New Books..

Finally my book arrived today from the United States. [[$30 including delivery]] I have started using GoodReads to try to motivate me to read more and although I downloaded the E-book to my puter last month I wanted my own copy. I'm glad I did because I like reading all over the house. It's not possible to read my laptop on the toilet or in the bath, but a book - Easy as! I can't wait to get my nose into this one. I have heard only...

I felt torn when on the 13th of January Matthew told me he still loved...

Homeschooling..

Defining 10am up until this point in our lives here would be one word - Sleep. With the exception of Sundays, at 10am while the rest of the world was busy Nevaeh, Jiedyn and I would all still be snug up in bed sound asleep. Today is a brand new day, day three of Jiedyn attending a school he loves, day three of making breakfasts, packing bags and filling lunchboxes.

A really neat idea!

One of the most messiest places in my house is my linen cupboard and I'm sure many of my readers know exactly what I'm talking about because we're all guilty of letting things go especially during the holiday period. But while browsing a few blogs last week I saw a really neat trick to keeping all matching bed linen on the one place.. By folding fitted sheets, doona covers, pillow cases etc. and putting it into the matching.. Ba-dah,...

It was all becoming too real!  As I made my way to the pick up zone, there he was, unable to hide his excitement, scouring the sea of faces for a familiar face. I said quitely - Jiedyn.. "MUM! I love School, I love School, I love School!" Jiedyn said jumping up and down. I really wish I had have had the video camera...
