From a young age I can clearly remember watching Burke’s Backyard.

Now it is 7:30 Friday night and I have just switched over to Better Homes and Gardens. I guess the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree does it!

Got my girlfriends coming over tonight - Ness, Ang and my sister Vetty.

For years we were all pretty much inseperable, but lately cause everyone is at different life stages we haven’t seen much of each other so I am looking forward to seeing them.

I know that Ang and Ness regularly read my mumspace - so here’s to them. You’re late.

Saw the doctor today and got the go ahead health wise to try for a second baby! I’m absolutely petrified, but here we go!

Cause I am looking at having my second, I have been thinking lately about the best gap between siblings. And this afternoon, I had a little bit of a preview when I picked up my nephew from school, who is just over three years older than Charley.

Now I am not sure if it is just because they are cousins and don’t live together, but they get along really well and he is 6 and she ...

Well it seems that spring has sprung a week early and we spent lunchtime up at the park with Charley and Richie and had some lunch and a play. Spring is the best time of the year - not too hot, not too cold, perfect.

"I’m selling a bunch of Pokemon cards.  Why?  Because my kids sneaked them into my shopping cart while at the grocery store and I ended up buying them because I didn’t notice they were there until we got home.  How could I have possibly ...

Well this week is pre-eclamsia awareness week, so I thought that I would share my pre-eclampsia experience with you. This has also been published on Moment by Moment, which is a fantastic resource for any premmie parent. 

Charley was a surprise package that became apparent weeks after my now husband and I got engaged. Needless to say, once we found out I was pregnant, the wedding was on ...

It is about this time each year that I start to get confused. All the Fathers’s Day advertisements start up, but when exactly is Father’s Day? Any enlightenment welcome.

I think that Charley might be scared of going to the toilet. She has sat on it heaps of times, but I don’t think she has ever done anything. They are starting to toilet train a few of the kids at preschool, and she has been happily going to the toilet with them, but when I saw her doing a poo the other day and asked her if she wanted to go to the toilet ...
