Morning! So the New Year celebrations are over and I've returned home to start thinking about the year ahead... We've just had 3 nights away camping. Not glamping, but serious camping. Not sure I really loved it though! It was dusty and windy and there was no water, electricity, toilets or showers so it was …
It was a lovely Christmas Day at my house yesterday. I had 30-something people for lunch and everyone chipped in and helped, so it went smoothly! We even managed to get a family photo... it's not often we get those! My brother has been overseas for almost 2 years so it was good to see …
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 …
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 …
This has been the majority of what my school holidays looked like... They're great kids, but geez it's been busy. I'm tired and I'm done and I'm broke! One more day, and I can get back to working, cleaning and routine. Bring it on! ;) How were your holidays?
Can we pause time? My babies are no longer babies... Cruise is 11 + a half, Chevy will be 7 next week and Tex is 8 and a half. I am feeling old and don't know where the years have gone. I worry that we're always racing through life and we'll forget to savour the …
Morning! Thanks for stopping by today... Yesterday my boys and I headed out for a big walk/ride. I put on my backpack with filled with drinks, my camera and the keys. It was a lovely sunny day, but freezing! It didn't take long to warm up though. We headed down to Lake Albert then across …
If you've been reading my blog long enough, you will know I have 3 boys. So, there is not a lot of pink in this house! And because I have 3 boys, I find it hard to come up with 3 different boy designs. I wanted them all to have different looking rooms and rooms that …
This is how I fill the school holidays... with these crazy kids. 3 x mine. 4 x nephews. 2 x friends. Most days we hang out. As long as there is plenty of food, they are happy. Love them!
Remember that feeling when you went to school in the wrong uniform? Well this happened my little kindy kid, Chevy, last week. He said he thought his sport day had changed from Thursday, but he wasn't sure. I knew they were changing sport activities (ie. from gym to dancing) that day, but I thought it …
I think "retainer" sounds gross, doesn't it? It's really called a plate, but I say retainer in an American accent just to annoy my family... My middle baby is getting a top plate. I've always known he's had a shocking cross bite. He was about 18 months old and I noticed it. I had a …
Hey there Monday morning! How are you all today? Ready to tackle a new week? I am (just!)... How was your weekend? Mine was busy with kid's sport. We've gone from Rugby League to Touch and Cricket... God gave me these boys and now I am suddenly this sports nut. Who would have thought hey? …
