I found out today that my cousin and his wife welcomed their first child to the world this morning - a little boy! And typical as my cousin is, that was all the information we received. No time, no weight, no length, OR name! I guess I'll have to wait to get all the details from my aunty...lol Technorati Tags: new baby,baby boy,cousin ... Read More
We have a six seat dining table which was big enough for us up until now. The baby is big enough now to sit with us at the table when we have our meals. It's amazing how high chairs have changed over time. When our son was born (16 years ago), the high chairs were basic. There were no models that could be adjusted to different levels or ... Read More

If you've been following me on twitter, you'd know that I lost my voice a couple of days ago. I still have a really sore throat and my voice has been coming and going. My doctor has said to try and give my voice a rest. Ummm, hello! You have been my doctor for 12 years. You KNOW that I have absolutely now way of giving my voice ... Read More
I refuse to buy any more acne treatments! We seem to have found the one that works for my teenagers but because DD15's friends are trying some other product, DD15 decides that she NEEDS to get that one now! I think it's just a matter of her trying to "keep up with the Joneses" and I've told her that if she wants to get anything else, she can pay ... Read More
You know how you go to put something away and you end up putting it in your "safe spot" but then you go looking for it and you can't find it? Well, that's what I did with DH's pocket watch. It had stopped working and I put it away until I had a chance to take it to the jewellers to get it fixed along with one of my bracelets. ... Read More
The baby has discovered that she can squeal. So it has been quite noisy around this place. If she's not "yelling" at her older siblings because they aren't letting her in their bedrooms', she's yelling at me because I closed the baby-safety gate behind me when I walked into the kitchen. When she's not squealing, she's running away from me! When I ask her to come and get her ... Read More
The older I get, the more "meh" I feel when it's that time of month. Not only do I get cranky and sooky, but I get really bad cramps and headaches. It's a good thing that the kids (and DH) are learning to keep away from me when Aunt Flo is due to visit but I'm thinking that I'm going to have to look into trying something different to try ...

Ahhh, my DD15 is always giving me something to write about her on my blog...lol...but this time it's not too bad! She started work experience today, after getting "unsuspended" and getting back to school. She is so excited about the work experience. It's one day a week for five weeks at a beauty salon. I'm sure I've mentioned before that she wants to get into hair and beauty when she ... Read More
It's amazing how quickly these carpets get dirty! We have a rule that we don't wear shoes inside but the carpets still seem to attract muddy foot prints, grass, and it still gets grubby! The babes wear white socks as part of their school uniforms and yesterday I noticed how dirty DD8's socks were after taking her shoes off and walking around the house! And seriously, I have ...
