When each of the mummified kids were little, a simple "no!" or "it's just for looking!" usually worked for keeping them from pulling the Christmas tree on top of themselves. They might have pulled a couple of the decorations off but after a while, the novelty wore off. Last Christmas, Annabelle was nine months old and she was the most curious of them all. At every opportunity, she was ... Read More

We're going, sometime through the week, to get the Santa photo done with the kids. I think I'm going to have to either bribe or pay William and Tiesha this year to be in the photo...LOL Last year I said to them that it was going to be the last time they had to be in a Santa photo because I just wanted ONE with all five of the ... Read More

I don't know if our mail and parcels are getting stolen or something but I've had two parcels go missing containing items that I purchased from eBay. The sellers swear that they sent the items and I have received the stuff that I bought after these two things. I've also been getting phone calls from an insurance company who keeps wanting to give me a life insurance quote for ... Read More

I'm thinking that I'm going to have to participate in her Paper Organization for Busy Moms workshop! One more thing to add ... Read More

Finding an effective but spacing saving way to keep our paperwork organised has been a challenge for me. At the moment I'm using A4 sized binders that sit on our bookshelves but lately I'm finding that it's not working. I was looking through the junk mail that was in our mailbox today. I saw office furniture in the same colour as our bookshelves. So I think I'm ... Read More

Tiesha and her friends got all dolled up this evening to go to their Yr 10 formal. The girls organised everything themselves, including hiring the limo and the after party at one of the girls' houses. Tiesha looked so grown up! I ALMOST cried but I didn't....this time! LOL She is over boys at the moment so she took one of her best friends as her date :) ... Read More
