Organise ‘08 - the linen cupboard.

We live in an old house. Have I said that before? Oh yes, only about twenty times, but really it is important when it comes to keeping the place clean and organised because, well, it makes it that much harder.
This house is old and it has no storage. We have on ‘linen cupboard’ in […]

Winter Blues…

I know that winter has really only just officially started, and that we have a fair way to go with the cold, went, stuck inside days, I know I wrote about embracing the winter and not wishing my days away but I am already well over it.
Do you read Soule Mama (if you don’t you […]

How not to answer a difficult question

Zoe - “Mum…. How much would an elephant weigh if it was a duck?”
Me - “I don’t know… I guess as much as a duck weighs?”
Zoe - “Dad… how much would an elephant’s baby weigh if it was a duck?”
Baldy Boy - “Why would an elephant’s baby be a duck?”
Zoe - “Because it wants […]

F is for Friday… and other things too!

Today is Friday.
You might notice a recurrent theme on my blog of late - I keep naming the day in my posts. That is for two reasons, one, because my brain has stops computing what day it is every now and then, and two, because the Twinadoes have had a sudden urge of late, to […]

What Can We Do Today?? - Draw Big!

The Twinadoes are sick. They are not sick enough to justify doing nothing but sitting on the couch watching DVDs all day, but they are too sick for kinder. So that means that they have been home all week, stuck inside, not well enough to even go to the library, wanting me to entertain them…so […]

Muski My Boy.

My baby boy is officially one year old today… well at just before 2am this morning to be precise.
It seems like he has always been with us. It seems like being pregnant with him and birthing him happened such a long time ago and that his babyhood slipped past without anyone realising. Though I still […]

A Little Bit Apart and a Whole Lot Together…

In case you hadn’t figured it out yet, our girls are identical twins. They are very similar in so many ways (except that now Zoe has three front teeth missing) and they are VERY close. They are four and a half years old and up until now they have barely been apart, and almost never […]

Birthday Trees…

I usually post an ‘Organise ‘08′ post on Mondays but this is a special edition blog post today so I can gush all about my little monster’s birthday party yesterday!
Despite the lead up being less than perfect - one very sick birthday boy, and rain rain rain, the universe smiled on us yesterday for Muski’s […]

Tired.

1 house cleaned
30 green cupcakes cooked and iced
70 trees planted
3 sick kids
1 candle
And lots and lots of great family and friends to help celebrate….
Tired, but happy.

Smiley Saturday….with the reindeer

It’s been one of those weeks… if you don’t laugh you cry. So here is what has made me laugh in the last 24 hours…
Izzy - “My brain doesn’t want me to pack up”
Muski - sees a dog and says “DUCK!”
Zoe - “You are rude Izzy, you are Rudey the Rude nose Rude-deer!”
See more Smiely […]
