She loves to bake does our Sophie (as much as she likes to eat!). On Sunday she whipped up some ANZAC biscuits and today, after only 8 hour’s sleep (see below!), she made these car cookies… So, little Miss Sophie, despite not being ‘A1’ was up chattering till 9pm last night and was awake before […]

Tummy Time
Alice is 10 week’s old and has been so much more wakeful and active in the past week. She’s getting stronger by the day and reaching out to grab things (Daddy’s chest hairs and any hair in general is her speciality!). Here she is doing the good ‘ole turtle impression… Thought I’d look back at […]
Who wears the pants in your house?
In our house this week…. This is what happens when I leave Charlotte, Alice, my iPhone and the laundry basket alone for 5 minutes!
The way we sleep
Winter’s approaching, though you’d barely notice. Sophie was out in the paddling pool on Tuesday morning, helping me to clean all the bath toys that had found their way outside during summer and stayed there gathering dirt and cobwebs. She was home from Kindi with a little virus that reared its head Monday night with […]
Football is taking us places
Fair weather football supporters are the Lee girls. This Saturday afternoon Daddy was set to play in beautiful Eastbourne and so we tagged along. The postage stamp sized pitch is beautifully located next to the sandy dunes of Eastbourne beach. With beach, playground, football and art galleries all within a kilometre square we were easy […]
Alice’s Coos!
First week of term 2
It’s been a great first week of term 2. I’m always sad on the first day of the new term, as I really do love having the girls home over the holidays. However, it doesn’t take long (all of a day!) for me to quickly get used to having my morning’s quiet with Alice. The […]
Ugg Ugg
Warm, autumn sunshine continues to grace us this week and my twinkle toes are still happily feeling the air in a trusty pair of jandals. But it shan’t be long before I’m swapping my jandals for something warmer and my wonderful hubbie gave me permission to treat myself to a pair of Ugg boots. So […]
The day Alice arrived
11pm: ‘I think we should go now,’ I said, not really wanting to leave the comfort of my bed. The hospital was only a short distance away but I didn’t want to be in the car when the contractions got to the crawling on the floor stage. They had been coming all day. Not painful, […]
Beautiful Birthday
I try to ignore the day approaching on the calendar. I tell myself, ‘It’s just another year, no big deal.’ I don’t want the fuss and fanfare. I’d rather organise my children’s Birthdays and watch the smiles on their faces (so long as they are well behaved and very grateful for all my hard work!). […]
Back to the ‘ole routines
I sat at Oriental Parade enjoying the warm Autumn sunshine with Alice snuggled up in the sling fast asleep thinking, ‘It’s way too quiet, I want my big girls here with me!’. They went back to school and kindy this morning and I really did miss them. They were both happy to be back, but […]
Those boots were made for walking…
The girls got new boots for winter yesterday and I was green with envy! I can still remember the annual excitement of getting new shoes before heading back to school. But in ‘my day’ (I’m SO old!) we had to wear black shoes and didn’t have nearly as much choice as they do now. The […]
This week’s for keeps :)
I wish this week would never end. It’s been full of creativity, laughter, sunshine and cosy evenings. The day’s aren’t yet cold (or windy) enough to force us inside and the darker evenings are still a novelty to cosy up and enjoy. We’ve not had to run for the school bell and pack little boxed […]
Swinging on a Sunday ‘avo
What better way to spend a Sunday ‘avo than flying through the air on a giant rope swing! This was how we spent Sunday afternoon down at Worser Bay in Seatoun… Here’s a fun video…
