Shemozzles they take many forms,
I've been in one or two.
I don't know how we got to this,
My brain has turned to goo!
PS Thank you to Kerri from Driftwood Interiors for inspiring this weeks' word via a lovely email that she sent. x

I am very familiar with this word and use it quite regularly.
ReplyDeleteWith some of the family activities I try to organise, at the end of it I throw my hands in the air and announce 'well...that was a Shemozzle!" but seriously good fun at the same time :)
I am expecting a few more Shemozzles over the Christmas break. Naomi xx
Look at that adorable picture! So, so cute!!
ReplyDeleteah yes, this word is in frequent use Chez Pirate...
ReplyDeleteAh, that should slip into my next post nicely, Sweet One! I am pleased to see this spelling. Lately I've seen 'shamozal' and found that a little perplexing ☺. J x
ReplyDeleteI use this word a lot too. I always thought it was spelt differently though? Shamozzle? You learn something new every day.
ReplyDeletecute photo. I would think it's some made up rubbish that's slang and used often but with no actual dictionary definition ;)
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for clearing up that shemozzle ;D
That photo is so amazing...and thanks for the new word:) Kisses, my dear
ReplyDeletePs: I am hosting a charming scarf GIVEAWAY today, just in time for cozy Christmas!
great idea and great photo!
ReplyDeletethanks!
Fabulous idea! and the photos goes so fabulously well with Shemozzle :)
ReplyDeleteamazing picture
ReplyDeleteThere's a blog I read called '4 kids, 20 suitcases and a beagle' and her website is shamozal.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteDifferent spelling, but same meaning!! Mind you if you had lived in as many different countries as her with 4 kids, you'd know the meaning of this word too!!
Going to try to use 'my' new word in tomorrow's post :-)
