Wordless Wednesday – The Newest Pickle!

September 30, 2009

Meet the newest member of the Pickle Farm Family! She/he hatched two days ago and was out and about with his/her mum for the first time today. It seems we are only ever able to hatch one chick at a time, and we don’t have a good track record for chicks with the last one [...]

Eating Better

September 29, 2009

There’s something about this time of the year… it always makes me think about food. Ok.. I confess there is always someone thinking about food in this house all year round. My children ADORE food…and I don’t mind some myself either. At this time of year though, I begin to think more about the type [...]

Weekly Winners – The Late Edition

September 28, 2009

It seems my blog was having some ‘technical difficulties’ yesterday – or more correctly my web host’s server was having a hissy fit and nothing worked. This means I’m a day late for Sarcastic Mom’s Weekly Winners… but better late than never hey! We did Bubble Painting last week and I think we’ll make some [...]

What Can We Do Today? Bubble Painting!

September 25, 2009

It’s third term holidays here and since I promised both myself and my kids that we’d do some painting, yesterday we got busy with bubble painting!

Saint Insanity

September 24, 2009

“This is the best day ever!” says Izzy as she cuddles a guinea pig at the free school holiday petting farm set up at the local shops. “Mum! Mum! this is soooo fablious!” calls Zoe as she feeds the goats. “Fablious!” parrots Muski. “Are those three kids all yours?” asks a woman standing next to [...]

Almost Wordless Wednesday – Bubble and Squeak!

September 23, 2009

The ducklings have names! It was Rosanne (one of my fabulous digi scrap creative team members) who first suggested the names Bubble and Squeak and the girls instantly agreed. While I’ve spent the past week or so trying to convince them that Yin and Yang (thanks Tiff) or Milk and Milo (thanks Squiggle Mum) would [...]

Play All Day?

September 22, 2009

I recently read a lovely post over at Childhood 101 about a quiet day spent at home playing. At the end of her post, Christie asked a question… “How much time do you spend truly present in playful interactions with your child or children? How do your structure this time into your daily or weekly [...]

Holiday Time!

September 21, 2009

It’s the end of third term here. Two weeks off from kinder and ballet and a couple of other things that we attempt to squeeze into our life. Two weeks to sleep in and take it easy. Two weeks to go on adventures and paint and draw and stay in our pyjamas all day! We [...]

Printable Love or Lunch Box Notes.
February 3, 2012

I am back making school lunches and next week my big boy will need lunch for kinder (preschool) too, thankfully only once a week, but all of them want to know when I will start leaving notes in their lunch boxes! So I think it’s time for some new lunch box notes. I am not [...]
