One Chick Wonder.

January 19, 2010

That cute little bundle of fluff is ‘Dot’, so named by the girls to match up with his/her older sister, Dash. She hatched about a week ago and is being clucked over by her doting surrogate mother, Jasmine, our little Wyandotte Bantam. This is the second hatchling for Jasmine (Dash was her first). Neither of [...]

Stuffed Stuffness.

January 16, 2010

There are things on my mind… Stuff. Stuffness…. 1. It is not a good idea to let me cook with brand new, super sharp knives. 2. Head lice are tenacious, freaky looking little buggers, but all three of my kids were surprisingly patient and lovely while we killed em and combed them out. 3. A [...]

It’s a Duck Problem

January 14, 2010

We have a duck problem, or should that be a problem duck. Bubble (the brown one) was always the most affectionate of the pair. Even as a little fluff ball he was the one that would snuggle up to you, and when he grew up and moved outside he’d still come over to say hello [...]

Shwactors!

And if all else fails – throw in a fabulous ‘silly face’ and we’ll all be giggling! Related Posts:Making The Best of Beds.He Snuck Past [...]

Parenting Light Bulbs.

January 10, 2010

I like reading parenting blogs and reading the odd parenting book. I like to chat with like minded friends about this parenting gig. It’s nice to know I am not alone in some of my struggles nor in my desire to find some magical way to be a perfect parent to my kids. I’m not [...]

Under The Sprinkler.

January 10, 2010

Running under the sprinkler is a disappearing childhood moment in this part of the country. I don’t know of many areas where you are still allowed to run a garden sprinkler at any time, let alone mid afternoon? We don’t have a town water supply. We rely on rain water collection and a bore with [...]

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 [...]
