Woo Hoo!  I'm featured in the first ever MumSpace newsletter.  Hi to all the new readers who found my MumSpace :) You'll soon find out how sad I really am...  I get excited over seeing my name in a newsletter, my ad on a website, or basically seeing my name anywhere...  ...

I was telling my sister about MumSpace yesterday & made a comment about the friends feature.  And I told her that "I have friends!"  She killed herself laughing... Yes, I love my sister, but why was it so funny that I had friends? When she'd picked herself up & calmed down, she ...

Every WAHM knows there are certain "Mummy Tasks" that have to be done.  You know, those tasks you do in between running your business - washing, housework, lunches, changing nappies, etc.  Depending on how much you enjoy it, you could also include spending time with the kids in this. I try ...

Really - it isn't diamonds...  I can't live without my MUG of tea in the morning...  Some mornings I need 2 to wake up properly!!!  And no, I don't drink coffee - I can't stand the stuff.  Though I do love the smell of fresh brewed coffee.  And it has ...

One thing I love about Melbourne is that after a few hot days, a cool change comes through to give respite, at least for a day or so, from the sweltering heat.

It's way too hot in Melbourne at the moment - I feel like I'm melting. We have the house closed up and fans on, and we are still boiling! Bring on the cool change...

Today, we have a cleaner come to clean the house (yay!).  Yesterday I asked the boys to tidy their toys.  They didn't do a bad job, most things are away, however they left their cardboard box train out in the middle of the loungroom floor!  The cleaner & I have ...

On Monday, I did reading at school for the first time.  Basically it involved going through readers with 14 prep kids.  It was fun, and something I plan to do regularly :)  The sad thing is there aren't enough parents around who can help out at school - many work, ...

My son, N, is obsessed with pirates - and it's starting to drive me crazy! He's made himself a hook, eye patch, sword, and all the other bits a pirate needs - including a bird.  He also puts on one boot & says he has a wooden leg I suppose there ...

Hooray!  My other blog has come over :)  Now I only need to keep a dozen... hmmm, maybe I need them in here too... *scratches head*

OK, so I'm mad - but everyone knew that already!  I have joined a site called Minti (click on the banner below to join). My Mini page is http://missiek.minti.com I suppose this could also count as my "Essential thing" for the BMN Blogging Challenge - one of the essential things for me ...

Every Friday night, when I can get there, I go dancing.  It is a lot of fun, and the best part - you don't need a partner to go.  Yes, it is ballroom dancing, but there are enough guys there who will ask you to dance, or, if you have ...

I am now the mother of a "toothless wonder".  N, aged 5, has lost his first tooth!  It was wobbly for ages, and fell out during one night last week.  We couldn't find it at first, but then we found it in his bed. We put the tooth in a glass ...

I'm jumping on the Business Mums Blogging Challenge (http://melissakhalinsky.com/blog/?cat=16). A site I would like to recommend it Oli B Designs (www.olibdesigns.com.au), especially their Chenille pants. These are fabulous. Justine sent my son a pair for his birthday and he LOVES them. For washing, we just throw them in the machine ...

I know, I'm a sad puppy, getting excited about seeing ads for my own business, but I am.  It may have something to do with the fact I'm avoiding the housework, or simply trying to block out the sounds of my kids whining "I'm hungry". My banners are now on MumSpace ...

...in my house is to draw moustaches and whiskers on little boys (and they probably aren't spelled correctly either!). N has an obsession with pirates at the moment, and his "mou" can either look like the pirate king from Pirates of Penzance, Captain Hook, or any of the pirates in his ...

Yes, you read correctly - there is only ONE MORE SLEEP until N is at school.  He starts prep tomorrow at Clayton North Primary School.  I'm not sure who is more excited. His uniform has been purchased and named.  He has new school shoes.  His drink bottle is full of water ...

Yes, that's right - N is off to school.  He was so excited this morning, and looked so grown up in his uniform.  Unfortunately our digital camera wasn't working, so you'll have to wait until we get our film developed... Tooth #2 also came out this morning - and we don't ...

OK, so a bit about my family. I have parents. Two of them, one of each, Mum & Dad. I have one grandparent still alive, my Mum's Dad (aka KG or Cage). I am the oldest of 4 kids - 1 sister & 2 brothers. My sister, J, was ...
