iPhone Babycinos
On Thursday mornings the little one and I go to Belconnen markets. This has been a long standing tradition and one that I cherish. With shopping out of the way we have morning tea at the organic cafe. For some reason we started taking photos of his babycinos and each week we judge whether or…

Fun in the Snow
The family has just returned from taking the boys for a play in the snow. We chose Mt Selwyn snowfields – a lot more family orientated with a great toboggan park. The boys had a lovely time and we wished we could have gone skiing but have chalked that up to next time. Having spent…

Foam Letter Accidental Art
With a lot of ‘help’ from the boys, we cleaned the foam letters last weekend. We had a real production line going with frames, letters and inserts filling every available space. My darling husband decided they were not drying quickly enough laying flat on the table. So I came outside to find that he had…

Happy Easter
Happy Easter! Today is the one day of the year that the boys eat chocolate for breakfast! The easter bunny (who hopped out of bed at 4:18 this morning) left a few tasty treats in the nests we made in the garden yesterday. Not even the rain could deter him! This is a picture of…

The Beach
With autumn fast approaching we decided to take off and enjoy the last of summer at Broulee beach last weekend. It’s been, incredibly, over a year since we last went to the coast and the boys had such a great time now they are that little bit older. The eldest had a great time with…

Thursday Lattes
Excuse the quality of this picture, it was taken on my iPhone. Every Thursday the little one and I go to Belconnen Markets to pick up the few things we can’t get at EPIC farmers market. This has been a long standing tradition and our visit always ends in coffee and treats at the organic…

Gingerbread People
Every year I make some little sweet treats to give to good friends and the boys’ teachers. Every year I wonder why I do this to myself. My kitchen is now, quite literally, being invaded by gingerbread people, red iced heart shaped German Christmas cookies and spekulatius (Austrian I think) stars. Fortunately it’s all over…

It’s My Birthday!!
It’s my birthday today and once again my family, nephews, sister-in-law, colleagues and friends have all managed to make me feel so special. This is my present from my darling husband but I have to confess I actually got it a week ago. Can you tell that I’m techno freak? I’ve also noticed that there…

Graffiti Belly
Three guesses on what this is a picture of… give up? This is my stomach with cryptic notes written by a surgeon. I had surgery last Tuesday (you don’t need the gory details) and he wrote on my belly just before I went under. I asked him the next day what it meant and he…

Sportacus in the house!
My youngest is completely enamoured with Sportacus the character from the TV show called Lazy Town, which hails from Iceland of all places! As a reward for all his stickers on his toilet reward chart (yes we are tackling toilet training) he got this very cool Sportacus suit. He loves dressing up and he decided…
