Be careful what you wish for it might just happen! For as long as I can remember I haven't been able to drive past a display village without popping in, wandering through the delightfully styled rooms, marvelling at the space, loving the design. When we moved to Port Macquarie I searched high and low but couldn't find a house I liked, so I … [Read more...]

Work or Stay at Home An Old and Ugly Debate
The age-old debate of whether to work or stay at home has reared its ugly head again thanks to American politics. Hilary Rosen, a Democratic strategist, commented that Anne Romney, wife of a GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, was not in a position to give her husband economic advice on the plight of women because she had "never worked a day … [Read more...]
Rainy Day Blues
The morning began by bailing water out of the car. It appears my car leaks. Rather substantially leaks. To the point I was heading towards cover-your-feet level flooding in the driver's side. I'm on holidays. Therefore we are now experiencing torrential rain. The two go together like strawberries and cream - Janine takes holidays, the heavens … [Read more...]
Family
"I don't know what a family is, how to define it, other than as a collection of people who bind themselves together and get weirder and weirder until no one understands them." Eddie Perfect, Comedian and Actor Family. A conglomerate of individuals melded together. Some with blood ties others conscripted in through marriage. A family is an odd thing … [Read more...]

I have edited it in PicMonkey using the Daguerreotype Frame - which did take away from the … [Read more...]

I try to do a nice photo of my Sunday lunch and manage to capture daughter's PJ's hanging on the clothesline in the background. Before I started blogging I used to be jealous of the beautiful blogs with the lovely houses and … [Read more...]

Watch a Broadway show starring someone really famous. Float in the Dead Sea. Travel the Silk Road. Party all night at the Carnaval in Rio de … [Read more...]
Best Australian Blogs 2012
Well in yet another "what the hell was I thinking" moment I've entered a blogging competition. Just me and 1023 others so it's an intimate affair. There are a number of parts to the competition. You had to pick a category - I tossed a coin and ended up in the parenting section - I'm not sure I fit neatly into any sector but given how much I write … [Read more...]
It’s Friday the 13th
Just realised today is Friday the 13th, just wondering if I should head back to bed, pull the covers over my head and only emerge when the calendar reads a more favourable date. Then again I'm not superstitious, I don't think. I have avoided walking under ladders but I reckon that's a practical thing, people working above you could drop stuff on … [Read more...]
