Its 2013….Happy New Year!!!
It has been 10 days since 2012 finished and 2013 started, and I have spent the last ten days getting organised, sorted, appointments, and really enjoying my kids. Jaden’s second birthday is on the 12th so I have organised a little birthday morning tea for him and his little cousin Charlotte who is 8 days younger than him. I have also spent time writing – not just for my blog (not yet published as I have been juggling the must do, with the want to do), but planning 2013 and action plans too boot! This week hubby went back to work, and while I was sad the holidays…

Spring and the heat of renovating!
Its only been 1 month and 10 days since Spring started and I am not coping well with the heat. Its not even Summer yet. Summer starts on the 1 December and I am wondering if I have a thermostat issue. Is it just me…or is everyone feeling overheated? Are my hormones going crazy or have I just forgotten how hot a true Summer can be here in Queensland. I miss our old house in Chancellor Park. It was a lovely 3 bedroom home, with a pool. Looking back – it was very nice. Not enough room for 6 people – 4 of which are growing and need…

Forget and do not look at yesterdays post! ….Move forward to good things and Beanie Parties
Today I woke up feeling good. What a relief! Just don’t go back to yesterday’s post when I was having a grumble about feeling out of sorts, and lets face it – I was Mrs Cranky Pants yesterday – so I don’t want you going backwards – GO Forwards! As I woke this morning from a lovely dream about our little family winning a prize home on the Gold Coast, I decided that today – I was going to be kind to myself and give myself permission to enjoy my day! Afterall, yesterday I had an ‘internal melt down’ which was a bit nasty. Yesterday was supposed to be…

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…
