And mother of the year award goes to….. 

Not me My little munchkin fell off the bed this morning. We’d both fallen asleep and he woke up and crawled off the bed. I woke with a start when I heard the thud and suddenly he was screaming. I was in such a daze, I shrieked for Simon (poor man nearly had a […]

Finally, the mojo’s back 

So I managed to submit a layout for the DSSA challenge, as well as a photograph for Bev’s photography challenge where we were to photograph any building. These were my submissions:

Three years ago yesterday 

Simon and I were found guilty and sentenced to a lifetime of LURVE with no option of parole. Cheesy, eh? Funny how a few years ago I couldn’t see myself married with children and now I can’t imagine my life without my 3 boys We were watching our wedding video a […]

The snowball effect… 

Is what it’s called. The process that ’starts from an initial state of small significance and builds upon itself….’ (according to Wikipedia). There. That sums it up nicely. My layout for the DSSA challenge is still not finished, simply because I started creating one embellishment after the other, because nothing I had *worked* for me. […]

Come fly with me… 

Yep, he’s back from his flight and LOVED it! I’m so glad I got him the flight experience - now I think he’ll suffer from withdrawals until he goes again He said it was fantastic and he got to fly after takeoff and was allowed to *play around* in the air (not sure that […]

2 Year molars are the pits! 

Does anybody want a 2 year old male child, going cheap this week??! My golly gosh, Matthew has been driving us bonkers this week! Poor Jason has been bearing the brunt of it - bite marks, smacked head, being jumped on *sigh* Matthew has been in timeout for most of this week and has been […]

All by myself….dah dee deeeeeeeh 

Yep. Simon went off to Melbourne for his ‘challenge’ thingo. He called me from The Clarion Hotel last night and described the room and the view. I’m so jealous! I had an interesting evening, running between both boys, as one woke the other. I eventually got both settled and managed to get out Simon’s light […]

Holy Moly. 7 Months old today and a new trick. 

Well, technically not a new trick, but I managed to catch it on camera for the first time today. Have a look:

So we’ve had a few tears from banging heads on the tiles and this afternoon a bloody mouth :S No broken teeth, thankfully (my worst fear) All four little toofies still intact […]

Dept of Home Affairs. Bleurgh. 

How easy is it to register your child as a South African citizen if you’re out of the country on a work visa? Hmmm…..let’s see….you have 3 guesses. Hard. Harder. HARDEST! Original birth certificate, original marriage certificate of parents….EIGHT separate forms all asking for parents’ details. I despair of this happening quickly, knowing what Home […]
