Sprung!

A little while ago I needed to put the first aid kit back under the passenger seat of our car.  While bent over tucking it securely into place something caught my eye… it was an empty chip packet.  I wondered what other little things had been tucked away out of sight so I went looking.   [...]

Look a possum!

I’m a true animal lover, I could sit and watch ants go about their day and really enjoy myself. I have rescued flies who were drowning in my dogs water bowl and although my house has a mouse infestation I refuse to poison but instead humanly trap and relocate. I [...]

Duck ponds & tampons

Luke and I went to the movies the other day so the kids spent an afternoon with Aunty Nikki.  After throughly enjoying a romantic comedy it was time to pick the kids up and relieve my sister of her babysitting duties.  The kids enjoyed them selves but it was obvious my youngest (age 5) was [...]

I watch Gladiators and I’m proud of it!

Yes it’s true, I’m standing tall and ready to shout it to all the world “I watch Gladiators.” I remember watching it with my family as a kid so naturally I would watch it now as an adult. My children love it and even my husband (who initially said no way Jose) is [...]

Dr. Phil & Dr. Daddy

Claire is home sick today so over lunch she got to watch Dr. Phil with me. My nephew (aged 3) wasn’t too keen on shutting his trap while we tried to watch and I could see Claire was getting quite annoyed. I’m used to watching TV and playing with him at the same [...]

I’m no killer!

I couldn’t do it… I just couldn’t sentence the mice in my house to death. When the pest controller rang I told him it was O.K I had the situation under control, I then rang the real estate to notify them that we won’t be needing the pest control after all. [...]

Why I am always right!

My husband suggested this title as my next blog post (a little in jest I feel) and I will indulge him.  Yes I feel I am always right but the simple truth is this: I’m a woman - of course I’m always right! Those men out there who want a long happy [...]

My little femo

My girls were talking last night about careers and life as adults when Claire (age 7) said to Natalie (age 5) “if you want to be a teacher you should get married first then be a teacher.”  Natalie asked why to which Claire explained that once you get married your last name [...]

Old lady with attitude

I love spending a little time looking at youtube having a good laugh.  The above clip I find hilarious, when I grow up (still yet to happen) I want to be like this lady.  O.K, maybe not hunched over but I certainly [...]

15 year scotch in jam jars

My husband recently finished his PhD and as a graduation gift, my mother and stepfather got him a bottle of Johnnie Walker green label.  I think all scotch whisky is disgusting even if it is aged 15 years but that’s not where’s I’m going with this.  To get back on track my [...]
