This week I give you another gem in my recently found treasures held in my Mum's garage. My parents went to the states back in the late 80's and came back this with game for my younger sister and I. We thought it was EVER so glamorous as it was from America (and everything) and whilst we could have … [Read more...]

See that date there at the top right of your screen? The 27th? THE 27TH???!!!! That date means that my baby is 6 months old today. SIX! I can't believe it. Half a whole year. These photos taken over the weekend are the perfect example of what this past month has been like. A little uncomfortable, a … [Read more...]

Can you hear that?No? Not even all the way over there? It is one very LARGE sigh of relief. For the first time in a week (I know I am pathetically pathetic) Harper slept for longer than 3 hours! I KNOW! We have had the week from hell with her. It's not so much the waking every 3 hours (which … [Read more...]

On Monday (otherwise known as the day with no TV whatsoever that almost killed me) I was looking for some distraction. Something to fill up the time until bedtime. So we did what I always do when I have time like that up my sleeve, I took the kids round to my Mum's place so SHE could play with them … [Read more...]

I have many flaws. One of my worst parenting flaws though, is my doom and gloom attitude when things start to go just a little off track. You can imagine then, just how I am all rainbows and lolly pops when things really turn bad. In fact, right here is an example of this doom and gloom approach - I … [Read more...]

Let's just have a quiet moment and soak up that image. And by all of us, I mean, me. I need it. A deep breath. Some pretty. A reminder of all the good things in life. All the important things. Like love. And not screaming toddlers with the attitude of a 15 year old. And sick, teething babies. Hang … [Read more...]

I am still coming to terms with this. Bare with me as I try to process.Last night Daisy was in the bath and kept calling for me to come in and see her. She had something she had to 'tell me'. I kept running around fobbing her off with many "will be there in 2 secs" before I finally got in there. As … [Read more...]

No we just have an infinite number to get through. Eeeek!Things started out, well, not so well. As I tweeted to FrillyHills I decided to go … [Read more...]

We are (almost) there. We now have a few finishing touches to make like a new outdoor setting, removal of black plastic from the right hand side (still there to make sure the stain from the timber does not run onto new pavers) and a lick of paint for the back of the house and potentially the back … [Read more...]

So. It's Tuesday. Not just any Tuesday, but the last day of my maternity leave Tuesday. My heart is a little heavier today, mostly just because it's the end of an era. The end of stay at home Mummy. And I'm not quite sure when, or if, I will ever be at home 5 days a week again. Who knows?I am … [Read more...]

Oh it was ALL about the wedding this weekend. And that was alright with me. Yesterday we headed off to the Bridal Expo at Darling Harbour. I know. Enough to make a gal feel a little woozy first thing on a Sunday morning, but we thought it might be a bit of a laugh and in any case it will show just … [Read more...]

Nothing really needs to be said does it?One (not so) little lady has been turned around in the car and she likes. She likes very much.Those cheeks spilling out while she sleeps? Her Mumma likes. Likes VERY much. … [Read more...]

Yesterday my bestie and I headed out to the Easter Family Show (or whatever is was meant or not meant to be called) at Fox Studios in an attempt to fool the children into thinking that we had taken them to the Easter show. I think we may have just gotten away with it. Sure 3 year olds and 5 month … [Read more...]

This is quite possibly one of the funniest things. Ever. I know, a big call, but it NEVER fails to make me laugh. Out loud. Over and over. In fact, I just let her go for as long as she can (that, or when all the bath water is kicked out of the bath). If you have a drink in your mouth, swallow now or … [Read more...]
