I was asked if I wanted an espresso coffee maker, similar to a Jura capresso machine but as much as I would have loved to say yes and smeel the aroma of fresh coffee brewing each morning, I had to decline because I just don't have the bench space in my kitchen for it. I have so many gadgets and small appliances that don't get used often enough because I ... Read More

I’ve seen some really nice pieces of men’s jewelry and wish that my DH would wear some. The only piece of jewelry my husband wears is his wedding ring. He doesn’t even wear a watch! Funnily enough, he’s never late and that annoys me…lol I once bought him a silver chain with a silver “bagpipes” charm. He wore it for a little while (I guess just to shut me up!) ... Read More

OH MY! We really need to get ourselves a new mattress for our bed. This is the 3rd time I've woken up with a sore back from sleeping on the one we have. I would love to get one of those memory foam mattresses. I've seen some advertised on television and people seem to be swearing by them. I'm so jealous of my fellow bloggers that had won one recently ... Read More

It's amazing that at such a young age, our Bubba knows how to melt our hearts. I could be  having the most crappiest day, ready to blow up anyone and everyone who crosses my path, and she just climbs up on my lap, gives me one of her sloppy kisses and says "mama" and she just melts my heart. It's funny that she already knows when she's doing something she shouldn't be ... Read More

We've all been guilty of saying things out of anger in the middle of an argument that we don't mean. But how do you forgive someone who's says something so hurtful to you that you don't know if you even want to remain in a relationship with them? Do you forgive and forget? ... Read More

My DH has been trying to get me to go play golf with him for a long time. Maybe he doesn't want me to play at all....maybe he just wants me to cart his big, old golf bag along while he plays! Ha! Like that's going to happen! Of course, if he got me a cute, pink Ogio Diva golf bag, I might change my mind....because you have to look ... Read More

I think I've bought enough decorations for our Bubba's birthday party! I just got another delievery from ebay of stuff that I forgot I bought..oops! I've got so many butterfly banners, cascades, mobile-looking things, table centrepieces, balloons,,,,oh my! The list goes on...lol So, note to self - NO MORE DECORATIONS! (Oh, and take some photos of all the stuff I've bought to share with my bloggy pals) On another note: Grandmas usually think ... Read More

Dear DD7, Please look out the window before putting on your swimming costume, grabbing your towel, goggles and sunscreen and asking if your dad can take you swimming. It COULD be raining! (The thunder and lightening is always a dead giveaway, darling) Love Mum xx On another note: It’s good to have babies, but when they are young one needs to take care of them very cautiously. A lot of accessories for them such as ... Read More

You know how much fun it is shopping online and then emailing my brother-in-law the invoices for him to pay? I mentioned that I am organising my sister's birthday party. So we agreed that I order the stuff, send B-I-L the invoice, he pays it, and I get the stuff sent to my house to put away for the party. My DH thinks I'm having too much fun because each time I ... Read More

 *start vent here* Oh, to be so well off that you can afford to spend a ridiculous amount of money on a watch! OK, so it's a Rolex Yachtmaster but I can think of a million and one things that I could do with $33,000! Do people actually spend that kind of money on a watch?! My DH wants a PT Cruiser and even buying a brand new Cruiser straight out of ... Read More
