Just an Ordinary Day

We had a quiet day at home today… after a bit of a manic week.
Izzy was the first up at about 7:30… now that they can both get out of their cots I usually wake to the patter of little feet and then a small voice demanding ‘milk’ right in my face. Izzy had a […]

Hi, My name’s Kate and I have a computer problem…

Ok so did anyone notice that I was gone for three whole days????
Yep THREE days without a computer… and yes it nearly killed me!
Monday night my computer died. I think the motherboard was sensing some of my ‘mother resentment’ as I put Izzy back to bed for the hundredth time in a row and it […]

Found it!!!!

Thanks you to everyone who made suggestions on where to look! You’ll all be very pleased to know that I have found it! And although I am loathe to admit it, it was in a very safe place, the place I thought I had put it, the first place I checked but couldn’t find it. […]

Bugger Bum Poop Wee!

Why can’t I find it??? I am usually so careful with putting it somewhere safe, somewhere out of range of the ‘destructo twins’ so where is the bloody thing!?!?! It’s been gone since before Christmas but I wasn’t to bothered back then. I was desperate for it and […]

Out of Exile

Oh thank goodness we are finally out of exile and back in the world of ‘other people’!
What with all the family stuff on our plate then the visit from the snot monster and mystery temp disease I feel like it’s been forever since we’ve seen anyone outside this tiny circle of close family. But today […]

"cork cork cork"

Yes the chook house was finally finished late Friday (well technically it still isn’t quite done but it is done enough for our new family members!) and Si set out to his mate’s place early Saturday and came back […]

Okay?

Okay!I hear that word sooooooooooooo so many times at the moment… it’s almost all Bizzy says these days. She even said it in her sleep last night! Si and I had a good giggle listening to her argue with herself; “okay?…. okay… okay?… OKAY!” I am not sure where she got it from… I take […]

Sometimes it just all comes together…

Don’t you love it when things just all come together and work out even better than you thought?
I’ve been procrastinating A LOT (something I really need to stop doing this year…. and yes I am feeling a few New Year’s resolution coming on but I will try to hold out for as long as possible!) […]

How Does Your Garden Grow??

With weeds and snakes and very little water. That’s how my garden grows…

But it is doing surprisingly well despite all that and I am soooooooo excited! We have planted and managed not to kill all of the following….
Bok Choy - which we have been harvesting and eating and it has now started to go to […]

Happy New Year!

Well it is that time of year again… New Year’s Day.
I always think I should do something totally fabulous for New year’s eve but hardly ever do. I can count on one hand how many truly great New year’s eves I have had. One pretty good one in recent years involved a tent, Si and […]
