I blame my parents

By -
I totally blame my parents for my complete lack of interest in anything *kitchen-esque*.

It all became clear when I saw this on pin interest. Clearly if they had bestowed such loveliness on my 5yr old self the world (or at least my kitchen) would have been a happier place.  ;-)


Pretty awesome huh? Makes me wanna play!

Lol, I look at stuff like that, and even though I know my boys would happily play with it - it makes me sigh with relief that I don't have girls. Although bizarrely, I like cooking! (When I feel like it)

It *is* really cool though isn't it? IKEA have a lot of kids 'roleplay' stuff including something similar (but not nearly as detailed). Where is this one from?

ha ha love Lynette's comment!

I go thru stages of LOVING cooking and then it being the bane of my life. Am always on the lookout for quick & easy 5 min one pot meals.

But I LOVE that kitchen - my Polly would have an absolute ball in there.

Very cute indeed but this type of things my parents have not bought me as well, when I was a kid. We were taught to play with our imaginations outside.

I had a toy kitchen and it did nothing to make me want to be in the kitchen now :-p

But this one is very pretty :)

Hello April 2024

By -
We have settled into our new home.  It has taken many twists and turns along the way. In August 2022, Rach moved out and now she is returning home. Which means I am renovating the tiny house to make space for my firstborn.  I can safely say I am very excited to have everyone under the roof again - I was not ready for my eldest to leave so soon. It was never the plan. Life has a way of offering second chances and restoration in way we never can imagine. Although this comes with its own set of challenges - for her and for me - I see it as an absolute win. It may be a revolving door and various permutations in the years ahead but this is almost certainly the last year all 3 kids will be under my roof. This blog was born in 2007 - when Levi was under a year old. I spent the next 8 years sharing my life and theirs right here.  I have battled to figure out what this blog now needs to be ?  Am I going to continue to write for my kids? I am not even sure they need that anymo...

Silent Tears

As I was rushing around putting kids to bed my tween, Honey, beckoned to me. 'Come here Mom, I need to talk to you.' Something in her tone slowed me down and forced me to take a breath and follow her into her bedroom. As I looked at my beautiful daughter, growing up so fast I heard these words tumble out of her mouth: 'Mom, I hate my face. I am ugly'. I cannot tell you how unprepared I was for this statement. And yet, in an instant, I remembered this time in my life; when I looked in the mirror and didnt like what I saw. I listened quietly as she went through each of her stunning features and told me what she saw. I know there is little I can say with objectivity as her mother. She wont believe me just as I didnt believe my mother. I am happy to say when she woke up this morning she was her usual cheerful self. Full of beans, energy and confidence. Not a glimmer of the sad, insecure little person I saw the previous evening. I will have to start anticipatin...

April lockdown life

By -
The weekend went by in a blur.  A blur of eating, lounging, sleeping, netflixing, occasional exercise and general malaise. I did, finally, get around to setting my kids loose to find their Easter eggs...a week later but no one really knows what day of the week or month it is anyways. There was much hilarity as the boyf took his life in his hands and pushed the girlf into the pool to celebrate Easter victory. Usually this would have him sin-binned for hours but she took it unusually well.... I spent some time online searching for ways to pivot the business I work for...in an attempt to keep my income rolling in. Sadly my rental properties are not ticking over as my tenants cannot pay rent...this will be month 2 of zero rental income for me which is terrifying..but I cannot blame them. We are all suffering at the hands of this ridiculous outbreak and can only hope that some sort of revenue generating income finds its way into our economy soon. I have started watching Outlande...
