Things have finally kicked into business time at School. No more mucking around, we are into the term. Last year with Daisy just being in Kindergarten we had home readers 4 nights a week and then she had to do some online work - Mathletics and Readings Eggs, and that was just about all her little … [Read more...]

I'm a good girl and I usually do as I am told. So when Mrs Woog put up on Facebook that everybody needed to buy these jeans from Trenery and I knew I was in the market for some new jeans because my old favourites had just ripped in the knees (again) I found myself adding to basket. And purchasing. … [Read more...]
Daisy’s Day
February 14, 2013 by 21 Comments
As far as Birthday celebrations go, yesterday's were home made, a little dodgy, slap dash and perfect. We started the morning eating bacon sambo's with HP sauce and listening to Steely Dan and getting stuck into some lego construction. As only you should on a Birthday morning.After School we had a … [Read more...]

While I am lamenting over the fact that I haven't exercised for a few days because I've been both lazy and too busy and making excuses like it's no ones business, an email hit my inbox that promptly gave me the swift kick my the arse I was after.: Of the world’s poorest people, 70 per cent are women … [Read more...]
On getting older
February 11, 2013 by 25 Comments
I was thinking the other week how I would write a great blog post about getting older and wiser. I'd noticed a shift within me lately, of being able to let go of some things that would have previously bothered me and somehow now I have been able to just shrug it off. People's thoughts on me, that I … [Read more...]

So now apparently I've got this kid in year 1. And apparently I should know some stuff about being a School Mum. Which I don't really, but I thought I'd throw some stuff out there for any parents that may have a little one starting Kindergarten last week and are now in week two feeling a little, … [Read more...]

More recently it’s through the blog and photo books, before that (and when everyone actually shared photos on Facebook) in my albums on there … [Read more...]

You know what I CAN'T believe I forgot to even write about? My new table runner that I got from my little sister as a hostess gift when she came to stay for Christmas. I know! I can't believe it either. How fabulous are hostess gifts? I get all sorts of lovely things when people come to stay - some … [Read more...]

I'd seen on Instagram and around the online traps that Woollies were now making hot, cheap bowls. This morning I found myself in the hot, cheap bowl section and quickly snaffled (yes, that's a word) 4 of the buggers for $2.95 each. Schwing! I am still embracing the chevron, I am unsure when the … [Read more...]

A sponsored post for Woolworths Baby & Toddler Club For as long as I can remember I was in the kitchen helping my Mum out. Whether it was mixing a bowl for a minute or so, licking beaters or cutting some herbs out of the garden, my Mum had me involved and I firmly believe this is where my passion … [Read more...]

I had SO much basil so thought it best I turn it into some pesto. I've shared my recipe before for it here. I whack it into almost anything - pasta, omelette's, salad, onto steak - nothing is spared. Do you make your own pesto? What have you got a lot of at the moment? I'm also over … [Read more...]

There's something about January isn't there? So much expectation placed on one little month. A month that can be filled with pure, simple good times - a perfect prawn sandwich that pops with salty deliciousness in your mouth, or a swim at the beach after 7pm at night and a month that can be filled … [Read more...]
