4 sleeps to go! Do you love wrapping your presents? Are you meticulous about wrapping? Hmmm, I'm not overly fancy, but when I look at the these photos I wish I was more particular! Some people are very clever. My sister wraps hers beautifully and so does my Mum. I must have missed the gift-wrapping …
My boys finish up school next Tuesday so the reports, photos and work books start to overflow from their school bags... I was reflecting on how this year has been for them. It's been a good one that I want to remember. I'm proud of them. Each year I usually have one child who doesn't …
I really like the colour pink. Don't you think? Ha! I looked around my house yesterday and realised there's a lot of it... I think having 3 boys has made me love it more! I am the only one who enjoys it! So they have to put up with a sprinkle of it here and …
Sponsored by Dettol. Hi there! Thanks for stopping in today... I wanted to talk to you today about floors... Aren't they just the worst thing to keep on top of? I can't think straight when I have dirty floors, so I am one of those painful people who uses the vacuum every day and mops …
Hi there! How are you today? It's going to be a scorcher in Wagga today with 39 degrees! Ouchies. So I am up early to get things done in case I need to crash on the couch ;) Last night I finished up teaching Term 4 of my Social Media class (it's an 8 week …
My boys have thrown together a veggie patch and they love watching it grow... We had a patch of dirt on the dead-side of our house and it was the perfect spot for a vegetable garden. We weren't sure how they'd go around there, but they have really taken to it! We've put in strawberries, …
Kids and their sleep patterns confuse me. One moment they are sleeping and the next they aren't. And I am pretty sure this yo-yo lasts until they are teenagers! I was chatting with my bestie about this because she was having sleep dramas with her 8 year old. It's like they suddenly decide they can't …
My weekends always start with "what can we do today?" The answer "nothing" is almost like a swear word. The look of horror that comes over their faces is hilarious and there is never any rest in our house. So, of course we HAD to go fishing yesterday. Plus I couldn't get out of this …
I am the biggest homebody. I would rather be barricaded inside my house than anywhere else. I am a Cancerian afterall! The last few weeks I have done just that. I've barely left the place (except for all the sporting commitments!). I love nothing more than straight cushions, fresh flowers and clean floors. I've been …
Hey there! I'm just dropping in to let you know I'm still here so never fear... I'm just having a mini-siesta! For no other reason than I need to catch up on some other projects, plus taking a couple of day off from the blog feels good. Back soon I am sure, with more stuff …
Don't you just love that 10 minutes before you're due to be in the car and on your way to school? You know, finding shoes, hats and drink bottles? Even if I make them get up early and get organised there's still that 10 minutes before we get in the car where the screeching and …
The results are in... I am not really opposed to the NAPLAN testing, but I certainly don't love the idea of them. My eldest is average at his academic work but excels in sport. He's social and I don't worry about him. He's not struggling. I know he could do better at everything, but he's …
