Do You Worry About Your Kids?

May 24, 2012

Sometimes I really worry about my kids. More than just the average ‘gee I hope she doesn’t fall out of that tree and break her arm’ kind of worry… A deep down worry, about how they might turn out. I laugh a lot about ‘scarring my kids for life’, but all jokes aside, I am [...]

Finding your Housework Zen

May 21, 2012

I’m having trouble finding my ‘zen’ when it comes to house work and the like at the moment. The thought of actually having to fold the pile of clean laundry sitting on the couch makes me want to curl up into a ball and go to sleep. I know I need to clean the bathroom, [...]

Mush Brain

May 18, 2012

My brain has turned to mush this week. I know there are things I really need to get on top of, but my head is full of pirate costumes, domain names, cookie recipes, blue tiaras and all manner of insanity. This week I have struggled to remember my children’s names… let alone remember the moments [...]

Why??

Remembering the Things They Say

May 11, 2012

One day they will cringe at the cute and funny things they said when they were little. And for that very reason I will tuck these little gems away in the back of my mind, so I can remember. Izzy : We’re almost 9! Zoe : Which means we are practically ten… and then we’ll [...]

Remembering a time…

May 4, 2012

Every now and then time seems to slow. It’s almost as if the flow of time is hampered by the scattering of cars across my floor, the laundry baskets piled one on top of another, and the miscellaneous shoes in odd places. Perhaps time knows that every now and then it needs to wait a [...]

Meanies and Niceys.

May 3, 2012

For a long time there were no ‘goodies and baddies’ at our house, instead there were ‘meanies and niceys’. It always made me smile when I’d hear someone say “She is the meanie one… and he is the nicey.” Yesterday I encountered my own meanies and niceys and they all surprised me in their own [...]

Remembering

April 20, 2012

This week I am remembering…. I am remembering what it is like to be unwell, and I don’t like it. I am remembering how important it is to take care of myself, even when I don’t want to. I am remembering that not everyone sees the world the way I do. I am remembering that [...]

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 [...]
