My children tease me!
I am sitting outside in our courtyard (fancy name for the side yard) with a big mug of coffee and a plate of freshly baked muffins. I used the Nigella Lawson recipe from How to be a Domestic Goddess. I added a banana for depth of flavour. The jasmine has all but finished blooming. The [...]

Pyjamas and horsies
Last week I went to the Goodwill near work and found a gorgeous Jacquie E dress and a cute top with a Young Expressions (Kmart) label. I also found these gorgeous pyjamas for Willow. She loves them very much, but didn’t want to wear them to the birthday party today, she dressed as a pirate [...]

I want to remember this…
Sitting on the courtyard steps sharing iceblocks with the children. They ‘clink’ their iceblocks and say “Cheers!”.

Oh noes!
I love my iPod. I use it almost every day to listen to music and podcasts, in the car or using ear phones. It is a 30GB So, to say that I was frightened when I left it in my hot car and came back to what looked like a dead iPod, is an understatement. [...]

Ragdoll kitten!
A darling friend of mine got a ragdoll kitten the other day, so last night after dinner I took the children around to see her. On the way there, Willow asked how the baby kittens got out of the mummy cat’s tummy. Being an honest parent, I told her that they come out of the [...]

Twice baked potato
Tonight I am making twice baked potato, using this recipe from Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. I used a lot less seasoning, didn’t add the butter and added a tin of corn kernels. While I was waiting for the potatoes to bake for the first time, I started on a recipe for chocolate truffles. I’d fried [...]

A conversation between my children.
Willow – ‘Come on Dexie, I’m going to the toilet, wanna watch me?” Dexie – ‘Oooo’ I hear Willow giving him toilet paper to put in the toilet. This had better make toilet training easier!

Meat in my pocket.
It’s not very often I carry around meat in my pocket, but this morning before uni, I took our smaller dog Russ into Willow’s class. He is usually quite obedient and easy to control, but I thought some doggy treats would not hurt! They are doing an inquiry unit on animals, those that are pets [...]

Perhaps not my best parenting idea?
Current Mood: AlarmedWillow loves to watch me cook. While I’m keen for her to learn how to cook, this is the child who does not stop talking. I regard cooking as relaxing, almost meditative or something that needs to be done quickly – so her constant chatter damages my calm and rhythm. She has her [...]
