The Growing Challenge - Stubborn Seeds and a general round up.

At our first early planting I put in a variety of seeds and most have popped up and are doing great, but a few are still no where to be seen.
The luffa, butternut pumpkin, cantelope (rockmelon) and bottle gourd seeds have not germinated. It seems odd because the Turks Turbin pumpkin was one of the […]

Organise ‘08 - My Note Book

For a while there I stopped writing in my note book each day/night. I was busy (I know poor excuse, I should be keeping track of things more rather than less when busy), I couldn’t be bothered and I was uninspired. The other week two things happened to change that and make me start writing […]

It’s so easy to forget…

Too tired to think of anything intelligent to write tonight (hmm.. that seems to be happening quite a bit of late!), so I will leave you with this photo of Zoe….

The girls were asking about what they looked like when we lived at our old house and so I found this photo (among others) […]

To Do….

Am I the only one who needs to write some things on my To Do list every day for a week before it actually gets done?

Only When You’re Four.

Overheard as I walked towards the bedroom at bed time the other night…
Bizzy - “Quick, get under my skirt and I’ll hide you”
Hmm… I hope I don’t hear her say that again when she is older!

Wordless Wednesday - Beach Day!

Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday. I play at Five Minutes for Mom.

Asthma Meds…

Renovate ‘08/09… Kitchen Dreams

Soooo I am in this in between limbo land, having seen the architect who patiently listened to all our mad ideas, measured the house and then disappeared with a promise to draw up plans that we’d all be happy about. So now we wait. We wait for the much anticipated first draft plans to arrive. […]

Weekly Winners… Dress-ups and Traffic Jams

It’s Sunday again! It’s been another crazy week but school (or in our case kinder) holidays have officially started and my plan is to try my hardest to just enjoy my children, nothing more, nothing less. So not much to show today in the way of weekly winners (Thanks to Sarcastic Mom for creating this […]

Blessings

The end of a long week spent with good friends
The silence of the first warm night without the fire going
Letting my girls sleep in their dress-up clothes
Family visitors who come bearing all our favourite food.
Farmers Markets with free face painting.
$2 pots of strawberries from a local back yard.
Chickens who think the babies is one of […]
