The Easiest Easter Biscuits Ever!

The Twinadoes wanted to bake something ‘Eastery’ this afternoon. I toyed with the idea of trying some hot cross buns because we do love them so, but in the end we went with something super easy and something very hands on. This is so easy even the non-bakers among us (Annette!) can manage, because there […]

So Much to be Thankful For (on Friday!)

(Muski - specially for Tiff!)
My Grateful Friday post is an easy one to write this week.
Yesterday we visited to Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. The Twinadoes had skin scratch tests done to find out what they are allergic to and how severely they react. The tests went well, they confirmed what we already suspected; […]

Just A Few Words Wednesday

I can’t do totally wordless… so lets call this ‘Just a few Words’ Wednesday

Bribery and Corruption

It is the end of the Twinadoes first term of kinder (preschool) (we have an appointment on Thursday so they will actually miss their last session). Some of you might be surprised at the lack of blog posts about the girls starting kinder. Surely that would be something big to write about? Well yes, it […]

Common Threads…

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Organise ‘08 - Household Folder Help?

At the start of the year I was all motivated and really ready to get the house and our lives a bit more organised. Oh I had big plans, I had high ideals, I was going to keep on top of the laundry for goodness sake.
It’s March now (March? where the heck did February […]

Singing it Their Way…

The lovely Lightening hosts ‘Smiley Saturday’ and I am joining in today!
What makes me smile?? The Twinadoes singing.
They love to sing. They like to sing on their own, they like to sing together and very rarely they will let one of us adults sing along too. They sing a lot, sometimes at odd moments […]

It’s that time of the week again - Grateful Friday

Grateful Friday is a little motivator to help us all remember to be thankful. Even when it feels like the whole world is against us, and everything is going wrong, it helps just to take a moment and remember something good, something to be grateful for.
There are no ‘rules’. It doesn’t matter if you post […]

Party Round up…

So the week of partying has come to an end, and boy am I exhausted! I’ve had a great time, posted lots of silly things, had my most ever hits in a day (over 300!) and my most ever comments on a single post (over 30) and visited sooooooo many blogs! As a final party […]
