Once a Month Scrapping - Februrary!

February has zipped passed us again, just like it always does! This year February has seemed especially short at the Pickle Farm. Since the girls started school at the beginning of the month the days seem to be fly and the weeks are over before they’ve even begun! I’m pleased to report that both Izzy [...]

Anyone seen my passion?

Anyone seen my passion?

Ok don’t get all excited folks… contrary to what the post title might have you think, this isn’t another post about sex. I’m not game to do that again since it kind of sort of might encouraged baby #4 last time. Though I guess if I were going to write about sex again, now would [...]

Naming Rights

I lay in bed with the girls last night and we somehow got to talking about a name for the baby. It began with some semi-reasonable suggestions, despite the fact that I am not keen to name this poor child after a Barbie movie character or one of the fairy books my girls are so [...]

Imaginative Play - The Frog Pond

The frogs are jumping in this pond…. perhaps because of the big lizards who are waiting on the side to eat them? You only need a centimetre or two of water to make for some great fun. Pop a towel underneath to catch any drips and it’s not nearly as messy as you think. Related [...]

Despite some really nasty bruises Izzy still loves him… and he still loves her, letting her cuddle [...]

The Art Cupboard.

My kids like to create. We have a designated (lockable to the toddler but not the big girls) art cupboard full of pencils and paper and glue and scissors etc… but lately it’s been getting way out of control. It’s full of markers without lids, half used colour in books, a million tiny bits of [...]

Digi Scrap Sunday - I love it when people use my designs!

We get a lovely 5 mbs of internet (down and up) a month, after which we get shaped to snails pace… so I’ve been trying to spend my shaped net time doing some productive on the design front since browsing the web is next to impossible… I’ve been working away on my February Once and [...]

Help Me! I'm Drowning in Books!

We have too many books. Not adult books. It’s kids books that are doing me in. I am drowning in piles and piles of kids books and I need some help to figure out how to sort and/or store them. My kids have a lot of books. I like that they have a lot of [...]
