Locked in love & Woo Hoo!
William, Tiesha, Annabelle and I went up to Mt Keira lookout. We were admiring the gorgeous view when I looked down and saw this lock attached to the safety fence. It says “Jo & Ev, Locked in love forever, 16 – 3 – 2007”. How sweet is tha...
Sleepy time
I was looking through some photo discs yesterday and found a whole heap of Annabelle when she was a few months old. It really doesn’t feel that long ago that she was a baby and now she’s two and a half! Bill and I have been complaining that Annab...
If rabbits could fly
Friday at TAFE, we were shown how to use the selection tool in Photoshop and as an exercise we had to select and cut something out of one photo and paste it into another photo. I COULD have cut out a butterfly and placed it on a flower. I COULD have ...
Day at Taronga Zoo
William, Madeline (and her friend), Giorgia, Annabelle and I went to the zoo with my sister and niece, and my girlfriend and her two kids. Unfortunately Bill and Tiesha couldn’t join us because of other commitments. It was an early start because we...
Let’s go to the museum
Last year, it was the Premier’s Reading Challenge. This year, Giorgia has brought home a note telling us all about the Premier’s Adventure Challenge which is all about encouraging kids to visit art galleries and museums. Personally I think this i...
Style me up!
Christmas is coming, people! I’ve been pretty quiet on this front because I’ve been pre-occupied with other family commitments but I have been starting to write my lists, and checking them twice! I’ve put some toys on layby (lay-away) for Giorg...
Vampire boy!
My girls are natural posers. They love being in front of the camera so I always have lots of photos of them to share. But William is camera shy and doesn’t usually let me take photos of him….until I threatened to put his naked baby photos on Face...
Someone stole our car!
Yesterday started out like every other morning. I stumble out of bed, head into the lounge room and start opening the curtains to let some light in. Only when I looked out the window, I noticed that our car was not parked in the driveway where it wa...
Tat Your Tot (+ giveaway!)
Keep reading to find out how you can win a Tat Your Tot sample! I think every mother’s worst nightmare is losing her child in a crowd. I’m sure we’ve all dressed our kids in bright coloured clothing or written our mobile numbers in permanent m...
One more?
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me when #6 is coming! We were chatting about this yesterday at my Tupperware Party, which was done by my friend Jadey (if you want to host a Tupperware party, get in touch with her. She’s fab!) Lots of...
Grandmother’s got a potty mouth!
Even though we live not far from my maternal grandmother, whom we call Babcia (Polish), we don’t see her very often. I had organised with her to bring Bill and kids to visit this afternoon, telling her we’d be there around 4pm. All seven of us wa...
I survived Girl Guides camp
I wish I was a Girl Guide when I was a kid. This weekend, Giorgia and I participated in a Mother/Daughter camp. Out of the 11 mums that stayed overnight, there were only 3 of us that were never Guides. The others told us about the fun times they had ...
Aww, doggie!
A few online buddies requested to see my “new do” so I took some photos and started uploading them to Facebook. I had this photo open on my laptop when Annabelle walked past. She back tracked, pointed at the screen and said “awwww, doggie!” W...
CAN’T wear the same shoes!
“You get different ones.” “No, you get different ones!” “But I like these!” “So do I!” This went on for half an hour and because neither Tiesha or I planned to back down, we figured we just wouldn’t wear them on the same day LOL T...
…and back again to Nan Tien
OK, so I did say I was going to spare you by not posting all of the photos I took but I did want to share some more with you…. Technorati Tags: nan tien,photos,berkeley...
I hate waiting!
So we had to be at the hospital at 7am this morning. After Tiesha got settled in, I was promptly told that I can now go home and that I will get a phone call when Tiesha is out of recovery or if I don’t hear anything before then, to call at 11.30am...
Portraits and asbestos
Giorgia’s school organised a fundraising event where you could purchase a 10 x 13 colour or B&W portrait for just $10, framed. I was considering having us all dresses in jeans and white shirts. I like family portraits where everyone is dressed ...
Mum’s snap happy again
The problem with being the 2 youngest kids is that, when mum wants to take photos, they have no excuse. They can’t take off shopping or out with friends or wherever LOL Technorati Tags: giorgia,annabelle,photos...
