Today, like most weeks, I spent some time naming some of the latest additions to the Gus and Ollie clan. Sometimes a name jumps right off the page and fits perfectly, other times I search and search, trying to find the perfect name to fit those cute little faces.

Fun One Friday : Advocating for colour
* Colour Alert * Is it just me, or are things for kids these days lacking some wild and wonderful colour?
