Why I picked my childrens names

A lot of people often ask me where I got my kids names from and why I chose them, So I thought I would write a post about it.

First up we have Tianan, Right before I was married I had said to my now husband that If we ever have a girl I want to call her Tianan, The reason behind this is, This is the name of my auntie who passed away before I was born and I had always loved the name and thought it would be nice to keep it in the family.

Next up is my son Lucas, While pregnant with him we was having a hard time finding a nice boys name that we both agreed on then one day we was watching a film called Empire records and one of the characters names was Lucas, From the moment we herd the name we both said I like that name, So we agreed he would be called it.

And last but no means least Jovie, We wanted another unusual girls name again but couldn't find anything for ages and as I was pregnant with her over Christmas both my son and daughter kept wanting to watch the film Elf and if you have seen this film you will know the main female character in the film was called Jovie, We fell in love with it and agreed that this will be her name.

So now I have told you my reasons whats your reasons for your childrens names?

Fun with Aqua beads

My 5 year old daughter was brought some Aqua beads for her birthday in May this year but quickly used them all up and was always asking for more, So come Christmas when everyone was asking me what she wanted one thing I told people was Aqua beads, Lucky for my daughter when opening her presents Christmas morning there was a box of Aqua beads from her Auntie and Uncle, she didn't get round to playing with them Christmas day but Boxing day she did and since then it has been every evening.

There a little fiddly to use so I always sit with her in case she wants my help, What you have to do with them is you get a board that you place the beads you want onto it following the picture thats placed under the board, When thats done you spray it with water and wait for it to dry, when its dried you simply peal it off the board and its done, Some of them require other bits being stuck onto them to make them 3D.

My daughter loves them that much that she has asked for even more for her next birthday, Which I will quite happily buy for her as it keeps her quiet for hours at a time.
