I feel a little like I’m cheating but I’m not really I swear. When I read that the theme for My Place and Yours hosted at Hello Owls was Collections my first thought was oh poo. You see because we moved into a smaller house, had an extra child and immediately started renovating most of [...]
Today we learnt about the importance of Skelingtons. Sorry I know I should use the correct pronunciation but some times the the kids word creations deserve to be spared the dissolving mists of time. First I asked the kids to make this pillow case stand up by its self. I playfully mocked their efforts saying [...]
Renovation update, we have totally given up on the lounge room for now. After a years work involving ripping plastic wood cladding off the walls, finding and repairing whopping great big holes and old doorways that never got filled in.

Eli came home with this creation he made at Riv Kids the home schooling group we attend. He proudly displayed it on the table for his Daddy to see when he got home from work. I wasn’t around when the viewing took place but later that afternoon Glenn pulls me aside and whisper asks “Why [...]

She’s been hoping all week that she would get a ribbon on a stick after seeing Lilly get hers. You didn’t realize did you that a ribbon on a stick is the most exciting present ever, see all that wasted money on talking robots. Don’t worry I’m not getting preachy on you, it’s just been really funny all week to watch her ogling Lilly’s stick ribbon and declaring quite mater of factly that she should really get one too because “I did really want one the most and for a longer time, even before Lilly did”
