This weekend was a bit of a half half. Half good, half not so good. Half stinking hot and the other half much cooler. Friday night and Saturday were REVOLTINGLY hot. As in only down to 30 degrees or something at night which is far too hot for a lady like me. We planned to head down to see my brother … [Read more...]

Sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands. If the sleep won't come to me. I will go to it. In the car.I spent an hour driving around aimlessly while both children slept. At least on this very hot day it was cool. And quiet.Here's to a better afternoon for all Macdonald's. And a … [Read more...]

An event which is possible (non zero probability) will almost surely take place. Although, in this case, emphasis is put on the possible bad occurrences.So last night (after a bed time of hell) my little 12 week old Harper slept through the night. The whole night. From 6.30pm until almost 7am this … [Read more...]

I was given an award from over at Kellyansapansa (thanks!) and while these awards seem to me to be like those chain letters that you have to send to 10 friends or you will die, I am grateful, so I will (at least) let you know 10 things that make me happy. I'm just not going to tag anyone back. Which … [Read more...]

Like any parent who has had a 3 year old daughter, I am deep in the trenches of Disney Princesses at the moment. I really tried to resist (ha!) them, like I did The Wiggles and Dora, but here I am surrounded by cheap polyester costumes, and repeated after repeated viewings of Snow White, Cinderella, … [Read more...]

I spent most of Saturday with my Mum and little sis (bride to be) scouring bridal magazines and getting completely obsessed with all things wedding related. Have you ever dipped into the world of bridal blogs? Oh my stars. The photos! The FABULOUS weddings that people have! I have a new passion … [Read more...]

Yesterday morning all 4 of us were in bed together trying to make bedtime last that little bit longer - but with 4 in the bed the only thing anyone was getting was a kick to the ribs! At least we were laying down right? Oh and I forgot to mention (which is quite significant) that Daisy had slept in … [Read more...]

I am still licking my wounds from a play date this morning that went terribly bad. I am still ASHAMED of my daughter and her behaviour and I have no doubts that the friend and her poor daughter are now on an urban tour of Sydney spreading the word about Daisy and her ways. Honestly, the kid was … [Read more...]

Well it's that time of the year again. Don't know what I am talking about? Well last year I participated in Official De lurking Day as I was invited to do so by Rude Cactus from over in the U S of A.There's a pretty simple way to join in. Comment! Go on....instead of just reading my blog and … [Read more...]

I don't know what it is about this time of the year but I am nothing if not predictable. I find January just so urghhhhh and blah and sigh loaded. This week I have really struggled with everything. I have been in a mood. Opening my mouth and speaking fluent bitch to Rob. I have been getting … [Read more...]

Just so you know just how *good* a mother I am.Some may say innovative. Some may say practical. Others may say lazy. In any case I am soooooo 2010 people! … [Read more...]

Yesterday. Was one of them. You know 'em. If you kids you surely know 'em. It certainly wasn't the best way to start my first day 2010 with both kids alone. Daisy told me both that she wanted to kill me, and that I was stupid. Charming no? She also threw in for good measure that I was annoying and … [Read more...]

So. Holidays are over. As of this morn. Poor Rob trotted (actually it was more of dragging his feet) out the door this morn on his way to the office. I must say in some weird way I kind of wished I was as well. At least in the office people are interested, I would have had people ask how our break … [Read more...]

On our last day of our holiday we were lucky enough to share it with Rob's brother and his family who had headed up to the farm for a few days. Daisy was very excited to have some kids around at long last after a holiday full of adults (and of course one little sis who doesn't do much at all). And … [Read more...]

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to home we go....or something like that. Back to the city today...what a fabulous time we have had here. Was nice to be able share little bits of it with you along the way. … [Read more...]

I have been fobbing you all off with (fabulous) photos of the farm and the kids with no real updates or information so thought that I would cover off a few bits and pieces, odds and ends, bibs and bobs, so to speak. The photos though, haven't they been wonderful? My film making husband has an eye … [Read more...]

Morning has broken. And it's going to be one beautiful day. Rob and Daise went out on a Kangaroo hunt this morning (in jammies and all) and found not only a kangaroo, but something we have yet to see this year...sunshine! … [Read more...]

The weather has been a little, shall we say, dreary up here. To put it in perspective, this will be the 9th (?!) day in a row that we have had rain, or drizzle of some sort through out the day. Sure, we have had moments of sunshine, and in these I am straight outside, into the pool, trying to soak … [Read more...]
