The One Minute Writer – Travel

August 23, 2010 By: Mamma Kerr Category: Creative Mamma, Mamma's Memes


The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: Travel

Today, I have to write about the most important item I like to carry with me for a long day of traveling.

Before setting out on a long plane or train journey, I make sure I have ample reading material with me.  There is nothing that will make my journey pass quicker than a good book.  I like to completely immerse myself in the story.

July 22, 2010 By: Mamma Kerr Category: Creative Mamma, Featured Post, Mamma's Memes

Here´s today´s little bit of fiction, courtesy of the One-Minute Writer meme.  Today I write about something I feared when I was a child.  I was only about two or three years old, and I was obsessed with this fear.  It had been passed onto me by Mrs Ferguson,our strange neighbour from upstairs, much to my mother´s annoyance.

One Minute Writer – Control Freak

May 19, 2010 By: Mamma Kerr Category: Creative Mamma, Mamma's Memes, Opinionated Mamma, Organised Mamma, Working Mamma


The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: Control freak

I am a control freak. Period.  I have difficulty in delegating work tasks to others, as I always fear that they will not do it as well as I would do myself.  I fear that I will end up having to re-do it myself!  This, of course, is ridiculous, as the tasks are never that difficult.  I just find it hard to hand over the reins and feel that I will lose control over the whole situation if I do not keep a close involvement in everything!

Get Creative With Your Easter Egg Hunt

March 30, 2010 By: Mamma Kerr Category: Blog Hops, Creative Mamma, Featured Post, Mamma's Garden, Mamma's Home, Mamma's Kids, Mamma's Memories, Mamma's Pets

What’s Easter without an egg hunt?

My five year old twins look forward to their annual Easter Egg Hunt. Hubby and I like to hide a mixture of decorated hard-boiled eggs, chocolate eggs and other Easter novelties around our back garden. However, living in Scotland, we have once had to resort to Plan B and hide the eggs around the house instead, because it was a wet and windy Easter Sunday.

Today is both World Poetry Day and World Forestry Day.  As a member of Bloggers Unite, I thought I would pay homage to both of these days by sharing a poem about trees, as well as some of  the photographs I have taken of trees in my neighbourhood.
