2007 in review

Well I had hoped to be able to do this on a brand spanking new blog - but I am still playing around with all that so you are stuck with me here for at least another week or two. In light of that news and since I will be either dying of heat exhaustion […]

Christmas - been and gone for another year!

So another Christmas has been and gone.
Sometimes I can’t quite believe that my little girls are big enough to have their own ideas about Christmas but they are, and they did. We are not big into Santa in this house. I have my reservations about the commercialisation of Santa and Christmas and Zoe is still […]

Oops!

Don’t you love it when you hide a present so good that when it comes time to wrap it you can’t find it?
Despite these being the longest days of the year I still don’t feel like I have enough time!!!

“When can we open our vent box that is hanging on the christmas sticks on top of the cham-pano?”
Yes if you live in our house you have to know how to talk ‘twinado’. To translate - we made an ‘advent tree’ made out of sticks (the ‘christmas sticks) with little boxes to […]

Thanks Dee!

Thanks to Dee over at Shhhh not so loud! She reminded me what day it was by also posting about ‘Grateful Friday’. Phew! In the lead up to Christmas I have no idea what day it us!
So today I am grateful…
For the rain….It has rained buckets here the last two days. It started Wednesday evening […]

It’ll grow back… eventually…

I happened to mention to the girls the other night that they needed a hair cut. They must have assumed I meant that I’d be ever so grateful if they took that job off my list so the next day they found the one pair of scissors I have not locked away and had a […]

Is that healthy food Mamma?

My girls are obsessed with whether food is ‘healthy’ or ‘a special treat’. Undoubtedly they learnt this from me, just as I learnt from my Mother that you should hide in the pantry when you want to eat food you don’t allow your children. Since we don’t actually have a pantry to hide in (though […]

Muski the Monster

In other Muski news… as I said in the previous post, he is almost 6 months old, where that time went I have no clue. Well ok, I do know, a good portion of it was spent sitting right here like I am now.. cranky baby in arms, typing one handed while trying to get […]

Uh Oh, here comes trouble!

Muski is on the move!
He is not quite 6 months old (his half birthday is Christmas day) and no, he is not a genius child, he is not crawling already, or walking. He is rolling.
I lay him down on the floor on a nice soft rug, thinking to get a few things done while I […]

Grateful Friday

I am grateful for stuff today… I am sure of it…. but it’s hot and I feel blergh… and… whatever.
I can’t be bothered doing anything. I am grumpy. I yelled at my kids for no good reason and I am mad with Baldy Boy for leaving the door open and letting bugs in.
So I guess […]
