Things To Ponder

There has been a big change in our house recently. Now that Seth has become a full 10kg’s lighter than he used to be, he performed an amazing hair removal…

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…

Lately I have been taking time in my day to sit down and reflect on life.  In particular to reflect on each one of my children’s lives that I have…

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…

Since the girls have started school I have seriously cut down TV time in our house, only putting it on when they are about to rip each others heads off.…

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…

This last week has been hectic.  Knox has his first real sickness which started with a fine rash from the top of his head to the bottom of his toes,…

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…

The other night while I was putting the girls to sleep, Riya had passed out with ease, but Kyla was a bit restless.  Suddenly she sat up and told me…

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…

I never had a sister, but I had a younger brother.  We had good times and we had bad times (I remember a particular episode in the parking lot of…

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. …

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…
