I spent Saturday night away with all the females from my Mother's side of the family at our annual Stitch and Bitch weekend. My little sister and I cooked all 14 of us the most delicious pork belly for dinner and afterwards when we were sitting around having a natter and a glass or 4 of wine, my … [Read more...]

This book is on our coffee table post bed time reading. And you know what? It was written by Claire who also writes a blog, and who reads this one. She went and WROTE A BOOK. A kids book! A very good kids book too! You can buy it here. You should. Anyone that goes and does something like deserves … [Read more...]

I like eating out with my kids. We tend to do it once a week, even if it's just at the pub for a casual pizza. Growing up, we were lucky enough to eat out with my family every so often, but there were strict rules about good behaviour and it usually involved my little sister falling asleep under the … [Read more...]

Fact: flowers in vases will improve your mood and make your house feel more like a home. See? All these jonquils and early cheers are now around, are cheap as chips and smell lovely. That is, of course, unless you can't stand the smell. You all know my thoughts on one pot cooking right? I … [Read more...]

We're home. Which is always good, but certainly colder. And with a washing situation. And empty cupboards. Nothing takes away a holiday buzz like a supermarket shop does it? We had a great time. I tuned out almost completely online, and it was bliss. I hung out with the kids. With Rob. With the … [Read more...]

So Rob has been busy. He went and created a new iPad magazine. And it's now available for download. Instead of me rabbiting on about it, I'll let BERT tell you a little about it: BERT is for every man (and woman) who has ever been generally interested in things that are generally … [Read more...]

Last night, before putting my daughters to bed, I read my three-year old this fabulous book. It's by Lucy Cousins who writes the Maisy series and the illustrations are bright and colourful and fun. Harper loved it. And so did I. It's about Dog, and his friends. And how dog puts himself up against … [Read more...]

So we have another spill on our hands. FOR THE LOVE OF SWEET BABY CHEESES! These people could not organise a root in a brothel could they? They are worse than my 3 year old and her mates. I'm just about ready to put EVERYONE into a time out. Enough said. Did I tell you guys about the food on … [Read more...]

Edited 3/7/13: Winner has been chosen: SUE N with this comment: I have been known to have a cheeky sick day, without any of my family knowing. I get up and get dressed and do everything as normal and then after all drop offs are done, I go home and watch crap TV for the day and eat the cheeky … [Read more...]

It's turned cold out there. Suppose that happens in winter. I hope you have your bed layered up good and proper? I find that a 3 year old is quite a good hot water bottle. Just beware, they kick. Hasn't it been a depressing news week? I've spent a lot of time in the car over the past 2 days … [Read more...]

Thought you'd like a little look-see that what has become famously known around these parts as THE HOUR OF POWER. The playlist for the last hour of the ball was professional - a couple of speakers whacked into Rob's lappy. Created Friday night after a few drinks, Rob and I think we did a STELLAR job … [Read more...]

I've just not been round here these past few days. There just hasn't been time - I would say sorry, but it is what it is and hopefully in a few days time (and this event is done) life will be back to some kind of normal. Until then? Well, there's still some stuff, the occasional Facebook update and … [Read more...]

It looks a little like this outside this morning: But luckily it looks like this inside: Ideal Sunday morning conditions. IDEAL. I plan on doing nothing much all day. Maybe drink some coffee. Sit on the lounge and read Daily Mail, you know, things like that. It's one week until the … [Read more...]
