I need at least ten minutes of peace to get Muski to sleep during the day. That means I need ten minutes where the Twinadoes don’t sound like baby elephants on our wood floors, don’t scream at each other at the top of their lungs and don’t come whining to me for something ever 30 […]

Wrong Kind of Sick
Of course, my kids are all sick, again. I kind of expect that at this time of the year so it’s not the frequency of illness that I want to whinge about, it’s the kind of illness. Can I just say how much I hate ‘breathing sickness’…. give me a good ‘spewing sickness’ over ‘breathing […]
Blasted Magnetic Sheep!
This makes two Saturdays in a row when I have spent the better part of the morning on my hands and knees crawling through piles of toys and clothes and other ‘stuff’ in search of a magnetic sheep. Way back at the start of the year my girls entered and a won competition for a […]
Dancing Princesses

My all time favourite band is Barenaked Ladies (BNL). Many years ago when I had a mild passion for all things Canadian a friend introduced me to BNL and I was instantly hooked. Of course their accents helped but their clever lyrics and just damn good music was what really one me over…. and ok […]
Indoctrination.
It is ‘mega huge half yearly toy sale’ time here at the moment. We don’t get toy catalogues delivered to us (too far out in the sticks for anyone to bother) but a very kind friend bought them over for us to have a look at. I had a quick scout through looking to see […]
Too much!
I want to do too much. I have all these ideas for things I’d like to do, for me, for the family, for the kids, for the house. I want to digi scrap, I want to design, I want to sew and draw and be all kinds of crafty. I want to blog and email […]
