Over and Out.

December 15, 2009

I sent Zoe off to her last ever day of kinder today (Izzy went later after being up half the night with asthma). A momentous event in this house… mostly because it is the second time we’ve done it. We did the end of year concert, the kid-made gift giving and the last day party [...]

Things I know… and some I don’t know.

December 12, 2009

My friend at Yay for Home knows a lot…. I, on the other hand, only know a few things, like…. – If your kids do four year old kinder twice be prepared to gush over the same kid made christmas presents two years in a row. – If there is a two year old learning [...]

Santa Don’t Stop Here.

December 10, 2009

Have you seen those signs that kids stick in the garden at their front door? ‘Santa Stop Here’. Well if we had one of those signs it would say ‘Santa DO NOT stop here’. Zoe doesn’t like Santa. I’m not entirely sure why, but she has never liked him, not the ‘real life’ dressed up [...]

How Much is Too Much?

December 4, 2009

There is a LOT of train love in our house at the moment. It seems to be one of the few things all three kids will do together which doesn’t end in tears… well at least not all of time. But I think I need to invest in a bigger storage box, since I know [...]

To Jam or not to Jam.

December 2, 2009

There is not much else growing in our garden (thanks to the crows and the early heat) but we do have strawberries… loads of delicious, sweet, strawberries. The big question on everyone’s lips is…. do I attempt to make Jam? Or do we just eat them? It’s on my list…. No 17. Make jam and [...]

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 [...]
