The mummy List!
Tonight for some reason I have about 10 things on my mind and I am having an issue with what I should be writing about, but I do know that I want to write about something…..so here it is – the list of whats on my mind. So here I am trying to live with purpose and not live reactively and I find myself with a huge list of things I need to do. Some of them important, some of them not so important – but none the less needing to be done. 1. Amy is going to camp next week and she is nervous about going to camp.…

Friday, your on my mind!
This is a short post due to the fact that life is happening in a very fast manner. Its Thursday afternoon and I need to make sure that the kids have completed their homework contracts for the week and that Amy, our eldest, needs to have her project done which is to go to school completed with her tomorrow. It seems that I am co-ordinating this project! I am trying to get Ames to think outside the box and come up with some of her own ways to present her poster on Meagen Nay. Our printer has decided to play up and so I need to email the information…

Eye specialists and fun in Maleny
I love spontaneous fun days. It started with some apprehension as I had to go to an eye specialist and have my optic nerves checked, apparently they appeared swollen in a recent optometrist appointment, but as it turns out, I am just one of those people who are born with thicker optic nerves! Yay for me! As we were leaving, we got hit with a bill for this eye specialist appointment. We should have asked what this appointment was going to cost however it came as a shock…$312! Yep…I know! I nearly squawked! Instead, I calmly (not calm on the inside) passed the lady my bank…

Shoulda Woulda Coulda
There are two remarkable things in life. The first is hindsight. Hindsight is a wonderful tool and sometimes painful tool too learn our life lessons, and the second is a child’s point of view. When I was a child I tried to jump into adulthood as fast as I could. I mostly enjoyed my childhood, but I wanted to grow up and be responsible and live my life – I loved the idea of independence. Although at the time, I don’t think the word independence was the word I used. I imagined my adult life a little different in terms of how it has worked out, but none the…

I concur….!
Jerry Seinfeld had the right idea when he said this quote. I would change one tiny little element though….I would say that any toddler who can walk and get into anything at all is like having a blender without a lid. Jaden is a blender with no lid…he plays strong and hard all day, well till midday when sleep time comes and then plays hard till bed time. I have often wondered since having children why God did not install a sleep button in our children. It can be incredibly difficult sometimes when your dealing with a toddler with a will just as strong as yours. It…

What did I find at the Caloundra Sunny Coast baby and kids Markets
This morning was market morning at the Caloundra Indoor Sports Centre on North Street. It was fun to roam the stalls having a look at what was available for sale. The girls were a little sad that the lady selling the Beanie kids was not there, but I reminded them that it wasn’t possible to have the same people all the time as people are busy. I am sure at some stage she will be back – fingers crossed! 🙂 So first of all I am going to skyte that I bought a couple of bargains… two pairs of shoes for Jaden – $6, a pair of size…

Putting a price on Fun!
A couple of weeks ago to buy the Myfun – Seaworld, Movieworld and Wet’n Wild tickets for the family. We haven’t done anything like that before, but we discovered yesterday that if you want to buy tickets at the gate (Movie World), you will be paying the hefty price of $79.95 for an adult for one day at the theme park, and $49.95 for children and concession tickets. Because of the cost involved for a large-ish family it made sense for us to buy the VIP MyFun Tickets – Myfun.com.au. We went to Movie world today and I learned a couple of things. I learned that Amy is…

Questions regarding Parent Teacher Interviews and report cards!
Over the holidays we received in the mail the girls school report cards. I always love getting their reports to see the comments and grades, but mostly their comments. I agreed with Bethy and Amy’s report wholeheartedly, and while I had a couple of questions relating to Bethany’s report – I was overall happy, as I feel that her learning needs are finally being considered and her learning issues at school are being catered for. I found Chanel’s report a little puzzling. While all her comments were pleasing, and her grades were good, I found that she was given a D for computers. Chanel uses the…
