Oompa Loompa’s live at Kmart Caloundra
I am guilty of lying to my children. I have encouraged them to believe in Santa, the Tooth fairy, the Easter Bunny and Oompa Loompa’s! I made the lie more authentic by creating an email address – not for the Oompa Loompa’s, but the others. However, because i find it hard to swallow that these mysteriously pretend characters get all the praise for our hard work of buying our kids their Christmas presents….Santa and the Easter Bunny have found themselves affected by the GFC. In fact all three of them are having some money woes. Santa and his friends come and leave their wares, but the value of the gifts…

Birthday Present Ideas!
Ok, a while back I said to hubby that I would love to own a unit at the Circle on Caville – only $650 K. Not sure why he scoffed, because we were all talking about what we wanted for our birthdays. Now I did also say that I wouldn’t mind if I never got another birthday or Christmas present EVER again if I was given this as a gift – if we could own one of these units. I vaguely remember him saying that he would like that in writing?! 🙂 I am thinking I was being considerate in my thinking! However, as the months are rolling by and…

Before I die, I want to…
I found this concept amazing. After a significant person in Candy Chang’s life passed away in 2009, she began wondering what the meaning of life was. She wanted to do something a little bit out there in her community that would bring people together, and so this campaign started. Chang got permission to cover the front wall of an abandened home in New Orleans with blackboards, and she painted at the top the words “BEFORE I DIE, I WANT TOO…. “. People from all over the city of New Orleans congregated and left messages all over the board. Some funny, some significant and some serious…. Across America and now across…

Jaden…the only boy child!
Jaden is turning 20 months this month….on the 12th actually – which is Wednesday next week. This child is amazingly cute, gorgeous and a whole lot of fun, but let me say that he has turned my world upside down and inside out. Obviously he is a positive in my life, but he gets into absolutely everything. My girls loved to colour pictures. Jaden loves to colour walls, tables and floors. My girls loved to play tea parties. Jaden loves to pull all the plastics out of the cupboard and jump all over them. Oh, and he pulls the toaster out and shakes it all over the kitchen. The girls…

Coffee with a good friend
On Saturday night I took some time out with a friend – we met up at Mooloolaba and hobbled up to Gloria Jeans to kick back and chat. I have a huge blister on the bottom of my foot, but I was absolutely determined to have a fun night. There is no way I am going to allow a sore blister to get in the way of friendship and hot chocolate! 🙂 Mooloolaba is spectacular during the day, and when you get to walk down the pathway next to the ocean where the sun hits the surface of the water, you know that your in paradise. The night life of…

Sleep Over Tents…Aren’t these great
I would love to make these for the kids…and have a few spare for when we have friends over or cousins come…in fact, I would love to make one of these for all the little cousins coming. I have been looking at ‘how to make a ‘tee pee’ but I think I love this idea far more than a tee pee. I don’t know which of my kids would love theirs more…but I know without a shadow of a doubt that I know that all of them would love it. I also like the fact that these Sleep over tents would fold and store away easily. …

Going on a bear hunt…
This is one of my kids favourite stories of all time… they love the Swishy Swashing! Splash Sploshing! Squelch Squerching! Stumble tripping! Hooo Wooooing! the Tiptoeing! that happens in the story. I love their excited faces as we reach the part of the story when we actually go into the cave and find the bear and have to do the whole adventure in reverse. Do you live your life in the hurried reverse of trying to get home before the bear gets you! In real life the bear may not be the bear itself, it might be ‘getting the kids to school on time’, ‘getting homework done’, ‘it might…

The Quest has begun
The quest for ultimate health has started…you should see some of the things I am googling and looking up on Pinterest! There is so much information out on the internet that you can change your life and turn it upside down all by yourself these days if you have any will power at all? The other part of this is that there is no excuse for us to not know how to find information. How is your will power levels going? Well for me personally I wanted to start the process of looking at the types of foods I have been accustomed to eating because I am sure there are…
