Baby Things.

June 16, 2010

I’ve been up in the top of our giant shed…. slowly working my way through all the baby things we have stored over the years. It’s a walk through memory lane. A stark reminder. A strange little thread that ties all of my children together. There are clothes that both the girls and Muski wore. [...]

We Play – Cotton Bud Painting.

June 15, 2010

I’m putting my money where my mouth is today… or my blog where my mouth is, so to speak. For the past two Teach and Learn Carnivals I’ve blogged on about art and how important it is for little kids…. and today we actually did some! Nothing flash. Just a big sheet of paper, some [...]

Teach and Learn Carnival – Why Art is Important for Little People.

June 13, 2010

I have a thing about art and little kids…. I think they should do lots of it. Even though I often don’t want to face a potential mess, or I can’t really be bothered getting out the supplies, or I just don’t feel like supervising my small people when they create…. despite all those things [...]

Round and About Friday.

June 11, 2010

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time sitting here in front of the heater playing online this week. It’s funny how the hours can disappear so quickly when you are clicking through your feed reader or following interesting links… But just to assure you that it wasn’t all a total waste of time, here [...]

June 10, 2010

Are You Insane?

June 9, 2010

Four children? Are you Insane? That is the usual response when people realise my ever expanding belly will make us a family of six. They ask, some tongue in cheek and some quiet earnestly, if we are crazy. Crazy, I guess, because four children is way more than your average two point something and even [...]

We Play – More Sorting.

June 8, 2010

Sorting is big in our house at the moment. The sorting tray from a few weeks back is still getting lots of use but the almost three year old is forever leaving me little lines of sorted goodness all around our house… Cars, duplo, animals, wooden blocks, gum nuts, threading reels… all are good to [...]

A Little Look Ahead.

June 7, 2010

It comes around every six months and still I am never ready for it. I find it so hard to look at these faces and yet so compelling. With hair done and make-up on it’s like a sudden glimpse into the future. I’m transported forward eight or so years to a time when perhaps the [...]

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 [...]
