My Perfectly Imperfect Life – Day 1

September 20, 2010

At 5 pm Sunday night the big kids were hurtling around the house naked except for the blankets they wore over their heads. They left me random secret messages in among the rubble that was once my house. And I ate a bowl of cereal…. because I knew the dinner in the oven quite possible [...]

Mickey’s Great Outdoors DVD review

September 18, 2010

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang When Nuffnang asked if I’d like to review the new Disney Mickey’s Great Outdoors DVD I was initially hesitant. We are not big TV watchers generally, and I am not a fan of lots of TV for little kids. But I confess, lately Muski and I have spent a [...]

I am imperfect…again

September 17, 2010

I sit here at the (almost) end of the day, surrounded by biscuit crumbs and odd socks, baby spew catchers, and half eaten toast crusts, school notices I should have read last week (if I had my girls would not have gone to school on casual day in their uniform!) and half empty (or half [...]

I couldn’t remember when I’d bought it, if I bought it, because I can’t imagine anyone in our house actually eating it. I checked the [...]

Castle Blocks

September 14, 2010

I made these castle blocks a long long time ago. I made them from a little boy who didn’t want to come to preschool. He was mad keen on knights and dragons and things like that, so I begged some off-cuts of wood from a local building site and cut out some basic castle shapes [...]

He’s Three.

September 13, 2010

You’d think I’d know this from past experience. Not just because I’ve been here before as a parent, but also because this used to be my job. People used to pay me to wrangle three year olds for 8.5 hours every day. Three year olds are tiring. Three year olds are hard. Three year olds [...]

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue – Review.

September 11, 2010

Recently the girls have noticed lots of advertisements for the new Tinker Bell movie – Tinker Bell and The Great Fairy Rescue. I even have one on my blog! There has been much discussion on what it might be about and how long it would take them to save up enough money to buy it. [...]

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 [...]
