It’s so funny watching these two together, I think Tramp has taken our 8 month old Ragdoll kitten (Belle) under his wing (or should that say paw).

They get on so well together and Belle will flop at Tramps paws and wash his paw whilst Tramp has a good old snuffle of her. Belle also has a habit of using Tramps wagging tail as her very own play thing.

They certainly couldn’t be any better friends…throws out that whole cats & dogs being enemies doesn’t it!

Gone are the days of Cowboys and Indians, instead we now have assassins and robot heroes wielding guns. As much I’ve tried to fight it and being that this lad of mine is 12 at the end of this month. I have to applaud his creativeness as he wanted to be captured with his “assassins” robe on so we decided to put our imagination together and this is our creation.

For the past several years (with a couple of years break), I have undertaken a challenge to take a photo a day for all of January (Bit like Nanowrimo but with photos).

I don’t use a set theme for this project but I do like to capture the happenings in our family life, I was only going to upload to my Facebook Page but decided that my blog readers may like  to have an insight into our family life and just get to know me a little better.

So here is Day One for you, I hope you enjoy the next month as I take you on a journey visually of our family.

This bundle of energy makes me smile and keeps me on my toes. She certainly makes my life interesting and I wouldn’t change her in any way.

I can’t believe that this year will make her a big school girl and I look forward to seeing her move from strength to strength.

It seems to be that time again where we make New Years resolutions (New Year/New me), I can’t say I like this word resolution. How many times do you make one of these and fail at them? I like to instead make small achievable goals instead. That way I know what I am getting into, the goal is not so high that is not achievable and I feel like I can my goals are easy to attain but still give me a small challenge at the same time.

I hope that what every your goals may be for the next 12 months ( or 3, 6 or 9 months) whether it be to finish a long awaited book (like me) or to find that new job or just even to become healthy (if that’s what you want to be) is  something that you feel will be achieved. That goal could even be to be happy with what life brings you (I hope it does just that!).

Remember old memories but also don’t forget to make some new ones too.

As I reflect back on the year that was 2015, it has been hard to describe what 2015 has been for us and my family, there has definitely been some highs and some lows. I have definitely learnt more about myself this year and have begun to be more forgiving of my struggles.

This year we also said goodbye to Jasper, my second ever fur baby whom  you may remember from THIS POST and will forever be in my memories but we also said hello to Belle (our new 8 month old ragdoll kitten) who have slotted so well into our family and is so well loved.

I understand that many are happy to leave 2015 way behind them and the painful memories that it brought but don’t forget the happy ones and keep them close as well.

So with my heart full from the past year, I wish you a very happy New Year, I hope it is a safe and prosperous one!
