Boxes

My hubby and I were rather shocked last night when our kids went off to bed so early! We should have known somthing was up. As you can see boxes make wonderful toys. We had two aircons installed and the big empty boxes left behind were snapped up by the kids. It kept them so

Pets

We’ve had Sally for about a month now and she has fitted in so well. (yes that is grass hanging off her lip LOL) My 7yr old daughter plays mum and cradles her in her arms a lot. Sally will be one adjusted dog. Her little personality is really shining through. Our older dog Gidget,

Break!

Living where we live you don’t tend to see a lot of people so it’s great to take time out from our chaotic lives and catch up with friends. My best friend lives nearly 40km away from me, so it’s not often we get to catch up … even though she’s closer than the nearest

Before we went to Sydney for the RWA conference we stopped off in Melbourne to stay with my hubby’s nan in Yarraville, not far from the west gate bridge. Williamstown is also nearby, which we stopped at for fish and chips and treats while we looked over the water at the city. While there, we

The joy of school holidays

We have a couple of kids for a sleepover and so we all went up to the rock. My kids had to show their friends their cubby house in the bush (when we play golf, the babysitter lets them play in the bush. Good, healthy outside fun!). Our local golf course weaves through the many
