The highs & lows of school holidays

July 8, 2010

As far as school holidays go, the last 10 days have been pretty reasonable.  We didn’t get to go away in the caravan, but we’ve had sleep in’s aplenty (if you count 7am as a sleep in), a few nights in the country, fun outings and even a party. Here I was thinking to myself [...]

On perhaps the coldest day yet this year we piled the whole family into the car and headed for a footy ground out in the middle of the country side for The Engineer’s under 10′s lightening premiership. While the girls were brushing up on their World Cup skills the boys were displaying their brutish strength. [...]

Earlier this week I launched my new website Autralia: Family Style.  It’s something I’ve been thinking about doing for a long time, so I’m really excited to see it come to fruition. Australia: Family Style was borne out of my own family’s love of travelling around Australia and my frustration at having to scour dozens [...]

My husband teases me that I’ll never be able to re-enter the workforce because my vocabulary has deteriorated to such a level that it would just be plain embarrassing.  It’s been on the slide for a while. Well, I’ve got news for him.  I’ve found somewhere I’d fit right in. While surfing Iinet’s website over [...]

Life comes in waves. First are the playdate and sleepover days. It seems to take forever for the next wave, the 18th’s and 21st’s to come along. Then the wedding invitations start to trickle in, before becoming an avalanche in a few years’ time. Babies start arriving and the playdates start all over again. By [...]

A day in Bank World

May 13, 2010

Did you all have a lovely mother’s day? I hope so. I got my wish of a day with no housework which was just wonderful. It took some convincing The Thinker though. He reckons he would’ve preferred to buy something than spend time in the kitchen and laundry. After some quality time with the family [...]
