My children make a lot of random noises. Is that normal? I'm not sure it is. My eldest is the worst. What I mean is that the house can be quiet and he'll shriek like a bird, make a possum noise, imitate the Turtleman, woof whistle... (you name it). Just out of the blue. On and off …
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 …
The Top 10 things about time and space that most people seem to forget... 10. You chose to be here and you knew what you were doing. 9. There are no "tests" and you're not being judged. 8. Everyone's doing their best, with what they know. 7. You already have whatever you're looking for. 6. …
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 brought home some tile samples last week and thought I had decided on huge white wall tile, and big grey floor tiles. But as the days have gone on, I'm thinking of other options... I'm definitely doing the white wall tiles, and white bathroom vanities, with some sort of white feature tile under the mirrors (above …
Click on the flats below to see where to buy them. ... You can never have too many ballet flats! I'm on a mission to collect some new and affordable flats to mix and match with jeans. I would like one in every colour please :) Hope you've had a great weekend! I did. Lots happening around …
