Silly Season Greeting For 2009

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

This morning, I found myself remembering a really cute Christmas episode…
I must have been about 7 or 8 years old. On Mum’s recommendation, I put out a plate of Jubilee fruit cake, a glass of milk and a carrot stick (for the reindeer of course) by the Christmas tree. I remember thinking that my mum [...]

Our Day At The Royal Show

Friday, September 11th, 2009

It just so happens that it has been many years since my last visit to the Adelaide Royal Show. (I’ve been with my hubby since 2002 and we’ve never even visited in that time–that’s how long ago.)
My son was only a few months old when it was on last year and so I thought taking [...]

Hola From The New House

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

We moved into our new place on Friday, and this is the first proper chance that I have gotten to sit down (headache-free) and catch up on all my online happenings. Mess is all around me, and it’s going to take so long to clear it all, especially when you are planning to renovate, and [...]

Ark-In-A-Box

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Late last night, my dog Arky pulled a stunt that I thought was way too adorable.
He climbed into a box that had clothes intended for a thrift shop, and he thought he’d make a bed out of it. (I didn’t notice til about 12 am, when I was on my way to bed, and I [...]

On With The Show

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

It’s been a week since my boy celebrated his first birthday, and I organised a big bash to go with it. I really pushed myself, and got caught up in all the details, some of them very fine, but it was worth it! I had a lot of fun, even during the hours leading up [...]

Christmas Spirit

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Below is a shot of the cutesie angel that I received from my TIW Kris Kringle.
Last year’s KK present looked like this:

Below is my son’s first Christmas stocking which my mum made for me. I’m really proud of how it turned out.

My mum gave me her old sewing machine so I hope to churn out [...]

It’s Been A Whole Month Already

Monday, December 15th, 2008

I really don’t like recap-type posts… I prefer to blog about separate events as they happen… but unfortunately, time does not give me the opportunity.
The Borderline Hippy store will be launched in the new year; I was planning on opening it sooner, but there have been delays with getting the shop up and running. And [...]

Six Months

Monday, September 29th, 2008

My darling son, my pride and joy, is 6 months old today.
Thank you for letting me be your mummy.

My Furry Angel Turns 6

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

As of yesterday, Arky is now six years old. I tried to make his day special for him by giving him his favourite treats and letting him feast on yummy food. He’s pictured below having a birthday nap–his little siesta for the day. I love my little doggie so much, even if I don’t get [...]

X-Ray Of Sunshine

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

I was hanging out with my boy today when the following song popped into my head. Came out of nowhere, really. Made me teary because I used to sing it often as a kid. This kind of nostalgic behaviour has happened a lot since my boy came along and it’s truly wonderful how I am [...]
