Cooking with Kids – Pita Chips

August 31, 2010

If Quatro sleeps in the morning I attempt to take advantage of the ‘un-baby’ time to get on top of housey kind of things. If I am organised I do the laundry and cook dinner (or at least make a start) and maybe sneak in a little baking. This all sounds blissfully domestic, but it’s [...]

Reading Is Magical

August 30, 2010

“Don’t buy a lemon” Zoe reads as we drive to Nanny’s house. “Does that sign say ‘don’t buy a lemon’ Mum?” “Yes!” I reply, impressed that she has not only been able to work out what that random sentence says but also do it quickly as we drive past…. As we drive I marvel at [...]

I Have Man Flu

August 27, 2010

I have Man Flu… Every bone in my body aches. Even the roots of my teeth ache. There is snot pouring out of me and I am hearing like my head is under water. I am sure I must have swallowed razor blades…. except that I can’t swallow at all. My finger nails are sore [...]

I get around…

August 26, 2010

We’ve been couch dwellers this week. Giggle and Hoot have featured high on our list of priorities, along with trying not to cough on each other. So there is nothing new to see here today…. but I’ve been busy blogging else where this week. I have two guest posts up this week… The first is [...]

What’s on your Fridge?

August 25, 2010

Last week I joined in the new (to me) Wandering Wednesday and this week I am taking up yet another new blogging challenge! Since all the pickles have been a tad sick this week and since they are such caring and sharing children they have given it to me now, we haven’t wandered much further [...]

We Play – Tying Shoe Laces

August 24, 2010

It seems we have come to that point in time when I can avoid it no longer. The only pair of pink sneakers in a size big enough to fit Izzy have shoe laces. Yes, laces… not velcro, not stretchy elastic things, but real, need to be tied, laces. Now I have to teach Izzy [...]

Kidspot Top 50 Blog Your Way To Dunk Island – Holiday Memories.

August 23, 2010

It’s funny how your early memories get all mixed up. I know we went on many family holidays when I was a child, most of them driving holidays. The memories I have of those early holidays are all jumbled together. I can only remember snippets of things or isolated incidents. I remember our old car. [...]

Lots of rain + some sunshine = bucket loads of strawberries! Over the past few weeks we have had strawberries coming out of our ears. We have made muffins, and smoothies and cupcakes, and pie and we’ve eaten so many fresh strawberries I am actually kinda over them (I never thought that would happen), but [...]
