The Gallery – Nine

by Ellie on March 10, 2010

Week two of  ‘The Gallery’ is here already with the theme ‘a number‘.

I spent quite a bit of time pondering over my entry this week. The theme was left wide open to interpretation. After uploading some pictures I took in the last couple of weeks I knew I wanted to choose the number nine.

This is my beautiful Little Lady E. She was nine months safe and warm in my belly and is now nine months out.

Nine months passed so fast I’ve hardly had a chance to breathe.

Nine months of change and growth and love.

Nine incredible months with my wonderful nine month old girl.

If you want to take part in The Gallery or just fancy checking out everyone elses interpretation of this week’s theme, pop over to Sticky Fingers and get stuck in!

The run up to Mother’s Day (Sunday 14th March 2010 in the UK) is always a tough few days for me. Usually it’d have me grieving once more for my Mum, who [...]

Hot or not?

March 5, 2010

It’s that time of the week already!
Ready for the first ‘Hot or not?’ of the month?
Last week blue eyed boy Chris Pine flew out of the stalls but flagged towards the finish line. I’m fairly certain he’ll live long and prosper without our adoration. See what I did there? OK, I’ll stop with the comedy [...]

What actually happened?
