I mentioned sometime last month that we were undecided on having a Halloween party. Well, we are certainly having one and I have been really enjoying all the bits and pieces involved in getting ready for a whole – lot – of – fun!I bought these gorgeous party printables from Shindig Parties TO GO! a couple of weeks ago and they really are too cute. Amanda has done such a fabulous job with these and they were just perfect as I was looking for a not too scary, very kid friendly design with your […]
We have a little veggie patch growing in our back yard.Master 3 has been so excited about it, diligently watering the brocollini, carrots, tomato, spring onion and his favourite herb, oregano.

I had the camera ready to capture Master 3’s face as he viewed his tenderly cared for vegetable, only for us all to be surprised that it was a teeny, tiny carrot. “Not ready” his daddy said, as they pushed it back into the patch. The tomatos were ripening on the vine and turning a […]

{image from here}We’re still getting better.It’s been a little rough and I’ve gone a little crazy.When my kids are sick I stay at home for a couple of reasons. 1, so they can rest and recuperate. 2, so we don’t infect other people and 3, because they sleep so badly when they’re sick I am too pooped to go anywhere anyhow.
