tonight

Sabrina is crying, she is over tired and Glenn is singing to her. He just apologised so sweetly to her for playing to long. I don’t blame him, it was too cute. She has been climbing on the lounge and springing into his arms bursting with gurgling laughs as they met eye to eye. The [...]


My place & Yours – pre loved/thrifted/inherited

No the children aren’t pre loved or thrifted though you could say they were inherited as both Glenn and I used the genes we inherited from our parents to make them. The items that really actually do fit are: The bookshelf that used to live at my brothers house All the clothes (other than Lani’s [...]


And for the trifecta

As if my week wasn’t bad enough, this is Sabrina with a hole in her head. The worst part was it happened in my room while she was in my care. Hello guilty feelings welcome to my stomach. I hadn’t been feeling the best, hey maybe it’s stress ya think,  so I rang Glenn and [...]


Oh Yeah and then

The baby flushed my mobile phone down the toilet. Sabrina has an unnatural fascination with the old water closet and lies in wait for any opportunity to dive in. Whenever the door is left open she’s in there in seconds commencing her flotation experiments with whatever valuables she can get her chubby little fingers on. [...]


How to steal sympathy from strangers

This actually happened last week and I meant to write it down but I barely have a functioning brain cell left and I simply forgot. Whenever we go to a homeschooling park gathering where swarms of children run free transforming nature into the tools of their imaginations we always have a little bit of trouble [...]


Alanah insisted I post this

“Mummy Mummy, I didn’t know cats were an important part of Aboriginal culture”


My Place & Yours – Yellow

Not that I have anything against yellow loving individuals however I have always held the belief that they would be just a little too sunshiny to endure any prolonged contact with. All that beaming around the place could become grating after a while. But, I fully admit that [...]


Never Never Boy

Totally out of the blue today Eli approaches me visibly upset. “ I’m NEVER ever going to be an adult!” “oh well I think one day you will be” “No I’m never growing up, why are you always saying I’m growing up!” He screamed in frustration like I’m constantly jumping out from behind the furniture [...]


Very small cave painting

As part of the unit on Australian Aboriginal art and culture we decided to have ago at cave painting, well rock painting to be precise. We used the dot painting technique that was originally used in impermanent sand art works.


Please pray for Finn

Please pray for my friends little boy. He is undergoing some really tough cancer treatment, you can read about him here. He has been been spending some precious and rare time at home last week but has had to go back to hospital tonight because of a temperature. Please also pray for Jo’s other two [...]
