What month is this?

Now, I know I don’t get out much, but it’s still August right?
I took the girls to the Warehouse this morning to get seedlings so that I can finally get the garden in and sorted (well, half of it anyways), and there were women coming out of the shop with rolls and rolls of Xmas [...]

another day of Christmas

Today my Dad and his girlfriend come down for a few days, and the in laws come across from their town for a few days as well. So it’s Christmas continued for us! When all the presents are dealt with I can happily say that Christmas is over – Ivy’s biggest haul is normally from [...]

Merry Christmas!

Well, it’s Christmas morning – earlier than I expected to be up, but here I am all the same. I kind of misread the clock this morning, so when Ivy called out I said she could get up – turns out it was only 6, not 7… ah well!
Thankfully there are some Christmas cartoons on [...]

No more excuses

I have got to get this story written! Or at least write more on it. It’s important, which is probably part of why I’m putting it off. It’s so hard to delve into the worst parts of your life when there are other people in the room. Even though hubby knows it all, has sat [...]

I’m still enjoying it, and [...]

A nice day

It has been. Better than yesterday – all that birthday pressure is gone, I love it.
Us girls spent several hours this morning/noon around at my Mum’s house using her washing machine. It’s so good to clear some of the backlog and YAY there will be clothes to wear to work and preschool tomorrow! The repairman [...]

The Birthday

28years today. Well done me!
I remember distinctly getting to 21yrs and my mother saying that she was so glad I made it. She knew it had been tough getting there, that there had been times when it was a little touch and go for me so felt it was only fitting that she should acknowledge [...]

Before

So I got our Christmas tree today.

We have a very old (and unused for several years) tradition from when I was a kid. We’d get our tree around the time of my birthday and decorate it, and seeing as everyone is coming around for dinner tonight for said birthday I thought it would be really [...]

Woo!

Yesterday went well
I only wrote a little over 500 words but it was something, and it got me started again. I’d left off at one of those stupidly hard places to start writing, so committing myself to doing it and just getting it done no matter how crappy it felt was a big [...]
