New Arrivals.

These are the latest refugee chooks to join us at the Pickle Farm. Another four Isa Browns, very much like the remaining four we rescued from certain death (well ok that is probably a tad melodramatic, but they are ex battery hens…) when we first moved up here. The chook’s old house has been sold […]

Sleepy Songs.

I have sung the same lullaby to the Twinadoes since they were in NICU, ‘Baby Mine’ the song from the Dumbo Movie. I still sing it to Muski but since he takes forever to get to sleep I have to admit I am totally over it. I am a bit picky about my lullabies too… […]

poo

It is scary to think just how much of my day to day life revolves around poo.
Who does it. Where they do it. What we catch it in. Who cleans it up. How often it is done. What it looks like and smells like. How often we talk about it and how many jokes […]

Sundries…

I have a few bits and pieces to report on today… sundries.
Making My Day!
Firsly the gorgeous Tiff over at My Three Ring Circus gave me this award the other day!
Tiff is a gorgeous mother of two sets of twins and then some.. stop on over and say hi. I can’t pick any one blog or […]

Things I need to stop the Twinadoes saying before next week…

*warning - this post contains some mildy offensive language*
The Twinadoes start kinder (preschool) in a little over a week. Lately I have been noticing several phrases that they use which I probably would rather they not share with their new teachers and kinder class mates.
“Totally Crappy”
They got this from me. Zoe says it all the […]

Smiley Saturday!

At the risk of being too overly happy, grateful and optimistic I thought I might share the Mr Linky Love (since I am hoping for some of my own eventually) and follow yesterdays gratefulness with today’s Smiley Saturday - bought to you by the fabulous Lightening!
I actually didn’t think I had much to smile about […]

52 Blessings to be Grateful For on Friday?

So I am still playing the grateful game and combining it with my ‘52 Blessings’ photo for the week. I am still trying to come up with a catchy title for all that… if I do I might just start me a Mr Linky do-hickey so that you can all join me… You will […]

Things I have learnt this week.

How to get super slime out of a small child’s eyebrows.
Birds wee and poo at the same time, out of the same hole
Pigs like to eat hair, even when it is attached to your head
You can snort 100’s and 1000’s
I am not as strong as I used to be

Zucchini a Day

Some people are doing the ‘photo a day’ thing (where you blog a photo every day of the year) but in our house it is ‘zucchini a day’ where the challenge is to eat a zucchini every day until the end of the season!

These are the three remaining monsters of five that we picked two […]

Pay It Forward

So here I was reading some new bloggy goodness the other day, over at A Roaming Aussie Mum and the first post I read was about this blogging ‘pay it forward’ idea. Roaming Aussie Mum had won her PIF from Lightening and guess what, I won mine from her!
So here I am thinking […]
