Snapshots
My New Quilt Photography Prop…
…is totally unco-operative, especially when you suddenly realise that the daylight is about to run out and interrupt him mid-feed to snap a photo of your WIP. But when he’s really good… (you might need to prepare yourself for this one, there is some serious squee action ahead) …he is REALLY good.
Merry Christmas!
Please enjoy this thinly veiled attempt to show you how perfect my life is an how beautiful my children are under the guise of sending you my best wishes. (but seriously, have an awesome day) (and dude, you have to admit it, my boys (and bauble daughter) are seriously gorgeous)
Why I’m A Crap Mum – Reason #78
I hate family meals. For years Dan and I have fed the ferals kids, put them to bed and the sat down on the sofa and watched a show together whilst eating off our laps. Yes, it involved making two meals, but damn, it was nice to just sit and chillax after the craziness that … Continue reading
Saturday Consisted Of…
Showers, and me concluding that Declan is part amphibian. Connor, on the other hand, will spend the entire time daring himself to actually go under the stream of water instead of just putting his hands and feet into it. Baking, with thanks to Woman’s Weekly, the northern hemisphere is seriously missing out on this one, … Continue reading
Fire, Fire!
The boys and I spent the morning at the Firefighter Championships, climbing on old fire engines, watching fire demos and idolising the firemen that were all around us. I’m not sure what it is about firemen that gets little boys so excited, but the boys loved it, Declan has been telling me all of his … Continue reading
Snips And Snails…
and puppy dog tails. That’s what my little home is made of. Connor is fast on his way to two years old, and still has yet to talk or walk. He tries, he makes plenty of progress, and then stops and regresses back to where he was. Declan’s psych says not to worry about it … Continue reading
You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet
For the first couple of years of Declan’s life I was convinced that it would all get easier as time went on. This whole parenting shebang couldn’t be this hard forever, right? It didn’t. In some ways it’s almost getting harder, as he grows I have more expectations of him and I’m more aware as … Continue reading
The Voices Inside My Computer
The internet plays a big part in my life, I met Dan way back when through our respective blogs (although back in the dark ages they were still called “online journals”), most of our family income in generated through our sites and connections we make online, and, as sad as it may seem to most … Continue reading
Sew Happy
I love sewing. The process of cutting up bits of fabric and putting them back together seems completely insane to some (aka, my husband) but I really can’t think of anything I would rather do with my spare time. I love fabric, I love trying out new techniques and colour combinations, most of all I … Continue reading
Bunnies.
Today I made bunnies for Declan and Conman. We went to the playground with the boys. I watched the families around us, the brothers and sisters interacting with one another, I got jealous of the large families, which quickly turned to bitterness as I sat there and tried to work out what I’d done wrong … Continue reading
