For the past few weeks I have been searching for the lamp to go on my new sideboard. The stand in one (which you can see in that post) that I had wasn't quite right (in my humble opinion) because of the heavy wooden base. The height was right though because I could balance something else next to it, … [Read more...]

1. I pick a fight with my husband 12 minutes into a 7 hour car trip home about something silly and stupid which lead to silence between us for 3 HOURS! 3! Of course the children still made noise, and demands and cried and fought and I refereed all that shenanigans, BUT 3 hours.2. I tweeted the … [Read more...]

We're heading home this morning. I am in denial about the trip but hopeful that it will be better than when we came up. It has to be. And it will be. Although we have a few more km's added seeing as we are going all the way home. And BY GOD there better power on when we get home from the road trip. … [Read more...]

But it's true. I meant to take a photo on Friday night when I made the best home made pizza base I have EVER made. And then again I meant to on Saturday when I went to the movies by myself to see Bridesmaids (I was underwhelmed don't judge me). I most definitely meant to on Saturday night when Rob … [Read more...]

I have always been a fan of scouring vintage/salvos/antique stores but ever since we have moved here, things have gone up a few notches. I am slightly addicted. OK. Totes addicted. I think it's because I have found some amazing things and at great prices. And that's the thing, once you find … [Read more...]

I'm still in the honeymoon phase down here when it comes to the weather. It's just that it's proper weather you know? In winter it's cold, in spring the trees and flowers are in proper bloom, autumn looked like, well, autumn. Summer was green, leafy and a summery delight. Each and every morning I … [Read more...]

I just wanted to make sure that the rest of you that just check in on here saw the rest of the shots that he took and some of my personal favourites. There … [Read more...]

It's been a few weeks now since I decided that enough was enough and tried to find some solutions to the inevitable 5 days of crazy that seems to follow me after each and every period. For some reason the PMT doesn't seem to be the issue, but the POST 5 days? I am like some demented woman. Crazy. … [Read more...]

I am not a fan of the park. I may or may not have even uttered the words "Great! Off to the fucking park" under my breath en route to the park. Once or twice. Maybe. I don't mind the park if I can sit and enjoy a coffee and the sunshine next to the park. But when you need me to get in amongst the … [Read more...]

I loved that song. Did you? In fact, I have quite the penchant for early 1990's R&B and hip hop. Quite sad really. BUT if anyone ever needed to someone to pump out Shoop by Salt n Pepa in it's entirety, then I am your girl.So. Wow.I know now the secret to making yourself feel reeeeeeally good about … [Read more...]

I've had this post going around and around my head for the past few weeks now. Maybe even longer. But I'm not quite sure what it is I want to say, or what it's about. So as I write all my posts, I'll just start at the beginning and see where we end up.Blogging has always been a huge joy for me and a … [Read more...]

: Very early this morning I was *this* close to taking Harper to the hospital. She has had a bad cough but she was very wheezy and swallow breathing and just awful. But the thing was, it was too cold. I know, terrible right? But I just knew that if I could get us from 4.20am until 6am then we would … [Read more...]

Thank goodness for the week. If it wasn't for those stretch of seemingly endless 5 days between Monday and Friday I would be the size of a house. You see, as soon as Friday afternoon comes around a switch turns on and I seem to eat and drink, and then drink and eat. It usually starts with cheese and … [Read more...]

This week has not been my finest. I have been slumped in a bad mood, bored, suffered from cabin fever and not enough sleep, a sick(ish) toddler and all round cranky and frumpy and moody and jumpy. Now if there are any doctors out there can you explain to me why it is that each and every single time … [Read more...]

This morning I was out the door before 8am, managed to scrape the ice from the windscreen and get to a local Farmers and Flea markets. It was all of 1 degree when I got there but I managed to pick up a few bits for our visitors arriving from Sydney later today.There is something special about … [Read more...]

This afternoon I had a hair appointment which I had to cancel because Rob is out working on a last minute job so I have no one to mind the kids. This shouldn't be such a big deal, because it isn't....but...I haven't had it done in almost 12 weeks! For a platinum blonde like myself, this is … [Read more...]
