Bubblebubs and our bus has a name

My Bubble Bubs nappies are here. How long have I been trying to get my hands on some of these nappies??? I think for as long as we have been using cloth, I have been trying to secure these hard to come by items. Lovely, so nice to touch and work very well. Ivy gives […]


Happy Birthday Davey and I don’t care if it’s May, Winter is HERE!

Yesterday was David’s 36th birthday. Happy birthday baby! Only four years until the big 4.0…is that why you seemed a bit flat today? Got a bit of the birthday blues? We’ve seen a few birthdays together.
I think the first birthday I celebrated with David was his 19th. A group of us ambushed him as […]


Clothes Mountain, purging, Noah (Norah) the crossdressing boy and Ivy the daredevil

It was a busy weekend in this household! On Saturday we all went from room to room and purged our lives of excess! Hooray. Admittedly, I still have to scrub the house down post purge and we didn’t make it to our bedroom (that will take a whole weekend in itself, I think) but all […]


Name that Bus!

Our bus still has no name.
Someone from Belly Belly thought of Betty. I kind of like it, catchy, cute but the kids thought Betty was too old for a spanker like our newbie.
AJ thought of BoomBar…don’t ask. It has to be a boy thing.
David suggested Nicky Narcolepsy and while I laughed VERY hard at that […]


Tigers, Kelly and the curse of the broken bus.

I know alot about Bengal Tigers now. Go on, ask me about them. Lily had an assignment, where she had to pick an animal and research it. Tomorrow she will present the information to the class and be graded. I hope I get an A. Seriously. Lily might be doing the talking but I did all […]


Nappies, nappies and more nappies, my brand new bus, pram pushing group and my paperbag album

I know this is really, really late but HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mummies out there. Hope you had a lovely day. Mine was wonderful. I went shopping on Saturday, woke to brekkie in bed and pressies on Sunday then went out to lunch. It was perfect. The best thing of all was at the […]


Follow up for Ivy, messy houses and back to work

Yesterday we made our way back to the ENT doctor for Ivy’s follow up check up for her ears following what is now known in this house as the ‘great ear caper’. The doctor explained that Ivy has some immuno deficiency and neutropaenia and payed her a great deal of attention…finally. Now we have a plan […]


Yesterday

Yesterday was the anniversary of my brother’s death. 15 years since he died. I wonder what he would be like now. Whether we would have any kind of relationship. I wonder what my Mum did for the day, she usually cleans.


OMG, my husband the Bus Fairy!!!

Today is a VERY good day! My beautiful, amazing husband has found a way for us to be able to purchase a NEW bus!!!!! WOOHOO!  I never ever knew that I was living with my very own bus fairy. We went looking on the weekend and found the perfect bus for us. We drove it, […]


The longies are in the house!

Mum presented Ivy and Noah’s  knitted longies to me yesterday. They ARE gorgeous!
Of course, Ivy and Noah are wearing them today and look very cute as they toddle around. There is just something about handmade stuff that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Alot of love went into those pants. Thanks Mum!
Last night I […]
