Good Noah - on holidays!

Poor Noah.
He has been sadly lacking in attention lately, or so he would lead anyone who will listen to his tirades,  to believe. Even though the big kids are all on school holidays and have lavished him with love.
He has been angry and agressive with everyone. Yelling, “Genza! Genza! Genza!” (the way he pronounces our […]

That’s what I am…

Early this morning, I was lying on the lounge having a snuggle with Noah. He has been feeling a little left out of late. A sweet moment between mother and son.
Until Ivy came storming into the room and smacked Noah square on the head…
“Ge orff, No - No”, she screeched, trying to pull Noah from […]

Never put candy canes on the Christmas tree and then leave the toddlers unattended…

I told the big kids to put those candy canes up high this year. I did.
I told them that any that were put at toddler height would be swiftly devoured by small, ravenous beasts. I did.

You wear one sandal (to show off your toes) and one gumboot (to splash through all the puddles)!
Of course.

A little better today…

Ivy is a bit better today and so, I am too.

Noah hasn’t deleted any email, tried to post his disgust at the lack of attention he felt he was not getting on my blog or in anyone elses comments section, therefore, I have come to the conclusion that he is feeling better about the events of […]

Early birthday gumboots.

This morning I was disorganised.
Slow to get moving and generally dragging the chain. I wanted to stay in bed. I wanted to lie in and read. I wanted to pretend that I didn’t have to get up and get the kids moving for school, the babies dressed and fed…it was a stay in your […]
