Lucy’s Nursery Revealed

Jan 05

Looking back at my posts over the year, I realised that I never blogged about Lucy’s completed bedroom.

And then I couldn’t bear the thought of Lucy moving out of our bedroom, so her bedroom refurbish took place over many...

I can’t tell you the number of times I had to remove the entire cushion, take it outside and hose it clean. The food that got smooshed into the folds and flaps (and then hidden away so you couldn’t see it) was quite...

Nov 09

Every year I get to about mid-December and suddenly realise that I have forgotten my advent calendars! So I usually end up with the cheapy Woolies or Big W ones with little chocolates (usually white and crumbly), and the kids get about 3 chocs per day so they can catch up to the actual day that we should be on! This year I thought I might be organised for a change...
