As parents, we know there’s easy days and there’s tougher days. We all face our own individual trials, tribulations and daily challenges because well, let’s be honest, kids can be tough sometimes! After all, they are kids and they are here to teach us too! But imagine if these small, occasional, day to day struggles […]

Well, who would have thought this selfie (thanks Terri for not only doing my make up but for the lend of the ring light so I could take some selfies!!), would follow with so much drama! If you’ve ever uttered the words “why can’t everything just run smoothly for once”, you and I are on […]

Note – I have now tweaked this recipe, if you have made them before you will now see some new ingredients listed!  I was introduced to this sausage roll recipe by my Mum a few years ago now. Having always been a little suspicious of the supermarket rolls of “sausage mince” she decided to switch to […]

This kid starts prep on Monday. This hilarious, outspoken, happy-go-lucky, classic of a kid. I had been feeling ok about it. Looking forward to it actually, as she’s been a right pain in the butt lately!! Not only that, I know just how super excited she is to go to school with her sister which […]

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been almost three years since I originally wrote this blog! Our big kids Lenny and Annabelle will be going into Grade 3 this week and we just know we will feel emotional on their first day back! Not only because we will be watching them enter their new grades for […]

The best advice I can give you if you’re planning on camping with a toddler as active as mine is… Don’t do it! It’s utterly and completely exhausting!  I’ll be honest, I’m not much of a camper at the best of times. I don’t like the mayhem of packing while the kids are at your […]
