But Why?

Posted on February 27, 2013

toddler

Why does my toddler insist on walking around with a mesh bag over his head? Why do I start watching obscure foreign language movies late at night when I can barely read the subtitles I am so tired? Why do Taylor Swift songs stick in my brain for ever….ever, getting back together… Why does it […]

Life is Messy – Real Life Wednesday

Posted on February 20, 2013

mess

My life is messy. I suspect everyone’s life is messy. But we never share the mess. We never proudly proclaim how untidy our life is in public. Magazines and TV shows never show houses where you can barely see the kitchen bench for all the stuff on it. Even my ‘Inspiration for our Home’ pinterest […]

Just an Ordinary Day.

Posted on February 13, 2013

chicken

Yesterday was just an ordinary day around here with all the usual stuff going down… Yesterday I kicked the clucky brown hen off the nest for the hundredth time. Yesterday I stepped over, around, and inbetween the mess all day until I finally caved in and picked it up after dinner. Yesterday I folded and […]

What’s It’s Name? – Real Life Wednesday Returns!

Posted on February 6, 2013

Real Life Wednesday

My big boy has a couple of much loved toys. These are the toys that live on the end of his bed. The ones that occasionally travel to Nanny’s. These are his special toys. He has a strict rule when it comes to naming his toys. So there can be absolutely no confusion they are […]

santa

A few weeks back my nine year old twins asked me straight out if Santa was real. I was very proud of my response. I remembered the text book advice and calmly said, ‘what do you think?” As I busily patted myself on the back for at least getting one big parenting moment right, I […]

Real Life Wednesday – Random Housework Questions

Posted on December 12, 2012

real life real mess

If I never cooked dinner again I would never have to clean up this mess again, right? If I painted all my skirting boards a browny grey colour, no one would see the dust on them, right? It’s ok to throw out the occasional pair of toddler toilet training undies, right? If it’s been at […]

Real Life Wednesday… Tonsils

Posted on December 5, 2012

My regular Real Life Wednesday post has been derailed by feral tonsils that are causing as much trouble now they are out as they did when they were in! Right now our real life consists of 4 hourly dose of meds, and trying to convince a tired, sore, stubborn nine year old to drink something… […]

Real Life Wednesday – Just One Photo…. Please!

Posted on November 28, 2012

hair cut photos

All I wanted was a photo of his new hair cut… I didn’t get a decent photo of his ‘big guy hair’ but now, looking at these photos, I think I captured much more than his first hair cut. Real life is magical at The Good Long Road, and randomly wonderful at The Messy Organic […]
