Cushion Cuteness
I find that with kids, having cushions is a little pointless. They end up on the floor, in a pile or end up getting dirty but that doesn’t mean I don’t long for pretty cushions on my white lounge suite. How cute are these little twitter style birds on a wire 🙂 I LOVE this […]
Fathers Day
Dad’s actually, sometimes, have a harder job than mom’s do because often they aren’t taken seriously. I have friends who feel their husbands can’t look after the kids as well as they can. I have watched many a twitter, facebook conversation saying the same thing. I have been guilty of it many times and still […]
My toddler has ADD or ADHD or something
When Cameron was a baby I joined an online parenting forum. As soon as our babies hit toddlerdom there would invariable be a post asking how do you know if your child has ADD or is hyperactive because their toddler was BUSY. Well I am not making that post. Last night Jack fell off the […]
Thankful Thursday Gratitude
It has been a while since I have done a thankful thursday. Right now I am very thankful for the roof over our head. Winter is a brutal season and it may be small and it may be chaos some days but our little house is warm. We have jackets and gowns and blankets to […]
Raising kids – sometimes you have no control
The other day while Kiara was having “homework avoidance” she said to me “Mrs van Rensburg was reading from the Bible and said that in heaven you can play with the wild animals!” Cameron replied “WHAT RUBBISH!” This sums up my kids perfectly. Kiara is all about heart and believing in what she can not […]

An early morning meme
It is really early – my house is silent except for Lucy attacking her bowl. I am busy with the list of goodies I need to get for Jacks party next weekend and saw this meme and just had to add blogging to my list of early morning things. Both Jenty and Alida did it […]
On getting a pet
So as you know, we have a dog. You may also remember I was hesitant about getting a dog. I still have my moments about it. Lucy is now, very much, a part of our lives but I still have loads of pet owner guilt associated with her. We don’t spend enough time with her. […]
It’s high school but we can wear what we want
There was a little bit of a passive aggressive twitter fight last week between a few bloggers – some of you may have seen it. I found it rather amusing and it was the first time that I was not really fussed by the whole thing and had no interest to comment. It did, however, […]
