Morning! How are you all for a Monday? My kids have a week and a half left of school, so I'll be frantically trying to get things done so I can take a break. We'll be heading off to the beach for Christmas and New Year this year. I can't wait! So, what did you …
It's been a busy week at the block. The roof battens are all on and done and they've started sheeting it! I am loving it sick. Look at my verandah on the front! There's also some photos of the back doors... The sarking has gone on all around the house too ready for the weatherboard …
Last week I met the one, the only, BIGGEST pop-star of the 80's with his song "Never gonna give you up" being NUMBER 1 in 25 countries... RICK ASTLEY. OMG! For me, this was hilarious and I was rolling-on-the-floor-laughing... Do you remember him? He was massive, huge and one of the biggest artists back in the 80s! Click below …
Isn't she looking pretty?? I am in love (with timber frames and windows!). Doesn't take much to please me when it comes to this new house. Excited. We have a verandah running across the front and a triple car garage. Husband is in heaven! He's been wandering around in it already. High ceilings, lots of …
I have been thinking about 'something' for a while and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. You know when you're busy but bored? Yeah, that's what I have been feeling... Then I trialled the Top Shopping Picks on my blog each Tuesday. I've done 8 now and they are some of my best …
Copyblogger put this little checklist together last week and I thought I would share. I love finding these tips. I know I struggle with 1 or 2 points on this list and it makes me realise I still have so much to learn. I have been trying really hard to make this blog an easy place to visit. There are …
Sponsored post (Nuffnang). If you've been hanging around this blog long enough, you'll know I am not a fan of cooking. It's not my strong point. It's not that I can't cook (I can!), it's just that I do not enjoy it. I'd rather stick a fork in my eyes than cook anything fancy. But... I have …
A few weeks ago we were broken in to. Just in to our garage. I have a LOT of stuff in there as I am storing things I didn't unpacked when we moved here while we build our new house. The buggers took some stuff. Not important-can't-live-without stuff, but still it was OUR stuff. We've been trying …
Emily and Sarah from OTi Organiser contacted me and asked if I would like to have a look their range of Stationery, Planners and Organisational tools. Ohhhh yeah! Of course I would. I am always looking for ways to keep myself organised. If you're like me, you're doing 100 things at once and sometimes you …
Tontine sent me all new pillows a few weeks ago. I was ecstatic! Now, while some of you may roll your eyes, this was a big deal to me. Nothing beats new pillows! Nothing. And this is why... POOR PILLOW HYGIENE IS KEEPING AUSTRALIA AWAKE AT NIGHT It’s been two years since Tontine put pillow hygiene under the microscope with the launch of their …
There were crickets at my block last week (giving that slab some time to rest!), but now it's all systems go! Look out! I squealed and squealed. Now we can really SEE the house coming along. We can visualise rooms and spaces. I can feel the flow of the house. The kids have picked their …
I was in bed last night reminiscing about our recent holiday to New York with my husband. My heart was a little achey. I felt so sad for the New Yorkers after Hurricane Sandy hit. I watched it all unfold on the tv, twitter and live YouTube updates. I text my husband furiously all day Monday and …
