From Mom

Is it too late to tell you about our awesome holiday a couple of weeks ago?  I know, I know.  Bad blogger, but you know what I was sick and…

Right now I am sitting bundled up in about 100 blankets and still freezing to death.  Sick again.  Yippee.  (Yes, that’s right – if you actually care you might remember…

Hey that rhymes.   [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8DQaUoPmJg] Sitting here listening to this song takes me straight back into time – 6 years (and 5 days ago to be exact – soz, holidays…

Hello there! We are still going strong over here at 3 Kids, 2 Dogs and 1 Old House – despite what the lack of blogness would suggest. We were able…

You know, sometimes I sit here, desperate for something to say but I just can’t think of anything.  I start typing a thousand different things only for them to be…

It’s quite a scary thing to watch your children doing the things that you used to do when you were little.  It’s even scarier when it doesn’t even seem like…

Swimming. The word brings up fond memories of splashing around in the pool, kicking and screaming…  Or no, on second thoughts that might be drowning which is pretty much what…

There are certain smells that just remind me of things.  Like the smell of freshly mown grass totally just smells like Summer, add in some sunscreen and petrol and suddenly…

Is there a way to keep babies tiny and little and baby-like forever?  If you know of something let me know.  The best I’ve come up with is a brick…

I don’t know about you, but we have a pretty good idea of who our children are.  You know, like without really even thinking about it you know exactly how they…

The girls new hobby is to take “pishures” with my camera ALL.  THE.  TIME!  To be honest it can be a bit frustrating because they don’t give my little baby…

How cute are these little felt finger puppets?  As you can see, the girls put each of the little bits on which they absolutely adored doing.  This craft is so…

Time is such a precious commodity in our house at the moment.  The kids are sick (joys of going to school) and this time it has affected Knox as well…

Last Friday the girls had a “What do you want to be when you grow up” day at school.  Because I’m the best and most organised parent ever, I asked…

Going out in public always entails the same thing for us no matter where we go.  Sometimes it’s just a whisper, other times an assumed statement made to their friends,…

Disclaimer for all those sick of hearing about Oscar – although it kind of refers to it, this post is not about his trial, his guilt or his anything really. …

Our gorgeous little man is almost 5 months old! Unfortunately, although I am trying to fight it very hard, we seem to be falling into the whole 3rd child thing…

What a crazy, manic week last week was.  For some reason I thought it was possible to regain some sense of normality this weekend, but I don’t know what I…

Another Valentine’s Day down the hatch.  Thank goodness. I remember a time when we used to celebrate Valentine’s Day…  You know, before we were married with children.  Now we only…

Apparently today is a special day for some people…  So happy Valentine’s Day to you.  But if you totally couldn’t care less about it (as I do), I’ll give you…

What I am about to explain to you might come as a shock.  You would never have thought that these things were possible coming from my middle child.  Riya-Ray or…

I’ve never had my own car.  Not once.  I have my license, even been so “lucky” as to renew it once already, but never really been able to use it…

A 1000 kisses from you is never too much, never too much…   I don’t know who sings this song originally because I just don’t care about things like that,…
