And if anyone needs me for the next few days, that's where I'll be. All 4 of us are heading off at sparrows this morning for some time in the country. Sure, I should be packing or something, but surely time with family surrounded by all that beauty is needed more? Rob will be flying back Monday … [Read more...]

Last week I opened up my emails like I always do, hoping for a little comment on the blog which always makes me ever so happy. It makes opening up my emails a nice surprise each and every time, and may also make me compulsively open my emails 45 times a day. But that's another story...So I opened my … [Read more...]

I have a confession to make. Now that I have a new house to decorate and fill and make into a home, it appears that I cannot stop looking at blogs and magazines and online shops for inspirations. Now all I need is an endless budget and I will be able to create the house of my dreams. Some of the … [Read more...]

How does a weekend that you look forward to for so long just come by and hurry past so quickly? NOT FAIR. Not that I am complaining (although I am pretty sure I will somewhere further down the post) it was a GREAT weekend. Fabulous. Everything I hoped it would be. And then some. Where shall we … [Read more...]

See that sign there? It's the one that has been out the front of our house for the past 4 weeks. See that sticker right there on that sign? Oh, that would be A SOLD STICKER ON THE SIGN OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE. See the date up there at the top of your screen? Why, yes it is Thursday. The Thursday before … [Read more...]

I have seen a few comments here and there and certainly almost daily someone stops me to talk about Harper's hair. Harper's hair...up there. August is notoriously windy, full of static and electricity, and everyone who talks about her hair, thinks it's so funny the way the electricity has made it … [Read more...]

I was reading this post from the fabulous Maxabella this morning, and it tickled my fancy, so I thought I might just play along. I'm good like that. My report cards always said that I played well with others.So. Here is what my fridge looks like this month. It is symptomatic of the fact that we are … [Read more...]

I'm not going to come on here and complain about the weekend that just passed. Go on and on about how Daisy was sick almost the entire time with a stomach bug or something that meant she was on the toilet the whole time (including both nights as well) because hey, it would have been much worse being … [Read more...]

I don't see my Dad as much as I would like to. Or should do. It's one of those things with divorced parents. You always see one side more than the other. And the fact that he lives up the coast means that we just don't get up there as much as we should. Or could. Or something.But the other night we … [Read more...]

I had a hair appointment yesterday. Those that follow me on twitter would already know this, and those that are my 'friends' on Facebook would also know. I was contemplating a pixie cut (thanks to Emma Watson and her delightful transition) but as my Mum said to me (because she heard it on the View … [Read more...]

Monday mid morning I headed grocery shopping with both gals in tow, which I was quite pleased about. I haven't done this many times (usually try and go solo on the weekends when Rob is home for sanity and ease and let's face it, escape). But when I did it, and did it SO well I got a little cocky. So … [Read more...]

: Daisy keeps going to pack her bags. Cause we are moving. And can't quite understand why we are not moving just yet? Because I clearly got excited and said we were moving...? And it's going to be months before we actually do move. Oh it must seem like a lifetime for a little lady...: Harper is … [Read more...]

I am quite tempted to throw my very own three old tantrum at the sheer prospect of it being Monday this morning. It JUST WON'T DO. Anyway. Sheesh. Blah. Gah.The weekend was a blur of trips to the hospital, cleaning, barking at the kids (and Rob. Actually especially Rob), dealing with a whiny baby … [Read more...]

What a weekend! Last night when I put my feet up and had a well deserved beer I felt quite proud of all our achievements...in such a short time too. The house is well and truly de-cluttered and doesn't look too kid/family like. We are ready to go for the first open house on Saturday afternoon. The … [Read more...]

Oh my goodness. Today I looked at the date - the 30th! THE 30th! My little lady's 9 months just passed me by with no mention. How remiss of me. Please excuse me Harper and all of her fans.The little lady is now 9 months (and a few *ahem* days). This past month has seen a HUGE change in her well … [Read more...]

It is action station around here at the moment. Well in my head at least. I have mental lists swimming around and around, and yet nothing actually seems to be happening. I start to de-clutter Daisy's room and then get completely swept up and distracted by something else, and then remember something … [Read more...]

What a weekend. Nothing planned. Nothing to rush around for. No open houses (that I know are just around the corner). Time at home. Delightful.Saturday morning Rob and Daise headed off to her first swimming lesson for the term. She hasn't been doing formal lessons as such and I thought that it was … [Read more...]

I know. I know. Can you believe it? Can you BELIEVE it? Can I stop repeating myself?But let me back it up a bit. A week or so ago I wrote this post in response to some of the changes that have been made in my life. Our lives. Finishing work. Getting Harper out of daycare. Getting some behavioural … [Read more...]

3.30pm: call received from Harper's paediatrician indicating that her blood results were perfect. PERFECT! Sure, she has some high allergic cells, but we knew that right? And best result? She is NOT a coeliac. That was something I was worried about. This? This is GOOD news.4.30pm: I officially … [Read more...]
