This year I got the easy job!
ner ner ner-ner ner..
When our beautiful girl left our home to spend the weekend with her father last weekend, my heart melted a little.
The next time I'd see her she would be five!
But I soon warmed to the idea of her spending her birthday away from home.
No party to plan.
No cake to bake.
No streamers to tape to my newly painted lounge room.
No sugar highs, sticky fingers everywhere,...

Easter 2014
This year Easter was done a little different than previous years.
Easter 2012 had the kids hunting for Eggs.
Easter 2013 had Nevaeh away from home and Jie and I visiting friends.
This year we all went to spend Easter with my father in Boronia.
We left on the Saturday around 10am.
We caught two buses and a train.
We got to Pop's around 2pm.
We had a bet on the horses and had pizza for tea.
Sunday morning the kids and...
My New Toy
Just before Easter I was in search of a camera, or phone with a good camera or both. I started out with a search on ebay typing in Iphone 4S because I love the quality of the photos I see on instagram with most of my friends on there owning and using them. After seeing prices I was soon avoiding the phone. Also I have always used android phones so using an Iphone for me was a bit of a daunting thought.
I looked around a little more. Searched...

My little brother. 1993.
This year back in 1993, at 4 years old, my brother found the biggest Easter egg! Wearing his bright yellow gumboots and favorite clown jumper he was the happiest boy in the world beating his two big sisters to a big golden egg! I vaguely remember but our father remembers this day as if it were yesterday. I love these special little memories. Do you remember egg hunts with your siblings? do tell...

Kids in the Kitchen
The night before last, my big boy Jiedyn cooked us hot dogs for dinner. He boiled the frankfurts, shredded the cheese, cut the buns and squeezed the sauce on the top!
Before we said grace we thanked Jie and while taking bites we gave him lots of praise.
This made Nevaeh encouraged to want to make dinner last night.
Last night she made Mini Pizza's just the way we liked them.
She spread the pizza sauce on the pizza...

♫♪ Everything is Awesome ♫♪
Good things come it 2's right?
Remember this post?
Today we crossed off a visit out of town.
We all agreed on a destination,
and we didn't let the miserable weather stop us!
We left home via Taxi to the train station.
We put money on our MyKi's and validated them.
And soon we were on our way.
Nevaeh loved looking out her window.
The kids played I spy all the way there.
Once in sunshine we walked to the cinema.
We...
I'm Stuck. Emotionally & Mentally Exhausted.
I always think about the kind of friend I want to be, the kind of sister I want to be, the kind of Aunty I want to be. I don't know if anyone else has these thoughts of wanting to make a difference, an impact on the lives in my life. But for the most part I want to make the biggest impact on my childrens lives. Daily they look to me for their needs, they fight for my attention, they cleverly do things to make me proud or laugh or I find...
