laptop graced our home, so even better! N looked around for ages for my laptop, and we almost bought one before Christmas, but I'm glad we waited. Not that I know a single thing about computers, but apparently this one's a lot better than the one we were looking at (more
I think there's something in the air, or at least people everywhere have been struck with wedding fever because every where I turn, someone's getting married or having an anniversary or just writing about their weddings. I had this post written out in my head for over a week, since I wrote this, and people asked to see my 'fat wedding photos.' Here we go...I was 18 when I got married. Was it too young? Probably. Do I regret it? Not at all. I had fun planning my wedding, I've been blessed with a great marriage, a beautiful son. Here are my favourite memories...THE DRESSWhen I was back in America, after N and I were engaged, I was at work (a fast food restaurant, classy) and flicking through one of the million wedding magazines I had to have, eyeing up all those hugely expensive, lavish wedding gowns and cursing my bad luck that I wasn't born into family with MONEY. I let out a big sigh and told myself silently that I would find a perfect dress for less money somehow, and that I'd
As promised, my new weekly feature! Just to remind you, if you want to play along I'd love the company, just write about a current favourite and then comment on this. If there's even just one person playing I'll use a Mr Linky but so far, I sadly think it'll be just me. That's OK... This week, we have my favourite muffin recipes! Isn't it exciting? :) And don't they look marvellous? I love muffins! They're so easy to make, and also quite tasty. And I give you sweet as well as savoury!
