So it’s school holidays for us at the moment… well kinder holidays. We’re still running at a mile a minute, with birthday parties and this crazy family wedding, but this week I was determined to do something fun with the kids, something they’d wanted to do for ages. We got out the paints. I was […]
A Visit from the Toy Fairy…
The Twindoes rushed in from kinder today all excited. “The Toy Fairy has been Mum.. the Toy Fairy!!” There, in their hot little hands were two much wanted, much anticipated and long waited for toys. The Toy Fairy had in fact been and left some goodies on our door step! Izzy has had her eye […]
Sunday
A day for a late afternoon treasure hunt. So much treasure to be found! More treasure… and a little more…. Maybe next week when I have net access that is slightly faster than a dead snail crawling backwards I’ll be able to blog more than one sentence a day… or maybe not. Oops – sorry […]
Easy Easter Craft – Egg-citing Egg-bag People.
We don’t really ‘do’ Easter. We are not religious, it’s not spring here, our kids don’t really eat chocolate and The Baldy Boy is working all weekend. So while we usually get together with family for a meal or something, that’s about as far as it goes. Now the girls are out in the Big […]
Ten Ways to Stay Cool with Small Children.

On The Toy Shelf
In a burst of energy and random love for my children I refreshed the toy shelf the other day and this is what it looked like for the 2.7 seconds before everything was dragged out to play with! Because we have a small house without much storage and the kids mostly play in the lounge […]
Pollywog Song!
Just popping this in here because I can while we are at my parents place… We LOVE this song and the girls have taken advantage of fast internet and listened to/watched it about 50 times since we got here!
What Can We Do Today?? – Draw Big!
The Twinadoes are sick. They are not sick enough to justify doing nothing but sitting on the couch watching DVDs all day, but they are too sick for kinder. So that means that they have been home all week, stuck inside, not well enough to even go to the library, wanting me to entertain them…so […]
