Remembering…

March 9, 2012

Each week I am trying to remember something special that happened, something that reminds me to stop wishing my days away. This week I need to remember… This moment. This moment when three siblings sat down together to explore a new book. No fighting, no name calling, no excluding, no howling. Just sisters and a [...]

Remembering…

March 2, 2012

This week I need to remember… I need to remember my girl with the wonky fringe… I need to remember the how angry and defiant she gets. Her frustration, her narky back talk, her eye-rolling and exasperated sighs. I need to remember how she crawls into my bed with a tear streaked face and curls [...]

Overreacting or Evil TV Show?

March 1, 2012

My girls discovered The Sleepover Club TV show a few weeks back and they love it. This second series of the Australian TV show is about a group of girls who are part of, you guessed it, ‘the sleepover club’. They are perhaps a little older than my girls, live an idyllic life in a [...]

February 29, 2012

It totally doesn’t count if the words are on the photo… and they are not my own… right?

Remembering…

February 24, 2012

I am still working on ‘living in the moment‘ and appreciating the little things. This week I need to remember… I need to remember the toddler, with his hands in the tub of butter, because one day we’ll laugh about it, just like we laugh about this. I need to remember the way my husband [...]

Let It Go!

February 23, 2012

There are three squashed grapes under the dining table. I am choosing to ignore them. The first few weeks back at school have been fast and furious. Settling into the new routine of school and kinder (preschool), early mornings, and giving up the long lazy days where you felt you had time for everything. These [...]

Things I Need to Remember

February 17, 2012

Sometimes I find myself wishing my days away, especially the hard days. But when you wish your days away there are so many things you forget… and there are so many things I need to remember. The seemingly unimportant things, the little snatches of daily life things, the things that will one day make me [...]

Walking to School Worries

February 16, 2012

They turned right and we turned left. I didn’t look back as we hustled over the bridge and across the road towards kinder, there wasn’t time. I installed the big boy happily at the puzzle table and headed back through the park to the supermarket. I heard the school bell ring as we crossed 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 [...]
