Just hanging with my girls

Friday is the best day of the week! After what is always a busy week working my full time hours from Monday to Thursday, I love Fridays for a whole range of reasons.  A little bit of a sleep in is a great start (well, getting up at 6.30 as opposed to 5.30am), getting on top of …

Queenslander!!!!

Despite living in Victoria for nearly 15 years, I am a Queenslander through and through.  I still consider Queensland home and many of my closest friends and family still live in the Sunshine state.  So I love this time of year which heralds the start of the intense battle of the states that is State of …

#brinner

We have officially become the 13th confirmed case of hand, foot and mouth at our child care centre which means Miss A stays at home and we get to have some bubba/Mummy bonding time this week. This morning the hubby got up and headed off to work, taking Miss B to child care on the …

Lucky

I suspect I'm in for a long night tonight as Miss A is dealing with the early symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth.     Tired, clingy, with a mild fever and increasingly covered in spots, my usual happy, cruisey bubba is struggling. And whilst it's hard to watch, it makes me realise how lucky I …
