At Seventeen

My daughter turned 17 a few days ago, I'm still clearing up after family and friends descended to celebrate with us. I love the house being full of chatter and laughter, there is nothing nicer than sharing good times with those you love. Bel said in a small voice the day before, "there WILL be balloons, won't there mum?" Yes, there will always be balloons for you, my beautiful girl!

  1. Happy 17th to your daughter, I have a 15 year old, each day seems to dawdle, each year seems to fly by - how does that happen?

    1. Very well put! Thank you for the kind wishes. I love the fact my daughter is ever so slightly "grown-up" but remains very much a child in so many ways!

  2. I don't think boys ever grow up....my son wants me to make another birthday cake for him even though it's not anywhere near his birthday but he can't wait....he's 22!!

  3. Hope your daughter had a wonderful 17th and may she always enjoy balloons! I have two 16 year olds and one of them is still fond of paper dolls ...

  4. Thank you, she did have a great time. I love the fact your daughter still likes paper dolls. My daughter is still mad on Harry Potter, someone recently bought her a wand and it has pride of place in her room!
