I need to do more packing today for our weekend away. We're leaving on Friday but because we're not going to fit everything in our van, my dad and stepmum are dropping in tomorrow to pick up some of our stuff and stick it in the back of their truck and their caravan. The girls are all packed. I'm almost all packed. DH and DS16 will probably pack Thursday night (they ... Read More

Although there's still 6-7 months before my nephew or niece will grace us with his/her arrival, I thought I'd send my sister the link to Doodlebug Dezigns. She's going to want to start thinking about what type of photo birth announcements she will order because before she knows it, she'll run out of time and the bub will be here! ... Read More

I received this in my inbox today from my stepmum: There was a man who had worked all his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real 'miser' when it came to his money. Just before he died, he said to his wife...'When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the ... Read More

Kat from My Single Mom Life tagged me for this meme.

Don't forget to leave them a comment saying (You're It!) and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you. Since I recently did ... Read More

It's easy to buy cheap hair ties but because my girls all have thick hair, the cheap ones don't last long and end up being a waste of money. So I was excited to find Girly Things - Making ... Read More

While we were eating dinner at my dad and stepmum's house last night, Baby A decided that she wanted to lie down in the doll's crib. But as soon as she climbed in there, she didn't like it and wanted to get out...lol ... Read More

This is why I didn't post on my blog yesterday: My DH has been sick for the last couple of days with some sort of virus and yesterday, he woke up looking worse than ever so I made an appointment for him with our doctor (he doesn't like going to the doctor and usually tries to shake off any flu/virus that he gets). The doctor told him to get up to ... Read More

A few days ago, I was sent some products from Biotivia to try. One of them was BioQuench, promoted as a super-antioxidant and is formulated to get rid of the free radicals in your body that cause aging as well as promoting other benefits. BioQuench contains only natural products, which is another benefit. The major ingredient is Trans-resveratrol which is a great product on it's own. Other ingredients include apple extract, ... Read More

So, May 9 is DD7's 8th birthday and we're just having family drop in for cupcakes in the afternoon because it's a school day. On the Saturday, she is having a pirate party and is inviting some of her friends. I've been buying stuff for this party for a few months now and have a huge plastic tub full of goody bag items, decorations and STUFF! Above: some of the goody bag ... Read More
