So much to do – so little time.  This month is crazy busy, like full on cray cray.  We’ve already started with the parties and the packing, but there are…

Goodness, this weekend totally owned me.  For reals.  I am more exhausted now than I was before it started.  We have been very busy making sure that our kids get…

I haven’t watched this movie.  But if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that Stella was a part time working Mom of 3 lovely, but busy and…

It’s not often that I am affected by the things that people say to me or about me.  Not any more anyway (shout out to high school Cindy – you…

So the 1st of September happened yesterday.  In case you didn’t notice. I almost didn’t, but when I did realise what day it was, I got a massive fright.  I…

Sort of like my currently post a while back, there’s a lot going on.  But when I do have a chance to take a picture it seems to be going…

I like to make a big deal out of things. It doesn’t have to be a big deal, but I will make it one.  It could be anything really –…

One of my new favourite things to do after I’ve cuddled Knox to sleep and put him down for his afternoon nap, is to make myself a lovely cup of…

Welcome to Monday.  We’re all still feeling under the weather over here at the Alfino snot factory, um I mean abode, and I know it seems too soon for it to…

Today I am sitting in the midst of 3 sick, moody children and I think that I am slowly losing the battle, in the fight against all the germs that…

It has become apparent to me that soon our faces are going to be plastered right at the top of every restaurant list, right under the “DO NOT LET THESE…

I’m so sick of thinking about packing and not packing and how I should be packing that I have decided to think about beautiful clothes instead.  Aaaaah, that’s better. On…

It seems to be birthday season at the moment, the girls celebrations are still dying down in our house and yet we are attending parties like it’s going out of…

This weekend was a great success in the packing front and by that I mean that it totally wasn’t.  Unless packing 4 boxes is considered success.  Anyway, it helped me…

We did it. We got through Riya’s very first photo shoot and despite all the ups and downs of the day, if you ask her today if she had fun…

Have I mentioned that we took away Riya’s num num? I don’t think I have, which is quite weird considering it has made a huge change to the stability that…

Long weekends are amazing aren’t they!  We packed so much in to this weekend (literally packed and parties and teas and meeting up with visiting family) that we were so…

This weekend the old gang got together.  And I almost didn’t recognise them.  Just take a look at them just 9 months ago…  Now look at these… These kids went…

I know that I am seriously slacking in the blogging front right now.  For example we had a pretty awesome mermaid party on the weekend that went from this pile…

I have now packed a total of 7 boxes.  I am so proud of myself right now.  And for some reason I just can’t get enough of this packing thing,…

Every year I like to throw the girls a nice party. I suppose I feel this need because, well, it’s their birthday and it only comes around once a year. …

It’s finally happened.  All the papers are signed (well not really, because I’m not counting all the mountain of legal paperwork to come) but the decision making papers are signed. …

Things be crazy up in here!  We finally just have one last piece of the puzzle to sort out and then we will be moving.  Crazy but true.  I’m reservedly…
