Last week my gorgeous boy finally turned 9. I swear he’s been counting down the days since the day after he turned 8. He’s also been asking for a camping party since last year too. Mr D and I were not keen on the idea but he eventually wore us down. We agreed that this […] Read more…
Last week I wrote about the tough decision I made to move both my kids from the school they’re currently settled at, to a totally new school next year. We’d all just about got our heads around the decision, and Josh, who totally freaked out at the first mention of it, was actually starting to do […] Read more…
As a mum I have to make decisions for my kids on a daily basis, especially as they’re not old enough yet to make a lot of them for themselves. I don’t always get it right and suffer the mummy guilt consequences for a while before we all get over it and move on. However, there […] Read more…
We had such beautiful weather over the summer school holidays that I think the clouds sucked up half the ocean and then decided to dump the whole lot on us, on the first day of school. Usually I hate it when it rains this much on school pick ups and drop offs, as dragging a […] Read more…
I’ve set myself a little project to capture my three kids together every month of this year. I’ve also decided to start using their real names too, as quite frankly I’m sure everyone knows them anyway. Besides it’ll be a lot easier to type too!!

I hope you enjoy this little video as much as I did making it. Will you be getting any family time this weekend?? If you’re in Sydney keep cool […] Read more…
It seems I may have got two new babies while Mr D has been away on a business trip………Ooops!! So it’s an interesting story really. I’ve desperately wanted a kitten for ages and now that we’re nice and settled I though it was the perfect time. However Mr D wasn’t so keen, and our landlord […] Read more…
We’ve been counting down the days until we got to today since forever! I’m sure we started n the 100’s but at looooooong last, my gorgeous boy has turned 8. Birthdays are such a huge deal when you’re a kid and all you want to do is get to the next one, literally the second […] Read more…
I took the opportunity on Sunday, being Aussie Fathers Day to take a few photos of Mr D with the kids. It was the perfect day for it as there was lots of ‘love’ in the air. Miss H was so excited to give daddy her homemade Fathers Day present that I couldn’t get her […] Read more…
