Today was the final straw! We got up this morning and I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast only to find that I had forgotten to take a tub of butter out of the freezer. So there was no butter to make the sandwiches for school! So I have decided that I am going to become the perfect housewife! Now, don't get me wrong! I'm not aiming to be one ... Read More
My dad and stepmum organised a birthday afternoon tea for me yesterday because they aren't going to be able to come over on my actual birthday (which is 21 May). I'm so excited about my gifts that I just HAD to show them off! My stepmum knows that I have a "cupcake fetish" so she was quite the enabler! I received cupcake-shaped bath fizzes, a cupcake keyring, and a cupcake belly ring. And ... Read More
DD8 was getting ready for school this morning when she called out from the bathroom. "Mum, do you want me to get the de-strangular spray?" Hmmm, imagining a Simpson's type episode where DH is strangling DS16 and here I am to save the day with the de-strangular spray to stop him strangling him! Back to present time, I answered "Yes, I do need the DE-TANGLER spray to do your hair, G!" ... Read More
I was just chatting with a girlfriend this morning and she told me that they finally got their car back after having to get it fixed. A provisional driver had crashed into them (nothing serious) but the cost to get their car fixed wasn't something to sneeze at. Luckily the kid had insurance! So, anyway, they got the car back this morning and as her DH was driving out of the ... Read More
Is this possible? Are kids capable of keeping their wardrobes tidy? Maybe it's just my lot that are feral...lol I don't know how many times I've gone into the girls' bedroom only to find shorts, t-shirts and other clothing exploding out of the wardrobes! I don't know how to organise it in a way that will help them keep it tidy. At the moment, DD15 has her own wardrobe which is ... Read More
The kids always seem to find some excuse to put off doing their homework. They either can't find a ruler, or scrap paper, or a calculator. Or they have left their pencil case at school. So I decided to create a "homework box". I'm reusing a plastic tote that I had sitting in the cupboard (I used to use it for some of my scrapbooking stuff) and I've gathered all the supplies ...

Shaanon from Rocks In My Dryer shared simple things that she finds very satisfying and asked what simple things satisfied everyone else.

A few weeks ago I was sent a product to review and with it came another product which I read was supposedly helping teenagers clear their acne as a side effect. So I asked DS16 if he would be my guinea pig and surprisingly it's working for him! I think it is the natural ingredients that are contained in the weight loss tablets, like lipovox, that actually aid in clearing ... Read More
My darling husband told me yesterday that I am a bad passenger driver. I have absolutely no idea what he means! ... Read More
