My DH has a few tattoos. One on each of his shoulders, one on each of his forearms and one on the inside of his left arm. Yesterday, he finally got the tattoo he's wanted for awhile - a tribute to those who died for us. ... Read More

Have you heard about Tackle It Tuesday, hosted by 5minutesformom.com? Their catch phrase is "making housework blog-able!" I participated in a few tackles a while ago but I thought I'd have a go again because it always helps to have a little encouragement :) This week, I REALLY need to do something with my "office corner". It's not so much an office corner as a dumping ground for the nappy basket, ... Read More

My sister and her DH went for their first ultrasound on Monday. They were surprised to find out that she was 4 weeks further along than what they thought! So that means that "Chester" is due 13 October, instead of November 7 like my sister thought! So, that means 4 weeks less baby shopping time! LOL ... Read More

The babes are back at school today so it's time to get back into routine. I find that through the school holidays I just tidy up but when holidays finish, I get back into cleaning. I have so much washing to do from our weekend away that I'm trying to catch up with and we're hiring a skip at the end of the week so I'm planning on doing a big ... Read More

The kids play games online and lately they have been complaining that the computers are running slow.

What do you think? ... Read More

I've picked out some our favourite photos from our holiday to Batemans Bay and wanted to share them with you all :) I'm so sorry I can't align this slideshow up properly so it sits right on the page. Bare with me while I try to figure it out. Make a scrapbook - it's easy! ... Read More

....and we're totally exhausted! I drove back and the kids all fell asleep. DH would have to but the weather turned bad so he stayed awake to keep me company. Our holiday was brilliant! The cabin we stayed in was really nice. The first night there, the baby woke up about 4am so I was pacing the kitchen with her. I thought it was blowing a gale outside but because it was ... Read More

Yep! That's what we're going to have to endure tomorrow morning when we leave for our mini vacation. We've decided to leave early so we can be in time for the Anzac parade down the coast (we never miss the parade). I have snacks packed (even though we'll have just had breakfast) and water, find-a-word books and pens, and toys for the baby. Hopefully the baby will sleep some of ... Read More
