Today I love my friends old and new for their encouragement and that I got a FREE Gloria Jeans coffee. I needed it! (Clearly it was not with this card!)

As you may or may not be aware, I am not very good at those 365 day projects nor am I very good at blogging about a particular thing. However, I am goo at attempting new things like those things. Today, this very book arrived on my doorstep and when I opened it I came up with my latest blogging project!!! I am going to start telling you about the things I love. Each time I blog (note I did

My baby was off to school... And my other littler baby had his first rusk! Both seemed happy but this mama was a little sad at both events.

Today we went to the markets.  Our church is still on a break until next week and so we took advantage of the morning by getting up early and going to the markets.  Asher and I had a ride on a mini fire engine and he bought a little model jet plane.  We were going to buy lemon butter as it was handmade but when we left we forgot on the way out.  I like doing things like this.

Friday night is officially family night in our house! There are the occasional nights that for some reasons we can't do it. But we will say no to most things to protect this time. It usually includes a special take out and or a trip out together. In warmer months the beach is our fave to go. We will get creative in winter I think. This time especially good for the kids to be able to spend time

When I was at primary school we had two breaks. One was "little lunch" and one was "big lunch". It made sense you have a little bit to eat at the first break and more at the second. I almost always had biscuits for morning tea and a sandwich for lunch. That's all I ate all day! I was ok with that. My little man is off to prep the week after next and I am going to have to make him lunch. Now,

After my first night of full sleep in at least 6 months we did some fun baking today! (Putting my Christmas gift to good use- the cooling trays!)

I have installed my blog to my mobile in the hopes that I will blog more often. Let's see how it goes? This is what is happening at our place today.

The year I will have a school boy. The year I will have a crawler and possibly a walker. The year I will make my kids laugh more and laugh with them.  The year I will have more date nights with my "Knight".  The year I will give knitting a VERY good go.  (Although I still intend to do loads of crocheting- and yes there is a difference.) The year I will spend more time alone

Well, I thought before the year ticked over into the next, that I should catch you all up with our goings on in case you missed anything.  This year went by in a massive blur for me.  Considering I was pregnant for nearly 8 months of it and then went into a zombie like state (which I am currently still in FYI), after Zion's birth I think that a blur of a year is ok.  Although, lots of things have

I have already decided on one New Year's Resolution for next year but as I get closer to NYE I am thinking of more and more that I really would love to do! Do you want to hear them? Well if you don't... tune out now. In no particular order... #1 Learn how to knit (I know the basics but I want to make stuff!) #2 Get more crafty (if this is possible) I want to actually purposefully make things! (

What do you do on a raining day?  Build a car of course! I know it looks like a house, but he wanted a car with a hard roof, - there is even a spoiler which you can't see here! Who says boys can't pretend! (Oh and PS... I made that blanket!)

Brad took Asher out for "Daddy and Asher Time" this afternoon.  Asher's choice.

Ok, I haven't done any in depth research on this at all but I wanna know what the go is!  When I was little I recall my friend at the time getting the day off school because her class was going to be talking about this thing called "Halloween".  I was only in year one or two at this time. (read: a long time ago).  Then skip forward to yesterday.  My son was banned from watching tv (children's

At this very moment, I am enjoying watching Asher in the play room decorating his wooden truck with chalk and dusting it off and re-decorating.  Zion is asleep and so is Brad.  It is such a gorgeous day today outdoors and we are unfortunately missing it.  Brad is unwell and I am super tired. However, I am happy.  As of yesterday our house became a wireless one.  Sort of. Well we can now use our

Ok, I have a bit of a confession, for those of you who haven't worked it out yet. I have started not one but two other blogs.  Yes a little excessive I know, but I think I have worked out my reasoning and am thinking I need to join them all somehow... maybe. One was originally just for extended family to catch up with me without reading this one and knowing EVERYTHING about me, but I recently

Yes I know it has been yet another age since I have blogged and well I am here to show you my excuse... Yes our newest family member... Zion Stephen Sing!  He is a real delight to us all. His big brother is totally smitten and apart from one small screaming session in the car before leaving to go somewhere the other night Asher hasn't complained one bit.  I am so glad this little stranger

After not being on the computer for an absolute age, (no reason, just kept up to date with FB on my phone), I once again popped it on today and have been tracking around this virtual world they call the web. Whilst, funnily enough, my darling 4 year old was making a neato spider's web from some bright purple wool in his bedroom! Oh, whilst I am here, I must thank Suzzanah once again for the

I have finally picked up my hooks again and started to make some stuff.  I started with a doily and a beanie for myself, all cause I was cold! I then made a beanie for my 3 year old niece except I used a hook that was too small so now it is for my 3 month old friend Peach, so I remade Tia another one. Although I am still unsure if this one is even big enough.  Here's hoping!  (Note the growing

I was going to title this post "Walking in the mud..." as that is how I am feeling more like.  But after having a little whine about this and that, I decided to delete the post, rename it and write something to lift me up and not allow me to wallow in the mud as I feel I have been for a few days now.  Since Sunday things haven't looked great for me, due to sickness and bad attitude.  However, I

I have 5 friends who I definately couldn't live without!  The plus 1 is my sister who, it goes without saying, I positively couldn't do without!  So there they are my 6 besties! Through the years I have had really close friends in my life and as we know, sometimes friendships drift apart and sometimes we let them go and sometimes we know we aren't meant to.  5 out of the 6 of my besties live

Nope, not Brad. Nope, not Asher. Nope, not Bump either... I have told you about this little man before, his name is Zebulon... yes my little mate Zebbie! Everytime I see him I can't help but smile, and after seeing one of his latest pics with a little toy combie van on his mummy's blog I again grinned from ear to ear!

Momentum is difficult to obtain sometimes. I am finding it more and more difficult lately.  However, recently I have discovered two things that help get me swinging!  #1 - Music. Not just any music, but loud, pumping, rock!  (Or whatever floats your boat!) Today Asher and I fully rocked out to my fave band Superchick.  He went right off, it was great! #2 - Friends. Not just any friends, but

After recently reading this amazing birth story it has inspired me to write my own.  Some of you may already know this story, others may only know parts, and some of you may know nothing so here it is... It's hard to believe that it is really almost 4 years since this event as it seems not that long ago and some of the emotion of it all still lingers to this day.  I recall having a fairly good

Thanks to Ben and Lena for the donation of their spare computer!!!  I am now able to jump on here without pain and check emails, facebook and of course - blog!

To all of you who have been able to get into my now "secret" blog, welcome.  There are many reasons as to why I have taken this step and I know its a pain to get in here so I am really glad you are still with me.  Maybe one day I will open it all up again but until then, its just us! I will try and be a little more exciting and post more for you.  As for you, I hope you leave lovely feedback so

Last week I enrolled Asher into primary school for next year.  He seems WAAY to little to be allowed to go to school, I mean he is only 3!!   When he starts he will be 4 &1/2 which isn't much better!  I cannot believe that it has been 3 and a half years since I held my tiny baby boy in my arms.  I mean I can still do that but it is one long boy now who still giggles when I tickle him and gives me

Ok so the title may have you saying, "I will be the judge of that!" and rightly so.  But I have to tell you though to be prepared to be blown away here! At the end of last year we finally, after 3 & 1/2 years of being a family, got some family photos done.  My wonderful friend Anna took these amazing photos, here is a small sample. How do you get such amazing photos? I hear you ask, well,

Joy of all joys, the rain came out this morning!!!! It truly was a glorious day!  No rain, sun came out to play and we got out of the house to go visiting!  Ahhh, just what the doctor ordered! Although not everyone was having a glorious day here in QLD, people watched their houses go underwater, a whole restaurant floated away down the Brisbane river and I know of at least one friend and her

What a lovely day I had too! Thank you to all my peeps for making it a great day - especially my sweet honey - Brad and my little man Asher! I was a bit spoilt...  I had morning and afternoon tea with friends and dinner out with Brad.  We had planned to go to Yum Cha but apparently that is lunch so we just enjoyed each others company.  (Its been a while.) As for a birthday cake - well the one

It is raining non stop here today and I have cabin fever!  So what better way to spend it than tweeking my blog.  So... what do you think?  Let me know - the good, the bad and the ugly.  I'm not 100% happy with it myself yet, but I am using the limited resources I have.  Hope your day is going well!

Raindrops on roses... well, there are plenty of those raindrops at the moment! But I am actually just on here to tell you what I got for Christmas!  My favorite smell... Léau D'Issey by Issey Miyake     & My now favorite pjs!(Would you believe I have NEVER been inside Peter Alexander before!!! - Brad went in there though!) I also got some painting things Brad and I got Big Bang Theory season

Dear Friends and Family, ... well that is how our Christmas letter started when I decided to write an email to all the family and friends we have.  Yes I am too unorganised to even send Christmas cards to our nearest and dearest.  *Sigh!* It is much easier to get on here and write to you, my fellow blog followers.  I am not sure why but I think it either has something to do with the anominity

This time of year - every year I am on the search for the perfect diary for the next year.  I have grand dreams of being organised, on top of everything and have everything sorted.  I know what sort of diary I want and so I search...  Here is the criteria: - One that opens up fully - not having to squeeze your hand in to write in it. - It has to have enough room to write stuff in  - no little

I am on forced vacation.  No, I haven't had a meltdown or stress out or gone crazy, I am simply on holidays. No husband, no son, no car, different city, same state but hundreds of miles from home.  16 hours away by car to be a little more precise. I am in Townsville for a funeral, which isn't until Monday and I am bumbling around trying to enjoy a few days break before it and then a huge drive

Hi all, just a short and sweet note to say that I still love you all but haven't been on in a while due to computer issues.  About a month ago our neighbours shed was struck by lightening which in turn fried various appliances in their house and coming back via the phone line into our house!  Hence no modem or computer.  Yes, yes I know we should get it sorted on insurance however we have a huge

Why is it so easy to say YES but so difficult to say NO? I want you to know that I love my friends and family, ALOT!  I will do almost anything for them or catch up with them if and when needed/wanted.  Lately I have been finding it really difficult to remember things, I double or even triple book and then have to let someone down.  I am sick and tired of doing this so from next week I am

My mind often drifts away with worry and day dreams but more often than not, it drifts to humourous or things you might find humourous at least. So I thought I would share some = Like... - How odd that they chose an octogone for a stop sign and and an upside down triangle for a give way.  - The way that notice boards outside of schools and churches usually have no punctuation, therefore leaving

I, like most people, do love rain!  I do, really.  I love waking up to that lovely sound, and falling asleep to it and hearing during the day... BUT just not all morning, day and night for days on end though!  When we first moved into this house we quickly discovered that our roof in our laundry leaked, which we eventually got fixed.  However, every time it rained I used to get worried about it

Ok, I am back! (Yes, again!) I have no idea where I have been really.  Although I reminded that I have had in my possession seasons 1 & 2 of Gilmore Girls which have so wonderfully been taking up my time.  I have really missed them - and to think - There are still at least another 5 or maybe 6 (I'm not sure) seasons to go.  But I will not let myself slip from the blogging world so readily again!

Oh dear what a break between posts!  Where have I been?  Well firstly my trip to Melbourne and Wodonga was great.  Was so nice to catch up even though briefly with some dear ones.  As for Monand Rob's wedding - well, it was awesome.  I was so blessed to be able to spend the couple of days before hand with Monica and her beautiful family.  I felt so embraced by these lovely people.  It was truly a

This afternoon I am hoping on a south bound plane to colder climate!  I am off to spend some quality time with one or two of my Southern Peeps and attend the wedding of my darling friend Mon!  Just me, on my own, with out the boys!  Sounds delightful doesn't it! Why then, did I have tears last night?  I think the aftermath of last weeks accident is still taking its toll on me.  I have loved

My brave little man! Yesterday, after a lovely morning tea at one of my mum's groups Asher was running along about to come inside when he tripped and we heard a huge THUD!  I saw him do it, I heard him do it and I raced to grab him and save my baby as soon as I heard the scream.  As I picked him up I knew there would be blood and all I could say when I saw it was "Call the ambulance!" Which

I finally, last Saturday did something I had been meaning to do for ages!  I taught my first crochet lesson to a couple of willing to learn gals!  Well, that's not what I have been meaning to do, I have wanted to start craft lessons/catch ups with those who want to learn.  I mean, I have learnt a stack of cool crafty things this year and I wanted to pass that knowledge on! Also, last Saturday we

I am soooo excited today I got this in the post! I have taken the challenge to stop child trafficking and want to challenge you to do the same. Every 26 seconds a child is sold or forced into the sex trade.  Every 26 seconds a new child is taken from their home and family and forced to have sex with multiple customers every night of the week.  One new child every 26 seconds!

I know you have all heard about the "Fight or Flight" thingy that people talk about as your way of dealing with things, well, I have tried and tested both.  Both seem to be good for different situations.  The fight side is very draining but it always brings out the best outcome and usually draws me closer to God.  The flight side, I have tried many times and I have done this in the form of

A quick update of highlights and then will tell you about the other "highlights". Still no major projects chosen, I do kinda have one in the pipeline that I should actually sit down and do when I get a chance. Asher is going well at kindy, we are back to no tears again.  Also, his latest thing is making up words for things such as ""boonga" and "dindle".  We recently drove past the church we

About 5 years ago I did this painting. Its a picture I had always had in my head, it's me dancing with God. ..... A few weeks ago I heard this song by a band called "Jesus Culture" for the first time, it's called "Dance With Me" : here are the lyrics. Behold You have come over the hills upon the mountainTo me, You will run. My Beloved, You've captured my heart Won't You dance with me, Oh, Lover

Not just the ordinary sort either, the type that likes to make your glands swell, send you bouts of nausea, block your ears and make your head feel like it is made of lead!A few nice things have come from it though.Yesterday when Asher and I were out and about I told him that I wasn't feeling well and asked him to pray for me.

You deserve an update at the very least, but really not much has happened... on the outer anyway.Since Asher's birthday (see previous post), I have seen my parents in law come and go, a trip to Alma Park Zoo, a church retreat (fantastic it was!), a sick hubby, tears from my boy

I just looked back at what I wrote this time last year and I actually blogged on the 2nd of June last year. See here what I wrote. At the time I was gearing up for Asher's 2nd birthday and as it so happens here I am again headed for the same thing only another year older (both he and I - and you!). I was also remembering that I was pregnant this time last year and was anticipating telling

We haven't had it for ages and I am glad to have it to fall back on. (I kinda suck at cooking a bit) However, I look around my mess I call home and wonder how I got here... the mess I see, now that is me, the toys I see and the boy throwing

This week my Five Faves are...1. Clear words! Yes finally I am getting super clear words from my (almost) 3 year old son!!! Sentences like, "What you got?" and "You get little big tv (meaning portable dvd player) and put in cars, alright mummy!" are now gracing my ears and making me realise that my little man is not only growing up but also is becoming increasingly cheeky!!!2. Finishing projects.

What to report? Asher and I had a whole day (almost) in our pj's on Monday for no other reason than, because!Some more things have been moved around (the sewing room is slowly coming about).I have only 3 more rounds to go on my Grandma's Crochet Sampler Blanket. Eeeek! Super excited about this, but not as excited as...da da da daaa....My new nephew arrived at 6.15pm on Wednesday! Liam Joseph!!!!

As promised I have photos of the things I have made. I have also made some cute little hair pins which I will post seperately. Carrot rattle for the eagerly awaited (and now overdue) nephew...along with the ring stacker for him... hurry up little man and come out!!! The first of 3 of these (one for me and two as gifts- this was for Mandy!) A little something I learnt how to do at Brown Owls last

Moving forward in life is something we ALL have to do! I mean, we can try and live in the past, try and hold on to this moment for as long as we can, but lets face it, it won't work. I would love to hold on to every drop of the past (well not everything of course but most). I collect things that hold precious memories, even when they are not even precious themselves, ie. teeny tiny letters that

Dear Blog, (and any fans this blog may have),I am very sorry for my neglect lately. I do feel I have nothing to report but in actual fact I have been crafting up a bit of a storm! Unfortunately nothing that is actually finished yet, so no pics so far. But I promise I will definately try to document them by the end of the week.Also, by the end of the week I am hoping to have a little "creative

I haven't been on here for a while as I feel I have nothing to say really. We did a detox last week, which was good, although didn't really feel much different as I think I am now low in iron. So am very tired. Also, even though I saw no movement on the scales there must have been some improvement because I bought new jeans today and they are size 12!!! (For past few years have been in 14 then 16

As Brad and Asher were on their way out the door a few minutes ago they stopped to bring back in my mail! Eeek!!! I was sooo excited! I was too excited to take photos of the wrapping etc and immediately opened it up to find these TWO cute as a button pincushions with some cute little flower pins! Thank you sooo much Megan! I just love them both (and the pins)!

I know I have not done much decluttering lately. Crafting seems to have taken over my life, ok, well not really, but more than decluttering has. So I have gotten rid of more of the unwanted and broken toys, clothes, both mine and some of Brad's, plastic bags that were multiplying in my cupboard (recycled them), out of date food (due to getting a new (well, new to us) fridge) and a whole tribe

For a while now I have felt like there is some colour missing from our lounge room, everything is so beige and brown and well, SAFE! So, I am going to take a flying jump and throw in some colour! I am thinking of reds and green... but we'll see where I end up.What has inspired this... well Katherine from Saffron Threads has declared (yes declared it) April, to be The Month of the Cushion!So come

I had a lovely day to myself today... kinda... well it was all to myself, but I spent it visiting with 3 friends and my mum. I really did enjoy myself though!First I stopped in for a cuppa at Krystal's and catching up our week, then I went off to meet mum at the shops for morning tea and a bit of a shop. After I went home to have a sleep, but didn't actually sleep (thank you Mr Jackhammer across

I was away from the computer so this didn't get posted yesterday. I know it seems like a contradiction when we think about "Good" Friday, but upon reflection you will notice that the fact that Christ took our sins upon himself so that we could have a relationship with our Creator is a good thing! He took all our sins both past and present and future! That is amazing love! "For God demonstrates

After doing a quick look through past blogs for my 365 days to do... project, I have discovered that I have 3 extra days that I have blogged! There was the day between 071 and 072 that had no post number attached (check here), and then I doubled up on 046 and 047 with a double day (check here).WOO HOO!!! So...HAPPY 100th day to me!

I love it when my hubby pitches in to throw something out... whilst outside this afternoon he found that his old basketball (which was a bit past it anyway) had gotten all moldy after the recent rain we've had - so he threw it out! Woohoo! (Don't fret - he has another one.)Asher is loving kindy still, and as Brad came home early today (he wasn't well), he came to pick Asher up. Which of course

Isn't it inevitable that when you are on a roll in one area of your life, another area totally gets neglected. Well, at the moment my 365 days of decluttering is totally getting neglected and at this rate it will take me YEARS to complete... its harder than I thought.On the area that I am on a roll with... gifts!

It's true, I spent the last 3 days (yes 3!) away from my home, my computer and my little boy!However, it was soooo well worth it! Brad and I escaped to Melbourne on a wonderful fleeting holiday as an early anniversary celebration but also to attend our friends Nigel and Carol's wedding. Some of our highlights...Although getting up at 3:30am isn't usually fun or easy, when you are flying above the

Some of the sweetest things from today...1- For the first time ever, I saw Asher's little caring side (I mean he is lovely but this was different). He kept calling making sure his little friend Mac was with him and at one point you could hear real stress in his voice when he couldn't find him. (After which Mac's mum and I both climbed up a few levels of the playground to search for him and find

YES! My little sewing machine which has been sitting in my cupboard and not very good for fixing things was gifted to the delightful Elara and India. However was told that now Elara feels she needs a sewing desk for it. I told Kt to tell her that she has to be REALLY old like mummy to get one (as she has only gotten one herself).Asher - well he got to play with the girls and the lavender

So here are mine for this week...1- After a morning of crafting with new friends for a second month - Brown Owls are my number 1!

I soon was ok and just held my breath all day hoping that he was ok with out me.

Yesterday we had a bit of a weird thing happen and we still don't quite know how it did happen. I had been playing with Asher for ages in the lounge and Brad was on the phone to his mum. I had to go to the bathroom (sorry, but I did!) as us mums occasionally do. Whilst in there I heard Asher start crying and yelling, and I called Brad to see to him - QUICKLY! He immediately jumped off the phone

Oops yes I have been absent. I have actually checked in a few times this week but left without blogging. So maybe an update is in order... I haven't gotten rid of anything much, sad but true. I have gotten alot done though.

Today saw double success... the pot from yesterday - CLEANED! All good and don't have to throw away a perfectly good pot... although the next meal in it may taste a little burnt as the smell is still in it...might try the baking soda/vinegar thing.Second success...

After the second kitchen disaster in two days I am starting to wonder how much it is to hire a chef! Tonight I burned the bottom of one of my huge pots... due to steaming and not enough water. It is possibly a throw away... if not then I did get rid of yet another batch of junk mail, thanks to Kt coming over (she likes to read them as she doesn't get any).
