Softly, softly…

How very softly you tiptoed into my world.
Almost silently.
Only a moment you stayed,
but what an imprint your tiny footprints
have left upon my heart…

For Charlotte and her beautiful Mummy.
Happy 3rd birthday, sweetheart. Hope you are dancing with all the other angel babies today.

Sneezin’ season…one day until Spring.

There is horses flu everywhere in NSW. It started up here in the boonies, apparently. Horses all over Australia are being quarantined so as not to infect the rest of the equine community. It leads me to wonder what it would be like if you were standing next to a horse, with the flu, when he […]

You know you’re a big breasted woman when…

your almost two year old daughter comes out from rummaging in your bedroom, exclaiming, ‘Hat! Hat!’ looking like this:
Yes, that is her 21 month sized head inside one of my bra cups. That leads one to hope that she has an exceptionally large head and that I have a small bust but this is reality people and […]

Five things I have learnt today.

Filed in Daily life, babies, August 27, 2007, 11:21 pm

1. Do not feed your babies pumpkin, sweet potato and carrot mix for dinner and then take them out Father’s Day shopping the next day. That is a very bad move. Post - pumpkin - poo is bright orange and runny and will squelch out of nappies and onto the stroller. Pumpkin poo is also very […]

Baby sleep lessons 101 and the devil has blonde hair.

Filed in Daily life, Sleep deprivation, babies, children, family, twins, , 10:08 pm

At least, that is what he looked like at 4am this morning when he was in my bed trying to evict my eyeballs from their sockets. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a blue and white striped Bonds suit and the most devilish of grins, dimples included.
Why, oh why won’t my babies sleep through the night? […]

Simpsonised

With every good intention of getting the washing under control on the first full day of being at home in over a week I knuckled down and did this:

What do you think? Pretty lifelike, hey?

20 days to go, the chocolate junkies and TGIO.

Filed in Daily life, , 5:53 pm

20 days to go until we leave for (not so sunny) Queensland. It would be flooding, wouldn’t it? In our choice of destination. UGH. At least there are 20 days for it all to dry up and it WILL dry up or there is going to be trouble! Now I’ve said that, I’m not exactly […]

Poo Day, the modern cloth nappy user’s most hated of days.

Filed in Daily life, fluffy mail, August 22, 2007, 10:49 pm

Today is Poo Day. My most hated of days and probably the most disliked day for most cloth nappy users. Actually, now I think about it,most days are poo days in this home, where one child is forever on antibiotics and number 2s are frequent, to say the very least. At least she’s regular. Regularly […]
