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,…

Never did I think that having a boy would be so different to having a girl, except of course changing the nappies (that was a shocker the first couple of…

I might not have ever mentioned it, but I live in the same house that I did when I was growing up.  After Seth and I got married we took…

We had a little playdate at our house and I thought it would be cool to put out all the girls dress up clothes so that they could all be…

The last time we went to the beach Riya was freaking out about the sand in her toes.  And the water.  And the dogs.  And the sun.  And the…  Well…

  Me and my little buddha I seriously have to catch up on my blog reader.  Like seriously. I’m feeling totally out of the loop – a real FOMO in…

So a while back there was this big special day that we celebrated but I was kind of busy at the time so I didn’t blog about it.  But I…

Just before the holidays ended we decided to spend a Saturday morning at Giraffe House with special friends, relishing in the little bit of time that we had left together to…

There are some people that you meet in your life that weave into it and then out, never to be heard from again.  But then there are those that you…

Yesterday my little girls started school.  I can’t believe I have just written those words. The night before I spent hours packing their bags and making sure that everything that…

Oh how I have missed all of you! I don’t really have much of an excuse except to say that we’ve been busy, so very busy.  Getting into routines, spending…

We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year…  I’m sure that you are singing that…

Have I mentioned how much Kyla loves to paint?  Well, imagine a person that really loves to paint…  That would be her.  I’m not even kidding that she asks me…
