Keep forgetting to share…

Did these a few days ago and keep forgetting to share them here! Both are done with the awesome ‘best buds’ kit by Carole Neale at digiscrappin.biz.This last one is a scraplift of the lovely Peta’s LO ‘Beautiful’which used to be on her blog (but now I can’t find it) but it is definitely […]

Anthony! grrrrrr!

Just quickly….
Does it bother any other Wiggle watching parent that Anothony (the blue Wiggle) jumps ten times higher than all the other wiggles when they are dancing? He looks like a complete fool, bending his knees up extra high and jumping in a totally different style to the other Wiggles.
Ok perhaps I need […]

Something to brighten the days…

This is for Lisa who reminded me to enjoy the good things…. and Leah who just needs a blog to read!
Wednesday was my Mum’s 60th birthday. In usual style she didn’t want a fuss, and having just been on a holiday to Vanuatu as her present from Dad when we arrived mid morning with a […]

just stuff…

I am not very coherent tonight so this will just be a list of ’stuff’ that I want to get down…
1. We made a very cool birthday present for my Mum… The girls hand painted her a teapot since she is a bit tea drinker. They chose red and yellow and it does look a […]

The week that was a few days late.

Ok so as you can see by the few and far between blog posts things have been a bit wild around here of late! Only my second week into my weekly round-ups and it is already Tuesday and nothing posted… so will launch into that now and fill you in on the rest later.
So last […]

You know you live in the country when….

It’s sort of odd saying that we live ‘in the country’ or in a ‘rural area’ because well.. while we do technically live in a rural area (ie it is outside metropolitan Melbourne and we have an STD phone number) we are actually closer to Melbourne CBD than a lot of suburbs are. So while […]

things that make me smile….

Ok following Annette’s lead on her blog…. Things that made me smile today :)
- Seeing my 10 month old niece pull herself up on Izzy and them both topple to the ground laughing!- Hearing Izzy tell Bobo (her grand dad) what we do with the millipedes.. “Burn the suckers!”
- Making Zoe say ‘doridee’ (Dorothy) […]

Last week…

I have been reading ‘month in review’ posts on heaps of blogs lately and just love the idea. A big part of this blog (apart from sharing my scrapping) is to record life, all the stuff I might actually be able to look back and laugh about in years to come if only I could […]

I wish… just for a little while…

Warning : this is going to be a long winded ‘it’s not fair’ kind of post about my children.. read at your own risk!
We had a lovely day at Kate’s Bye Bye Bubba J party. The kids had a great time running themselves ragged and I always enjoy actually being able to talk to other […]

I NEED a break from everyone desperately needing something!
Added to the […]
