So many biscuits…

Thanks to the lovely Alissa who posted this recipe over in the forums at PBP we’ve been gorging ourselves on biscuits since last Wednesday! These are too good, too easy and too cheap to keep to myself so I thought I’d share the secret around a bit more!

Bad Bad Mother…

Is it a bad thing that the bulk of Muski’s food these days consists of the crusts from the twinadoe’s sandwiches? Or the crust from their pizza? Or sultanas that the girls drop on the floor under the table where the broom never seems to reach?
Is it a bad thing that Muski’s favourite food is […]

$50?

What would you do with a free $50?
We got a coles (supermarket) gift card worth $50 and I can’t decide what to do with it.
Spend it on every day groceries and save the money we would have spent?
Splash out a little and buy food and groceries we can’t normally afford?
Splash out a lot and buy […]

Why?

I think I have a repressed three year old somewhere deep inside of me. I think my parents didn’t respond to my questions when I was little, or something terribly deep and mildly psychotic like that anyway. Why? Because I still have a problem with ‘why’!

Why do some sweet potatoes get brown spots the moment […]

Organise ‘08 Slump…

I have fallen off the organisation band wagon… big time!
Last month I blamed our holiday for not getting anything done - too busy getting ready to enjoy ten days of fun and sun, but we have been back for more than two weeks and I am still not getting anything done!
My ‘household folder’ is still […]

Here Chook Chook Chook….

You may remember not so long ago I wrote a list of ‘needs vs’ wants’ and one of the things on the list was new chookies.
I’ve been reading and chatting with ‘chook people’ online and trying to decide what sort of hens we’d like, and more importantly what sort of rooster and with a […]

First Birthday Plans?

Can you believe, just a little over a year ago, my baby boy looked like this…

(This is a digital scrapbook layout made with the Shabby Princess Kit - Smarshmellows)
In a few weeks we’ll be partying for his first birthday and I am not ready! So much to think about, so much to organise and so […]

Tag-o-rama!

Since I still can’t remember the fantastic thing I was going to blog about, I thought I’d go ahead and do this Me Me that Dee over at Words tagged me for. I am note sure where this started or quite what the goal is with such an interesting set of questions but here goes […]

What to Blog?

Don’t you just hate it? When it comes time to blog and that great idea you had has just flown straight out of your head!
I was laying there in the dark last night, stroking Muski’s head, holding his hand and trying to get him to go back to sleep, my mind wandering when, ‘POW’, into […]
