One great thing about the street I now live in is how approachable my neighbours have been. In a few months, I’ve met half of them already. Strangely (as I do keep to myself a lot–says the lady with the public blog, hehe), I’m really enjoying meeting them all.
It’s certainly a different dynamic in [...]
Yes, it seemed to be the right thing to do: build my son his first house out of the cardboard box that our new dishwasher came in. It was the perfect size for my son’s little abode.
The box had been sitting under the pergola in the backyard for the last couple of weeks and it [...]
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 [...]
Just over two months ago, I wrote that we were looking to move house. It ended up taking us about 6 weeks to get our house ready for sale, and then we were lucky to get a buyer after the first open inspection. We were a bit shocked at how quickly it happened, and resigned [...]
Both times that I tuned into Oprah last week, I learnt about the lil young singing sensation from the Philippines named Charice. She sang Whitney’s ‘I have Nothing’ on the show and holy–what a voice. She has made me cry everytime I have heard her sing. What a big fat sap I am! Hehe.
Anyway, do [...]
Although the title sounds like we have been evicted or something similar, hehe, it is rather that we have decided that it’s time to upgrade the family home, and we’re putting our house on the market. (We’ve signed already, but we need a few weeks to make our house a bit prettier.)
Yikes!
Our priority is to [...]
I made these for our Easter lunch today.
I made a second cake last week, using a recipe from the Low To No Additives book.
It was a yoghurt, lemon and lime number and it was pretty tasty. (I know that I said I was off dairy, but I now have it in moderation; my son’s food sensitivities have calmed down it seems–although I [...]
Yesterday…wait for it… I made a cake!
So what, huh? It’s a big deal for me because I cannot remember the last time I made one… it must’ve been when I was a teenager, and even then I would have been helping my mum or it was probably one of those ghastly packet mix cakes.
I’ve had [...]
Well, in an effort to try and better manage my time these days, I created a personal timetable for weekdays only. I don’t have the best track record for things like this but I’m going to do my best to stick to it. (I’m usually up at 7:30am but find that I’m not really starting [...]
