So we’re coming into our 4th (?) week of he Photo Imaging course that I’m doing at TAFE. Majority of the time spent already has been focussed on wet photography – using a film camera, developing our own negatives and our own prints. The first afternoon we went out to take photos, I had to use one of the TAFE’s cameras because I was still waiting for mine ... Read More
Annabelle loves hearing me sing the alphabet song – over and over and over. She and I were driving into town the other week and she asked me to sing it. She joins in with the bits she knows. The drive into town is long enough for me to sing it 20 times….just in case you were wondering! But I don’t mind doing it because I’ve found that ... Read More
So yesterday saw Giorgia starting Year 4 and today saw Madeline starting Year 9. I only have two kiddos at school now – up until Annabelle turns 3 in March and then we’ll be sending her to preschool 1-2 days a week. Giorgia is a bit concerned that she’ll get the same teacher as last year. We didn’t have any problems with him but she just wants to have ... Read More

I don’t think that the ones I would like to read this will read this but I think a vocabulary lesson is needed: I have spent the last half hour trying to figure out how I was going to blog about the incident that happened at the high school this afternoon but every time I start typing, it just isn’t working for me and I’m afraid ...

Part of the TAFE course I’m doing involves a Women Studies unit where we discuss, as well as other issues, issues that women face when trying to return to work after being a full time mum for so long. I last worked outside the home nearly 14 years ago. It would be easy for me to say that I don’t have any skills that would give me an advantage ... Read More
Last year, it was the Premier’s Reading Challenge. This year, Giorgia has brought home a note telling us all about the Premier’s Adventure Challenge which is all about encouraging kids to visit art galleries and museums. Personally I think this is really exciting because I love visiting galleries and museums. Giorgia thinks it might be fun but when I mentioned making it a family outing the older kids looked ...

Some people didn’t turn up to the “Intro to Photoshop” course I showed interest in so I was lucky enough to get in. It’s a TAFE Outreach course which is being held at the community centre at the primary school that Giorgia used to go to, goes for 8 weeks and I’ll get a Statement Of Attainment when the course is finished. When the teacher starting talking about F-stops ... Read More
THIS GIVEAWAY HAS NOW FINISHED!! Keep reading to find out how you can win a Kindy Kamper. I don’t know about the kindy that your kids go to but the one we sent our kids to didn’t exactly have the most comfortable mats/stretchers for the kids to rest on. So when I first saw Kindy Kamper, I so wished these were on the market ... Read More
With only one more week of the school holidays left, it’s time to start thinking Winter uniforms. Madeline has had a growth spurt so the long pants that she wore last year are almost 3/4 pants now and Giorgia’s winter uniform is useless now because she has changed schools. It gets really costly buying everything that the kids need for school so I was impressed to find ... Read More
