Daise and I (and Rob) CANNOT stop dancing to this new CD that we have the Gotan Project and in particular to this song it is just plain FAB! My sister Lucy got me onto this and said that we had to get into it before we had our trip away to Paris and we certainly are enjoying the French tango … [Read more...]

What a marvellous thing a long weekend is. Thanks to the Queen? Or Labour Day? Or something we had yesterday off work and were treated to a long weekend. Thanks! We had a very quiet and low key weekend with LOTS of time spent at home just chilling out.Friday Rob's Mum took Daise off my hands for a … [Read more...]

A lesbian marine corps soldier apparently...No really I'm not. I did however get my hair cut on Friday with my groovy lesbian hairdresser and she has taken the cut to the next level. I mean can I really pull this off? It's pretty cutting edge and might be all the go for groovy lesbians but I am a 30 … [Read more...]

Last night Daise woke about 15 minutes after we gone to bed (surprise surpise) and as I was laying there swearing under my breath, praying to whichever God was up for just ONE night where we could all sleep through the night, huffing and puffing and bitterly acknowledging that I would have to get up … [Read more...]

So we now have a new neighbour. She seems friendly enough so we are happy with her seeing as she has moved in so close to our place.Little Miss has a new house and look at it. Just look at it. Could it be any sweeter? My sister got this for me a few weeks ago and came over Saturday morning to put it … [Read more...]

Friday afternoon was bloody perfect. Or as close to perfection as you can get. Rob was missing from it but that was about the only thing that could have been changed to make it even better.Daise and I went to the local pool down the road for an afternoon swim. First swim of the season. I wasn't sure … [Read more...]

I have been lucky enough to drop Daise at my Mum's place the last couple of Wednesday's and have this luxury until we head OS in December. One of the sweeteners for the trip away was that she would take Daisy once a week so we could save the money for the trip. It has been so nice for Daisy - I know … [Read more...]

We have recently elected our first female Governor General to Australia. This was an exciting moment for me, as a woman to see another woman make it. I made Daise watch it on the TV when she was sworn in (she was unimpressed and wanted Dora back on toot sweet) and I was proud our of new Head of … [Read more...]

I may or may not have mentioned that Daisy's sleep has gone a little awry these past 3 weeks or so. Out of nowhere she decided that she didn't want to be put into her bed at night. All her lovely little life we have done dinner, bath, bottle, books and then bed. I have put her in her cot, done a … [Read more...]

We have had a flurry of spring wedding fever in the last few days - with 2 weddings! I am exhausted from all the dancing, and drinking (mostly the drinking) but had a great time. The first was on Thursday night a formal affair which was very fancy indeed...And then again on Saturday afternoon and … [Read more...]

So what do you do with 19 month old girl's hair? I can't seem to get anywhere near it to do anything as Daisy despises me brushing it, or god forbid trying to pull it back. I can barely manage to get an elastic in the morning when she is still a little sleepy and distracted so she spends all her … [Read more...]

Another weekend gone. Sigh. It's always so sad to see them whoosh by but I know that they will be back around before I can say conjunctivitis...which is what poor Daise was struck down with on the weekend.Out of nowhere on Sat morn she awoke with sticky, green, gooey, icky eyes. Poor thing had to go … [Read more...]

We have had some GOOD weather these past 2 days. Warm and you could almost say hot today - 29 degrees which makes it feel like we have skipped spring all together and headed straight into summer. I know it won't last but I do love it when nature tricks you - even if is just is for a day. I have had … [Read more...]

Ah Springtime how I love you. Your bright mornings, and warmer, longer days. Your sweet perfume that fills the air. It is SO nice to have you back.Yesterday morning I found Daisy in the hallway walking on sunshine. And earlier in the week when I was putting her in the car seat, the sun streaming in … [Read more...]

It was Fathers Day yesterday - Happy Fathers Day Rob! We probably didn't spoil him as much as he deserved yesterday (sorry!) but we had a lovely day out anyway. The sun was shining (FINALLY) so we headed out to lunch to the local pub with Kate and Simes and Mads and friends of their Meags and Martin … [Read more...]

It has been raining here for days. Pouring for weeks it seems, but it has been at least 2 days (it finally stopped this morning though YAY). And we all had a serious case of cabin fever around there. Daise couldn't seem to burn all her energy and we were getting cranky that we couldn't just hide … [Read more...]

I can't seem to find her anywhere...all I can find is this little girl with bucket loads of tude (and hair! That goes into a ponytail!) who is so darn cute it makes me not miss my baby at all.But then again....since we have come back from our holiday she has been having some problems in the sleep … [Read more...]

Daisy usually says this little phrase when she drops something, or I drop something. I must have said it a lot when she was growing up as it was one of the first things that she said. "Uh oh" (Mummy dropped you)..."Uh Oh" (Mummy forgot to feed you) stuff like that. This morning I was in the kitchen … [Read more...]

Hurrah! Spring has sprung! Not sure that there is a nicer time of the year? I woke this morning with a little extra spring in my step...the sun seemed to be up earlier, the morning seemed a little brighter, I even got to pick some freesia's on my way to work so I have THE (definitive) smell of … [Read more...]

I have a little tune stuck in my head. Back to reality....oops there goes gravity. Oh so true. What a fabbo time we had away. Plenty of good food and wine and company.We crashed the house a day early because it was so cold in Sydney and I thought I might just get a chance to see some snow so Daise … [Read more...]
