Grateful Friday

I was going to add a really great photo and write about all kinds of stuff. I was also going to make some banners for every day of the week (why be restricted to Friday yeah?) but instead I only have one thing to be grateful for this week….
I am grateful that I managed to […]

It’s back!

When the Twinadoes were almost three the ‘Evil Finger of Shame’ made it’s first appearance in our house. There was a period where it was used many times in a day and even patches where Izzy didn’t say anything at all unless it was accompanied by the ‘EFoS’.
For the 6 months or more the […]

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Well wouldn’t you know it - ‘Wordless Wednesday‘ and I am actually posting an image and not much else. So this definitely counts right? Even if it is categorised under ‘wise words’?

“It’s okay to be kind to our children. It’s okay to give them a feeling of abundance. Knowing that their own needs and wants […]

Project? What Project?

Thanks everyone, for the laundry advice, especially thanks to those who told me I was not alone in my love (ha!) of laundry. You all must now head on over to Musings of a Mummy B to see her amazing post all about laundry. I bow down before thee oh queen of the laundry!

Issue #5 - I really don’t like putting it away.
Ok so I just don’t like […]

This happens to me every now and then. This person who you know so intimately, who is almost part of you. You were sure […]

Yet Another Friday to be Grateful For…

Little hand and blackberries.

Two pairs of little hands with purple stained finger tips. They are careful of the prickles. They know not to pick the red ones. They search deep into the brambles looking for the big, juicy, purple berries. They want to make jam but little hands pop more berries in their mouths than […]

A few good blogs…

I know it has been a while since I finalised my PIF winners and I have been slack not finishing up with this, reviewing their blogs and sending their cards. The cards are sitting on my desk ready to go so now all that is left is to review these great blogs!

Kylie’s blog is a […]

Margarita Anyone?

I am thinking of taking up drinking again. Drinking alcohol that is.
I’ve been pretty much a teetotaller (I had to google that word to see how to spell it and found a great wikipedia entry for it! There are just so many things I don’t know!) since my middle twenties. Back then, in my […]
