Quilt Lust…

I must be getting older… or wiser.. or something… because in the last few years I have developed quite a lust for handmade quilts.
I hassled The Great Aunts for a long time until they made one each for the Twinadoes. They totally came up wiht the good, the girl’s quilts are ‘to die for!’. […]

Organise ‘08 - Christmas in July.

Before I get started on this post I need to ask something…. Why is it ‘Christmas in July’ and not ‘Christmas in June’???

I am not nuts - if you are a non-Aussie you may have been wondering about that, but we backwards southern hemisphere people have a silly custom of sometimes celebrating a ’second […]

Chibobo ‘08

I have a friend, a wonderful, caring, lovely, woman who is once again raising money for the orphans of Chibobo, Zambia. She’s done this for the past year or two after being involved with the orphanage via the school she attended and now teaches at. Her younger sister, along with other students from the school, […]

Step… Step… SPLAT!

You do not want to wake up at 3am to the sounds of ’step… step… SPLAT!’
Warning… this post is about vomit… read on at your own risk!
Poor Izzy is still sick, off and on. She had been off her food and just all ‘lay on the couch cause I’m gonna spew’ at the beginning […]

Flickr Friday - Winter.

Wordless Wednesday - Are they really related to me?


Questions…

I have some questions I need to ask someone… so who better than you guys huh??
What can I do with half a tub of cream cheese??
It is left over from making cream cheese frosting for carrot cake - because carrot cake is just not carrot cake without it. No one in our house likes […]

Organise ‘08 - Back to Work

The Twindaoes go back to kinder tomorrow (today is set-up day for their teachers) and so it is back to work for all of us. Back to getting up at a reasonable hour, back to making sure we all have appropriate clean clothes to wear, and back to making sure there is enough healthy snacks […]

Kid Music - Snack Time

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 […]
