Spring and the heat of renovating!
Its only been 1 month and 10 days since Spring started and I am not coping well with the heat. Its not even Summer yet. Summer starts on the 1 December and I am wondering if I have a thermostat issue. Is it just me…or is everyone feeling overheated? Are my hormones going crazy or have I just forgotten how hot a true Summer can be here in Queensland. I miss our old house in Chancellor Park. It was a lovely 3 bedroom home, with a pool. Looking back – it was very nice. Not enough room for 6 people – 4 of which are growing and need…

Parenting 101 according to Sarah
Today is the first day of term 4, which means that it is the last term for the school year. I so wish we were able to turn back time and re do the holidays. I never feel ready to get back into the school routine…and I always feel that the holidays go far too quickly. I am so not ready to get back into the school routine mode. Have I ever mentioned to you my love of the school holidays? I think that we really need a third week. That’s just my opinion, and I think its funny that I know many mums who will agree…

Do you have a goal for October?
Over the last few months we – hubby and I have been using a white board to remind ourselves of things that need doing, and then we also use the white board to nut out plans or use the white board as a place where we can ‘brain dump’ everything we have on our mind. Its been great because before we clean the board we take a photo and then download it to the computer where we can flesh out the ideas or plan the details of the situation/circumstance further. Sometimes having the information on paper or on the computer in front of us helps us – me…

Forget and do not look at yesterdays post! ….Move forward to good things and Beanie Parties
Today I woke up feeling good. What a relief! Just don’t go back to yesterday’s post when I was having a grumble about feeling out of sorts, and lets face it – I was Mrs Cranky Pants yesterday – so I don’t want you going backwards – GO Forwards! As I woke this morning from a lovely dream about our little family winning a prize home on the Gold Coast, I decided that today – I was going to be kind to myself and give myself permission to enjoy my day! Afterall, yesterday I had an ‘internal melt down’ which was a bit nasty. Yesterday was supposed to be…

Mrs Cranky Pants…!
Are you a forward thinker or a backward thinker? This post has nothing to do with bottoms. In fact its more about life and how sometimes you think you’re going in one direction, but somehow, for some reason, you end up going in another. This morning I got up on the wrong side of the bed – I have felt out of sorts all day, and I hate feeling like that. Nothing’s wrong – its just that 24 hours – you know the ’24 hours’ that happens from time to time – when you feel a little ‘out of sorts’? All day I have been reminding myself –…

The Tooth fairy is coming! The Tooth fairy is coming!
Today we hit a milestone. Chanel lost her very first tooth today, and I think that she pulled on it before the tooth was ready to come out. She has been a little desperate over the last few days for money…apparently she has a list of things she is saving for and it seems that she is happy to sell her teeth for them. After the tooth ‘came out’ Chanel tried to to convince me that the rate for the tooth has gone up. She thinks that the Tooth fairy has come into some money and the first tooth should get her $20. Let me just say…

Thank God Puberty Blues is almost over!
I am a mum of three daughters…one of them is just over 3 years off being a teenager. So when I heard that Michelle Mitchell, who is the sister of a friend from school, wrote a book called ‘What Teenage Girls Don’t Tell their Parents’, I shuddered at the thought that my baby girl, was going to become secretive and not tell me her most inner thoughts and plans, when she hit the teenage years. And then the show ‘Puberty Blues’ started. The ads were very explicit about the issue of teen girls, lying, sex, and basically being a royal ratbag. I was very quick to find myself changing the…
