Today we went to the park which was fabulous given the awesome weather we're having lately. A couple of the mums from my mums group came along and the kids had a great time whilst we ate scones (that I'd whipped up before we walked to the park - I know, I know... just call …

sniffle, sniffle, aah-choo!
You can see where this post is going already can't you? Yep, after a week or so of dealing with two sick little girls, it would appear that the gift that keeps on giving has been passed over to me. I had big plans for today and managed to get through the morning and a …
Fail to plan, plan to fail
As you may have already noticed, unlike Winston Churchill, I’m not much of a planner nor have I ever been one for setting goals and so far, I've not had any major regrets. But, whilst there is no question that I subscribe to the just wing it approach to life, I also concede that this year is different. …
The day after
I wish I had something more insightful or inspirational to share but alas, today was the day after we returned from our long weekend. You know what that means right? Unpacking and sorting and laundry and cleaning and... well, you get the idea. There is no question that one of the downsides of going away …
Over too soon
Well the long weekend is over... Everyone here is tired and ready for bed, well except Miss B of course. We've already spent an hour and a half trying to get her to stay in bed... So I need a minute just to sit for a little bit before the post-camping clean up commences! We have …
Memories in the making
I slept like the dead last night! Yesterday was spent running around like a blue-arsed fly trying to get all of our stuff organised. I think I've mentioned before just how much STUFF IS REQUIRED!!! But I've moved on from that and have managed to have a couple of quiet beers after the girls went to …
The gap between intent and action
EEK! What started as an idea to talk about my colourful new blog title header and how it came to be, has now got the potential to become a PhD thesis! So I'm going to make a concerted effort to rein in my thoughts on this one... if that is at all possible! I had intended …
Memory Lane Monday – Nana
I was looking for something in cupboard today when I saw this and thought it'd be a great MLM. This is a picture of my Nana, her sister and her mother taken back in 1918. How fabulous are these old photographs - despite my dodgy attempt to get a good picture of them, the …
Lazy Sunday
The morning after a party is always pretty rough if you've had limited sleep and one too many beers. Fortunately for me, I didn't end up having too many drinks at the 50th birthday last night. Not because I didn't want one, but rather, because I've come to realise that trying to wrangle a toddler who …
The packing of all the stuff
I love a weekend away, but I'm not at all a fan of the rigmorale associated with going. Today we're off to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my hubby's cousins so I'm in the process of pulling together ALL THE STUFF required of carting an infant and a toddler on an out-of-town trip. We're …
