Each night I put Daisy to bed. Whether Rob is home, or not, it's a little routine we have gotten into and as much as I complain about it from time to time and may or may not use phrases such as "Why do I have to do every bloody thing all the bloody time?!" in my very own special 33 year old tantrum … [Read more...]

Last week I decided that this week I needed to get to Sydney. I had a touch of the cabin fever, a large dose of the baby with major separation anxiety and with school holidays on our door step it was the perfect chance to escape for a few days. So when Monday came around and Harper was acting like a … [Read more...]

Today marks 6 months since we moved here. Since I wrote this post and we started on our new life here in this amazing home. In this beautiful village. In this special part of the world. I have always had in my head that 12 months will be the milestone to get to, much in the same way I held onto that … [Read more...]

It's so much easier to get up at 6am when it's bright and looking like morning isn't it? Fortunately for me (because yesterday was Rob's wake up and he had to get up at 5am), the kids and I were up at 6 which was really 7, which was really awesome. Despite the fact that all three of us have colds. … [Read more...]

It's all been love and sunshine and lolly pops around here this week hasn't it? And it has been, kind of. And yet I have also been a little down suffering from post wedding blues, post looking forward to something blues, and just getting on with life. Here are 5 things I have not been on top of this … [Read more...]

Saturday Rob and I celebrated 6 years of married life together and while my present did not arrive in time {from France!} I was presented with it when we returned from the wedding on Monday afternoon. And boy was it worth the wait! The traditional present for 6 years is iron or sugar {um, OK} and … [Read more...]

Friday morning we awoke to a beautiful day but we didn't get much of a chance to enjoy it there was plenty to do. Tables to set. Lights to hang in trees. Signs to put up. Bouquets to make. Flower arrangements to be placed everywhere. And each and every one of us all got stuck in - family, friends, … [Read more...]

We're baaaaack! A mountain of washing, tired legs and very tired children and feeling a little flat as you do when the thing you have been looking forward to for such a long time finally comes, and then goes. And what a triumph it was! If I tried to cover it all off in one post I would actually … [Read more...]

One of the best bits about the weekend that just passed {which we know was pretty good} was spending some time with my older sister who had come up from Melbourne for the big occasion. It was extra special to have her there - all the girls in my family all together - sharing such a memorable time … [Read more...]

A few days ago our local nearest town held their Annual "show". A formal explanation is as follows: An agricultural show is a public event showcasing the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal husbandry. The largest comprise a livestock show (a judged event … [Read more...]

I picked up a cheap dressing gown for Daisy last week from Big W which she is totally in love with. This of course made Harper a little jeal, so I hunted through some old clothes out the back and found just the thing I was after a hand me down dressing gown from one of the cousins in her size and … [Read more...]

Ahhhhhhh. Did you hear that? It's a huge sigh of relief that 'the' partay was a huge success! A relief that it all went to plan. Relief that the bride to be and all her friends had an absolute ball {I think?!}. Relief that all the things that I had planned actually turned out better than I could … [Read more...]

There have been several times this week when I have been struck down by a wave of wooze {and before you ask, no I am not pregnant. You have to have sex to get pregnant...der!}. You know the kind that makes you feel sick, instantly, and takes a little while to get rid of? No? Here, let me … [Read more...]

Nothing makes me happier than fresh flowers in vases in my home. For something so simple and {sometimes} cheap it brings you happiness for a week. A smile will appear each and every time I pass them by. That is, until they shrivel up and die.I picked these colourful pretties up for under $15 on the … [Read more...]

Well, the pictures pretty much speak for themselves.There was champagne. 3 sweet, delicious, fabulous bottles of the stuff.There was the most picture perfect afternoon with some scones and then a cheeky trip up to the pub for a drink.There was some pork belly which … [Read more...]

Not a day goes by when I don't walk past one part of our house {inside or out} and think to myself "oh my GOD how beautiful is that?" Whether it's some flowers sitting just so, the view out the window, a part of the garden or the sun shining into a room in a certain way it always seems to take my … [Read more...]

I am almost certain that if I was having a conversation with some of my 'real life' friends & family and told them that this weekend I am having 2 friends I have met over the Internet, through my blog, come to stay in my house for a night they would think I had gone mad. That I was crazy. That it … [Read more...]

I swear a few weeks ago now Daisy woke up and asked to do some drawing right away. And all of a sudden, she could draw. Like *that*. It was the strangest thing, like something clicked in the night and it worked. Kind of like the fact that she has worked out the not weeing thing at night. It just … [Read more...]

I am completely unimpressed that it's Monday morning so much so that I am NOT even going to mention it this morning. Not once. Stupid Monday.We had a busy Saturday leaving home at 7.30am and heading up to Sydney for the day to go to a special family event - a naming day for all of Rob's brother's … [Read more...]

So when I have nothing very interesting to say about the now, I may just have something of interest from the then? Maybe? Maybe not.I have always enjoyed a little blast from the past on this little blog, I love that you can remember something - anything - say a Tia Maria TV ad from the 1980's and … [Read more...]
