I will admit, my post yesterday was a "here I'll shove something up so I don't have to write anything". However, Harper singing Annie is always worthy of a post on the blog...too sweet that gal, too sweet. You see, my mind and heart was all in a state after the weekend that was. It was whirling and … [Read more...]

This weekend was the 4th annual "Stitch & Bitch" weekend with all of the females from my Mum's side of the family. She is one of 4 sisters and they have all had daughters of their own and their sons have married fabulous women so we created an excuse for all of us to get together once a year for a … [Read more...]

That's right! Today! I am! Going to use as many! Exclamation! Points! As! I! Can!And do you know why? Well, it's 5 years today since I wrote {well Rob actually wrote it} our first ever blog post on BabyMac. Not bad hey?

Every now and then (read every few months) I get an itching for a new hairstyle. I have never understood people that have had the same hairstyles for years and years and years - how boring! I mean, it grows back - why are people so scared to change their hair? Not me - no, I am forever changing my … [Read more...]

Last weekend saw our little family head off on a road trip down to Canberra for two nights. We promised Daisy we would stay in a hotel (she calls them hell-tells and I think she is onto something there) after we had been in Bali. We decided we could go and visit touristy places, spend time with the … [Read more...]

One thing you could say about my family is that we like food. Actually we love food. And drink (mostly of the alcoholic kind, although we also like the coffee kind) and whenever we get together the combination is thoroughly enjoyed. There are usually emails or phone calls to discuss menus - back and … [Read more...]

For the past week or so Daisy has been getting teary saying how she misses "Camperdown" which was where we lived in our teeny tiny terrace in Sydney. Of course this makes no sense to me as I most definitely do not miss Camperdown. I don't miss one thing about it. Not a single thing. Sure it has … [Read more...]

One thing the Highlands does really well is Autumn. Every time I look out the window there is colour. {one of the colours I have not seen a lot of is blue. As in sky. Or yellow. As in sun}. Over by "my" chair the colours are matching those outside and while I tried to capture it it doesn't show half … [Read more...]

One thing I like to do is look after people. I like to feed people. I like to make sure they are comfortable when they are in my home. I like them to have nice things to sit on, nice things to look at, nice music to listen to, nice sheets to slip into at night, nice flowers to smell and look at and … [Read more...]

Oh my word. Daisy turned 4 today. Well not quite yet, we have to wait until 8.42pm this evening, but this morning will do. Four.A post won't do enough. Won't say enough. Won't share enough. They never do when you look back over a whole year of some one's life. But it's something. And seeing as each … [Read more...]

If there's one thing that consistent about me, it's that I am ALWAYS changing my hair. I let hairdressers do what they please - I mean they are the ones that know what they are doing, what works, what looks good - and today was no exception.Glenn, my new hairdresser {who knows what he is doing … [Read more...]

When I saw this post yesterday and saw the forecast for today I knew I had one thing to do today.This was taken not 4 minutes ago from my lounge room. I can assure you that the smell of fresh pine AND burning wood is as good as you would think it to be. As is the wine sitting right there on that … [Read more...]

If there is one thing that's been a constant since we have been here, it's that you have NO idea what the weather will do one moment to the next. I have always been a weather gal...a little obsessed some may say...it's my family honestly. When Dick Whittaker or Grahame Creed start talking about a … [Read more...]

Harper's room is FINALLY done. And by finally I mean that I still have her birthday painting to hang, but we are otherwise all done. Thought you might like a sneaky peak?Everything in the room is from her old room {Rob read that I have NOT purchased ONE THING}, it's just that it looks a gazillion … [Read more...]

Last weekend when Daisy and I were off to various parties the one thing that we kept being asked and commented on was Daisy. And how tall she is. We were asked if she was off to school next year, and when I told them that no, she was actually 3, people couldn't believe it. And actually, neither can … [Read more...]

While poor Rob stayed home almost all weekend with work and a sometimes cranky 10 month old babe with an ear infection - Daisy and I have hit the social circuit. … [Read more...]

Today Daisy and I trotted off for the afternoon to good friend's 40th. It was awesome. The sun was shining and the weather just about as perfect as a Spring Saturday can turn on. Daisy *magically* played with all the other kids that were there {who she had never met before} and was hardly near me … [Read more...]

If there is one thing I enjoy, it's indulging in food. Or should I say, over indulging. Now that is something that I am really good at. I have never really had to worry too much about my weight. Which I am grateful for. I have been blessed with a reasonable figure - I am tall {which hides a lot} and … [Read more...]

: Harper has officially arrived at Frustration Station. Grrrreat. She has decided that she would like to move, crawl, whatever but has no strength, skill or know how to do either. So she is slightly, shall we say, pissed off. Mixed in with moments of pure delight and triumph as she figures something … [Read more...]
