Things I know…

April 30, 2010

As my very good friend over at Yay For Home says almost every Friday, here are some things I know… * It is worth overdoing the iron part of the pregnancy multi vitamin just a little, to get the bits that stop the middle of the night killer leg cramps. I am still limping three [...]

Choices

April 29, 2010

Some times I wish I’d made different choices. Maybe the same, or similar, choices to people I know or admire. I have a friend who home birthed and who home schools… and sometimes I wish I shared those things with her. They are both things that I think are pretty cool. They are choices that [...]

We Play – Farms!

April 28, 2010

Muski and I are playing along with Childhood101′s We Play link up today! We’ve been busy playing farms today!

Just Your Average Day on the Pickle Farm

April 27, 2010

A quiet Sunday morning on a long weekend. The Baldy Boy had just left for an hours bike ride before I handed over the keys to the three external children.

April 23, 2010

The Thing About Trains

April 22, 2010

We got our first set of Brio Trains when the girls were just toddlers. Since then there has been a long love affair with trains in our house. We’ve now got a huge selection of wooden train tracks, roads and associated accessories, and each Christmas or birthday we seem to need an even bigger box [...]

April 21, 2010

Things No One Ever Tells You About Pregnancy.

April 20, 2010

I’ve been there and done this pregnancy thing a few times now. I’ve read some of those big thick books about pregnancy and of course I’ve been the recipient of loads of advice – some lovely, some not so lovely. Despite all of this I am certainly no expert on this ‘having a baby’ gig…. [...]

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 [...]
