Saturday saw our little family on (another) road trip. That's right, this is the third weekend in a row that we have packed up and headed overnight somewhere different. Luckily our destination wasn't too far away...and certainly worth the trip.But! Our accommodation. Wow. Last weekend we stayed in a … [Read more...]

: Yesterday was a work day which meant that I had to bribe Daisy with something to get out the door. A treat, or something (exhibit 345 of Beth's champagne parenting). I found a packet of chocolate pencils (basically chocolate sticks wrapped in coloured foil in a pencil box) that she thought were … [Read more...]

Oh my stars am I still at work?! I said to Mum this morning that I am pretty sure I resigned 8 weeks ago now (well it certainly seems like it). Everyone keeps asking me how the whole stay at home Mum thing is going...and I will be sure to let them know - the minute it actually starts! Which, in case … [Read more...]

A cheeky opportunity to chase some dreams came up on the weekend...so we did just that. Dream. But properly dream. Like dream in the flesh, not just over the net. I know. I KNOW. Have we gone mad?!It was a great night away and 2 days - we left 8.30am Saturday morning and got home lunch time today. … [Read more...]

Last night these two...oh these two! They were giggly. In bed together. Not wanting to sleep. Hilarious. Excited to be together. Delicious.And how on earth could I be anything other than amazed that I am their mother. That Rob and I made these two. Sheesh...Here's to a better weekend than last. … [Read more...]

As you would know, we have had a pretty rough trot the last 3 months now. Sickness turned into sickness rolled into time off work rolled into resigning from work...and that's just me! Don't get me started on poor Harper who has been the actual sick one ;) It's been a really stressful time for us all … [Read more...]

Ah...the weekend. The weekend we had planned for many, many months. The extra, cheeky long weekend. Well, it didn't *quite* go to plan. It wasn't *quite* what we hoped for. This snap says it all...We had one miserable little lass on our hands. Late last week I tweeted to the world things like … [Read more...]

Summer holidays 1980something. My brother and little sister.Last week my (lucky) brother headed overseas with his wife and beautiful 3 kids for 4 weeks in the sun...in amazing Croatia! I know. I KNOW. His wife's family are originally from this small coastal island paradise and her Mum and Dad have … [Read more...]

Oh it is properly winter at the moment isn't it? Sunday night I just could not get warm in my own bed unless I was Koala beared onto Rob's Back and then for most of the day yesterday I could not get warm. All day. You know when you are cold to the bone?And then last night I was up and down my stairs … [Read more...]

I have not laughed this hard in a long time. A loooong time. Tonight Rob was frantically tapping away on his laptop and when I asked what he was doing he just giggled. Then he showed me this. Warning: this is a little rude. But hilarious. If you are easily shocked do NOT read this post. Mum and … [Read more...]

Blogthis are celebrating their 50th challenge this week and I thought that I better get off my lazy bottom and finally enter one of these things. I have no excuse for my lack of participation in these weekly challenges except, well, laziness. As you will see I am really good excuses, but let's just … [Read more...]

I have been meaning to get to this post all week but somehow life got in the way. Funny how life does that.But. Monday bought us the final episode of I ROCK. The season finale. And the end of the show (for hopefully just) now. I loved the show. Sure I am completely bias and not at all able to be … [Read more...]

Updated 2.00pm: back from a morning out and about including a trip to the doctor. Upon which we discovered that Harper DOES have a perforated ear drum and I have a case of sinusitis that needs not 1 but 2 rounds of antibiotics. So in between getting rid of the vast amount of green snot from me, I … [Read more...]

Right now we are deep within a shall we say, difficult time. As parents we have travelled down this road many a time. Perhaps too many a time. We seem to be here more often than not. And what seems like more often than anyone else has. It's a lonely road. It's a tiring trip, emotionally, physically, … [Read more...]

It never happens.Then she quite got into the whole photo shoot thing and posed up a storm. This is also … [Read more...]

There is something about being up at the farm that brings out the inner (dessert) chef in me. I think it's because I am relaxed, and not distracted by cleaning or washing or chores to be done which so easily happens when I am home. It's having the time to read recipes, ponder, dwell and then decide … [Read more...]

If you can believe it, as I hardly can, our fish, Princess & Bruce have been with us for one year. See? This time last year? I know, it's a real achievement!Well done you two!

Check! Misery? Check! Not sleeping? Check! All weekend poor baby Harper was entirely, completely and … [Read more...]

It's hard to believe that another year has gone by. It seems like only a few months ago now that I wrote about it, and yet it's already been another year.Today it's 2 years since Daisy's little friend Lachlan died. That beautiful little boy who was 16 months old, put to bed for his afternoon sleep, … [Read more...]

Last week I had just the reminder I needed of why we live where we live. I really do love this little house, I mean it has SO many memories for us, and it's our very first house that we have owned, so of course it is especially close to my heart. But sometimes, and more often than not lately, I have … [Read more...]
