The Sanofi 2011 Family Christmas Party – a day at Sea World! Complete with special entry, lunch in one of Sea World’s function rooms, a visit from Santa and gifts for all the kids. To make day the even better, the weather was pretty much perfect, there weren’t many other people at the park and [...]
These are Owen’s three Prep teacher’s presents. Each teacher has a square platter and a glass ornament. While the act of picking and choosing the gifts was enjoyable (I got to shop with just my Mum and me while finding a couple of awesome bargains!), for me the real fun bit is wrapping them all [...]
This is tree number 2 that I have put together over the last two days. We have this tree, my Adult Tree and we have a smaller tree, our Kid Tree. Normally I like both trees up but this morning, looking from the kitchen (where I’m sure I spend 99% of my waking hours) right [...]
Each year, for about the last 6 I think, The Ladies have received diaries from me. And each year I have challenged myself to find something different and a bit special to cover and personalise their books. Some years the bigger challenge is finding the diaries – month to a page, plastic protective cover and [...]
Who decides that November 30 is a great afternoon/night to create, source materials and make an Advent calendar? Just me :) And…. It’s done! Mum and I worked on it for almost three hours last night… But we are so happy with the result and it even turned out almost exactly like the picture I had in [...]
Even though it’s raining a bit (think flooding, roads closed etc etc…) in Brissy at the moment and the kids all had jeans and jackets on at daycare today, I’ve been thinking a lot about Spring and Summer. Mainly about what I’m going to wear through the warmer seasons as I’ve completely culled my wardrobe and now [...]
For Christmas, Mia and Pa bought the boys a swing set. The Ostenfeld’s bought Reuben his very own swing for little people, and these two boys have swung for miles and miles since Christmas :) Owen has got the hang of pushing himself, thankfully, so someone just needs to be Chief Reuben Pusher to keep [...]
Marc just laughed at me on Christmas Eve eve, as I was wrapping the last of the presents for the boys. I completely and totally failed this Christmas. I got sucked in to the Westfield hype, and out the window went my not-so-New-Year’s-Resolution to keep presents to a minimum. Four each, to be exact. Plus [...]
A little while ago, I told you all about what we are planning for Christmas for the boys, gift-wise this year. Well. As a pre-Christmas update, I need to tell you all that I have lost track of what presents I have and haven’t bought… I know. Shocking, isn’t it?! Especially considering I only need [...]
