The sun is shining. It’s not blowing a gale. That’s it… everyone… OUTSIDE!!! Wear you gumboots so you can dig in the mud. Put on sunscreen because the sun has bite and I know your hat won’t stay for long. Pick flowers and herbs, add a splash of water and a sprinkle of dirt to […]
Toys We Love – Lego!
Ah how we love Duplo and Lego! All three kids enjoy building with our HUGE collection of Duplo (big toddler lego). Muski has been able to fit the blocks together and build towers since he was about 18 months old and the girls create amazingly detailed and elaborate constructions and stories to go along with […]
Ten Ways to Stay Cool with Small Children.
It’s freakishly hot in our part of the world at the moment, and set to get even hotter before the week is out. We don’t have air-conditioning or a swimming pool (I wish on both accounts) so four 40 degree days (that’s about 104 Fahrenheit) in a row isn’t going to be much fun with […]

What Can We Do Today?
It’s been one of those weeks in this house. You know, the ones that seem to fly past without you getting anything done at all, yet at the same time it drags so incredibly slow in moments you are sure you will never make it to bed time. The Twinadoes and Muski and I went […]
Seuss-love
We are HUGE Dr Seuss fans in this house. We own and love about 25 Seuss books and still have more we’d like to collect! Did you know that Dr Seuss’s full name is Theodor Seuss Geisel and that he wrote under the name Theo LeSieg – ‘LeSieg’ being his last name Geisel spelt backwards! […]
Kid’s Party Ideas – Keeping it Simple!
Continuing with the party theme in honour of ‘The Ultimate Blog Party ’08’ I thought I’d crank up the old brain and see if I could dig out some of the info that has been long stored away, from my life before kids. Before the girls were born I was a preschool teacher, and on […]
