See that date there at the top right of your screen? The 27th? THE 27TH???!!!! That date means that my baby is 6 months old today. SIX! I can't believe it. Half a whole year.

The weekend was filled with: Great weather. Including one very wet rainy afternoon and evening perfect for nursing a hangover I spent perfecting late into Saturday night.Sitting. And being. And nursing the baby.Working (of the work and fishing kind).Gardening. With many helpers this often didn't … [Read more...]

On Monday (otherwise known as the day with no TV whatsoever that almost killed me) I was looking for some distraction. Something to fill up the time until bedtime. So we did what I always do when I have time like that up my sleeve, I took the kids round to my Mum's place so SHE could play with them … [Read more...]

I have many flaws. One of my worst parenting flaws though, is my doom and gloom attitude when things start to go just a little off track. You can imagine then, just how I am all rainbows and lolly pops when things really turn bad. In fact, right here is an example of this doom and gloom approach - I … [Read more...]

Let's just have a quiet moment and soak up that image. And by all of us, I mean, me. I need it. A deep breath. Some pretty. A reminder of all the good things in life. All the important things. Like love. And not screaming toddlers with the attitude of a 15 year old. And sick, teething babies. Hang … [Read more...]

We are (almost) there. We now have a few finishing touches to make like a new outdoor setting, removal of black plastic from the right hand side (still there to make sure the stain from the timber does not run onto new pavers) and a lick of paint for the back of the house and potentially the back … [Read more...]

Oh it was ALL about the wedding this weekend. And that was alright with me. Yesterday we headed off to the Bridal Expo at Darling Harbour. I know. Enough to make a gal feel a little woozy first thing on a Sunday morning, but we thought it might be a bit of a laugh and in any case it will show just … [Read more...]

Nothing really needs to be said does it?One (not so) little lady has been turned around in the car and she likes. She likes very much.Those cheeks spilling out while she sleeps? Her Mumma likes. Likes VERY much. … [Read more...]

This is quite possibly one of the funniest things. Ever. I know, a big call, but it NEVER fails to make me laugh. Out loud. Over and over. In fact, I just let her go for as long as she can (that, or when all the bath water is kicked out of the bath). If you have a drink in your mouth, swallow now or … [Read more...]

So. Whaddya think? It's the new me! I have been SO sick of that old template for the longest time and every time I had a look at other free templates online I never saw anything that caught my eye. Until now that is.Isn't it pretty? And cute and yet stylish? AND I had to edit HTML code and … [Read more...]

Have a look at the invite my little sis used for her engagement party. Cool no? She found (stole) the idea from someone and Rob went and took all the shots and put the whole thing together.It's quite fabulous isn't it? Oh and I CAN'T WAIT for the night. No kidlets = time to celebrate in style! Next … [Read more...]

So, yesterday I bit the bullet and called work. It had to happen sooner or later and of course I left it to the latest possible moment before calling.Don't get me wrong. I love my work. It's a great company filled with even better people, many who I am lucky enough to call my good friends. But it's … [Read more...]

I am a Internet addict. I can admit it. The break in Fiji actually meant that there was at least one day where I didn't check emails, or the blog, or twitter, or facebook. But then when I got a chance I had a quick sneaky at one of them, just to see what was happening. See what I mean? I am, … [Read more...]

Things are moving along in the front/backyard fix up. We came back from holidays to a whole new garden out the front which is bringing me ENDLESS joy. I am watering in my new Little Gem magnolias & box hedge. Fence is still to go in but it went from this...Sure the above shot was taken from years … [Read more...]

Warning: This post will contain shameless self (well husbandly) promotion of his new TV show. This will be the first of many, many said blatant promotion for the benefit of raising awareness of his new TV show, and mostly just showing how immensely proud I am of him. If I cannot do it here (and … [Read more...]

Our little buddha is 5 months old today. Jeepers. And what a month it has been. Teeth! 2 of them with 2 more on the way (bottom through and top ready to roll) and all without too much trouble. In fact they appeared before I cottoned on to what was happening. So typical of Harper - taking the back … [Read more...]

I know this will be the second time in a week that I have gone on about the light...but...you guys...the light! The autumnal light! Sure the weather has been anything but autumnal, but there is something about the late afternoon/early evening round here that is just plain beautiful.Exhibit A and B. … [Read more...]

I made the fatal error last week of looking at Sydney properties on the 'off chance' that we 'might' like to move in the next 'little' while. We are in a great (smallish) terrace in a great location and home invaders, no parking and parties aside I LOVE living here 90% of the time. Actually, … [Read more...]

It's all about the Barbie Dolls around here. And I am not really complaining. I can brush hair and change ensembles like the best of them, in fact, I was THE Barbie player back in my day. Yesterday though it was ALL about the Barbies. My friend and favourite blogger Pink Patent Mary Janes wrote … [Read more...]
