With two boys that made their way into the world very quickly, we were pretty much on standby, suitcase packed and in the car at all times [...]

We now have a house to move into!  And we should be there by approximately the 10th December!  Hooray!
Better let the removalist people know now…
So. Marc is starting his new job on Monday. With Sanofi-Aventis.
He’s doing 2 weeks down here as handover and then is having a week off to get to Brisbane [...]

Through my addiction to numerous blogs and my friendly Google reader, I have stumbled across this Christmas gift giving idea from Dandee for the kids.  The idea you can read about in detail here, and the subsequent post is titled, Want.Need.Wear. Read. I love the idea!  So much so that we are going to try [...]

Saturday morning we decided to pack up the boys and spend the night in Canberra.  You know, just for something different :)

Marc had been talking about taking Owen to Cockington Green Gardens for ages.  Pretty much since we have been living in NSW.  So that was really the only thing that was on our Canberra [...]

Yesterday, a bunch of us braved the heat wave and took the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly.  Our little party consisted of: Michael, Lauren, Brett, Laura, Isabelle, Marc, Owen, Reuben and me.  We all made the trek in the 40 degree heat that was Saturday to spend the day at Manly, soaking up the [...]

That’s what I’m calling the ladies that I met at the library the other week.  Mainly because acquaintance sounds too formal, and friend is too familiar for only having been on one “date” so far :o)
Anyway, this morning I met my new people – Katrina and Laura – at Tunz of Fun in Castle Towers [...]

This is Reuben in my new favourite thing in the entire Baby World Of Stuff – my Bubba Moe sling!
It is so comfortable to wear and has made the arsenic hours (anywhere between 4 and 7pm) at our house almost non existent.  Today I even braved a trip to the shops wearing Reuben in the [...]

My very good friend Carla has started her own business – Quality Research Data Services.
While I’m not going to go into any detail about QRDS, I know she’s very good at what she does so please go and check out the new web site for more information.
What she really needs is a good Google search [...]

We decided to do a library trip today, as our stash needed returning and replenishing.  Marc decided that we should try one of the other libraries in our area.  Just for something different.
I’m so glad we did, for a few reasons.  The Castle Hill library has a much larger kids section than our local Rouse [...]

Nope, not a baby.  Sorry :D
I won this Peugeot Electric Salt Grinder!

My apologies for the picture quality, but I was too excited to worry about that, all I wanted to do was open it up and see if it worked!
And it does :)
