Weekly Winners…

I am really liking this weekly winners idea of Sarcastic Mom’s - I don’t have to use my brain much on a Sunday night, just pop up a few photos of my adorable kids and other bits and pieces from around the place and then go on my merry way surfing up a few blogs- […]

Corner Turning…

The sun shone yesterday and even if it is not so shiny today I refuse to be deterred…. I feel like we have finally turned a corner. The dark days of winter are on the decline and we can look ahead to some spring goodness, and I am not just talking about the weather […]

Flickr Friday - Sunshine!

The sun is shinging…. can you believe it?
Ok if you live up the other end of the world, or even of the country you are probably wondering what I am on about, but just go with me ok?
After a really cold snap which saw snow falling at our house (something that rarely happens) and […]

The Growing Challenge - Seeds Seeds Seeds!

My Eden Seeds order has arrived and man they were fast! A nice little box filled with seedy goodness, now I can really get started on the Growing Challenge…. yay!
The plan is to plant a round of early seeds and then do a later round in the hope that we may get some early-ish and […]

Wordless Wednesday - My Black-eyed Boy


Why Boy? Why?

Why Boy? Why? Why? Why?

You know it’s one thing to have a perfectly neat and organised house (yeah like that will ever happen) but there’s more to having an organised life than having a tidy house. I need to organise my head!
I’m a big believer in positive thinking, in enjoying the moment and taking time to be happy with […]

Pollywog Song!

Just popping this in here because I can while we are at my parents place… We LOVE this song and the girls have taken advantage of fast internet and listened to/watched it about 50 times since we got here!

Gone AWOL Friday.

Yes it’s not Flickr Friday this week it’s Gone AWOL Friday….
After a crazy few weeks of Olympics, gymnastics, ballet, more kids parties than I care to count, snow (twice now), rain, cold feet, mud and lots of too-ing and fro-ing, the small people and I have escaped to the centrally heated joy of Nanny and […]

I sent them to their room…

Actually they sent themselves….
After having a play at a kinder friend’s house the girls have discovered the idea of ‘playing in your room’ and they like it!
There are a few reasons why I like them to play out in the lounge room - I like to be able to keep half an eye on […]
