I wish that I had the decorating skills {and or actual stuff} to pull together a cohesive, crisp Christmas display. Maybe one year I will decide on a 'theme' and then actually spend more than $2 on decorations. Maybe.  What we do have is an eclectic mix of small odds and ends, mostly all given to … [Read more...]

So. It's still raining. But you knew that already right? I have had a crazy busy morning and only just realised the time. I have dropped Daisy off at school, done the shopping {and unpacked}, done 3 loads of washing because THIS CAN'T GO ON and I just have to wash. I even put things on the line in … [Read more...]

A month or so ago Harper got stuck into some pineapple which she was totally into at the time, until many hours later she was screaming and literally crawling up my arms holding on for dear life. The other end, it would appear, did not like the pineapple so much. After a frazzled drive to the doctor … [Read more...]

The changes in the girls since we have moved here are both on the outside and the inside. They are both healthier looking - from all the time spent outside, the the fresh air, the sunshine. They are stronger from all the walks into town and also just getting around such a bigger space. They are … [Read more...]

I'm all for for signs. I am always on the look out for them and seem to read into the silliest things - calling it a sign! A number plate - a name of a shop - anything can be A SIGN! And yes it always has to have a ! after it! OK!Anyway, over the weekend I happened to spot the world's most beautiful … [Read more...]

Yesterday didn't quite go to {my} plan. Funny how that happens in life with kids isn't it? Little Miss Harper has had her cranky pants on for the past week {has it only really been about a week?!} and spends her days going like this:Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. EH. EHHHHHHH. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh. EH. EHHHHHHH. … [Read more...]

Not me. The wall decal.A while back now Maxabella did a wee post on a little Etsy Store that she had stumbled across via someone else I think (?!) don't you love the Internet? Anyway, at the time I was like "I have SO many walls to fill up and I like that. And that. And OH I really like that!" With … [Read more...]

It would appear that another WRR {weekend refund required} is er, required. Our first one without any visitors was meant to be just us. Relaxing. A wee trip to Sydney for a friend's birthday and a little visit to a Grandma too. Instead Saturday I woke in a cloud of grump which lasted for most of the … [Read more...]

Growing up I was lucky enough to go to a school that had boarders attend. Some of my best friends {still to this very day} were good, honest {ha} girls from the country and I was lucky enough to be able to spend time on their properties each and every holidays. I spent many a time at a Picnic race … [Read more...]

I got an email a few months ago asking if I wanted to participate in a global campaign to raise awareness/take into consideration the environment when purchasing books. Because I was clearly deranged from packing my house and thought I was indestructible and capable of everything and I kind of like … [Read more...]

Late yesterday afternoon when the gals were having dinner the dark storm clouds finally lifted and in streamed the sunshine. Everything glittered as the sunshine dried off the raindrops. You could almost hear {and see} the grass grow much to Rob's dismay...This morning I need this sunshine. I need … [Read more...]

I have said it before and will no doubt say it again, you know when you just look at something, at how things have been placed {without even thinking about it/deliberately put that way} and it just makes you step back to soak up it's beauty?I did that tonight. I was rushing to put Harper's … [Read more...]

I remember when I first started blogging and I would put up a post {every few weeks or so} updating people{?} or whoever it was - my family & friends I think?! - about being pregnant and how things were coming along. And then one day, I got my first comment - I actually think it was from Rob's … [Read more...]

The afternoon is getting cooler by the minute. The mists and fogs have been in and out all morning and the drizzly rain is starting to get a little heavier. It all certainly matches my mood perfectly. The last of our weekend guests have just left and quiet {except for the sound of a PlaySchool DVD} … [Read more...]

This morning is no exception, we still have guests here for the day so I won't be back until later this afternoon with anything resembling a post.Until then, I would quite like to be laying on the floor with my littlest … [Read more...]

She did it. Backpack on. Lunch boxes packed. Dropped off. Kiss given. Off she went to big Pre School. The start of another chapter begins. I couldn't be prouder of the little thing. Look at her!Afterwards Harper and I went and had coffee with one of the Dad's {who happens to be a neighbour as well} … [Read more...]

Before I begin this morning I just wanted to write a little note about a comment on my blog yesterday from Anonymous. When I read it, I instantly laughed out loud. And I instantly knew who it was. My big brother {who claims he doesn't read my blog}. Being a smart arse, doing what big brothers always … [Read more...]

Out of one {of 3!} windows in our bedroom, this one makes my heart sing. For I can see the LOVE of my life at the moment.My clothes line.Stop it! Who knew I would get so much pleasure out of something so simple? I think it's the past 6 years of living in a terrace, and then before that, in units for … [Read more...]

A few months ago now I was approached by Real Nappies to road test their cloth nappies. I think at the time I replied "Um, I don't think I am your demographic, I have never used a cloth nappy, and don't think I intend on doing so. But thanks, it always is good for the ego to be "approached" about … [Read more...]
