There is nothing more I love doing than spending time with my family.  I love taking them on adventures when its just the four of us and trying to discover new things.  Sure it doesn’t always happen but when it does I love it.
I love seeing Ashton and Jett interact with Brian and visa versa [...]

I love my kids

Hopefully one day, we can get the kids a dog.  I would love one, and I think its good for the kids to get a sense of responsibility for them to be looking after an animal.
When we go down to visit Brians mum and dad in Dunsborough, the kids love playing with their dogs Roxy and Hurcules [...]

Dreaming of Babies conflicting with Star Wars Rooms

So just to give you a bit of a run down. We have two kids. Would I like anymore. My heart says yes, but my mind says no. All I ever wanted prior to getting married was 2 kids, which we have and I am extremely grateful that they are healthy, beautiful, intelligent and all those describing words you use [...]

So today Brian arranged via email to meet with a guy on Saturday morning to help him out with a few things.  He CC’s me into the email and in a reply says “I’ll check with the “War Office” later to confirm but I think Saturday morning works for me.”
Now this made me laugh, [...]

Smart little cookie…..

Last night Ashton went to swimming lessons and she must have gotten water in her ear, past her gromits on her right side.  Either that or she is getting another ear infection which means her gromits have fallen out AGAIN….  Anyway, last night when we went out for dinner for my birthday, she was in [...]

Motor mouth

Well the kids have been sick for the last three days with colds and sore throats.  This morning they woke up super early while Brian was still home and I knew then that Ashton was perfectly fine to go to school cause she just talked and talked and talked.
I am surprised that she didn’t pass [...]

SHOCK!!!!! I used Star Wars to explain a word today…….

So today Ashton asked me what Decoy means and the first thing that came to mind was star wars.  So I described it something like this…..
“Well you know in Star Wars (couldn’t remember the episode) where Princess whats-her-face (Ashton knew who I meant) hops off the Space Ship thing with Jay from Play School, (Ashton [...]

ANZAC isn’t a day, its a Biscuit Mum…..

So last weekend when we were down at Janice and Wendells, the kids were really enjoying the Anzac Biscuits Janice had in her secret stash in the cupboard.  It got me thinking that it might be a nice idea to make some Anzac Biscuits with the kids this week and have a little chat about [...]
