Online Thrift Swap - Round 1

By -
I recently stumbled upon what I think is an awesome idea....apparently it all started with Exmi but I found out about it over at Gina's place.


Basically we all have things in our cupboards that we dont wear anymore or things that still have tags on them, you know the ones, the ‘must have’ sale item that you never wear, the jersey you bought and only wore once, the shoes that looked so amazing but, well, you never ever wear them!

You may not want those items anymore but someone else might. So I do present to you my introductory items! Ideally I am keen to swap items but if you dont have anything to swop you can make me an offer!

 

 1. Jay-Jays little flippy tiered skirt. Very cute but I may be over the acceptable age limit to be prancing around in this. Size 10. Sits on hips.


2. Mr Price - very cute little dress or can be worn over leggings etc. Made of soft stretch material. I love this but its a bit tight across my chest area so I tend to walk hunched over....not a good look! Size Medium

 3. Mr Price batwing cardi. I LOVE this but it simply drowns me. Its a size SMALL but seriously its quite roomy. I would put this at a large 36/38. Its lovely and soft and very flattering.

4. Sketchers slip-ons. Brand new. A gift from my DH when he went to London. Not my vibe though. TAKEN

Play along - pop over to EXMI and let her know you are keen and lets get swapping!

I had a similar pair of shoes and wore them to death...the rubber underneath wore off, so comfortable...tried to find a pair to replace them but could not find one's with a top section I liked.

Pity you're so much smaller than me. Good luck with your swap. PS don't think you're too old for the skirt!

Here we call them swish parties and we have one at work once a year and is attended by the elite gentry and the wealthy so I am looking forward to it - funnily enough it is in Oct Mel

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

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...
