So here we go….. my first Monday to Friday Working week since 2006!  We have called in the cavalry and will have the “nanny” and “him” minding the children all week.  This week’s menu plan calls for easy to prepare dinners (he will be doing the cooking) that can...

You know those days where it is raining outside and you would love nothing more than curling up with a good book?….well whilst we are dreaming that, that could possibly happen with work commitments, two busy kids and a house to clean I may as well imagine, I have...

The working week has left me surprisingly motivated.  I guess having only two days at home makes me want to make the most of it.   I’m grateful for the great outdoors…..I cant wait to take a walk or go to the park and swing to our hearts content...

We created this little place for papers etc. Although it was a HUGE improvement to the non-existent family organisation system we had in place...

“My Pigeon Pair” seem to be taking it in turns to play the role of the “Fussy Eater” in our household.  Just when one starts eating a variety of foods, the other returns to the macaroni and cream cheese diet. I have been at my absolute wits end.  Well...

I don’t usually write about “him”.  My amazing husband.  But this weekend of course is different.  It’s a weekend to take time to cherish the Father’s in our lives. Where do I start.  Maybe with what he is not as sometimes that is more important. He does not follow...

It may not be Valentine’s Day butyou don’t need to wait for a special occasion to start spreading some love! How about a cute lunchbox note in your child’s lunch box today! It may be a simple smiley face on a post it note (thanks Mum!)or a crazy joke or if...
