Christmas decorating each year
Each year we use the same Christmas decorations and add a little something here and there. It startles me to think that families have a new ‘theme’ each year with different colours and loads of brand new decorations. I can’t even cope when the stores do that, even though I know most of their stuff…
Weekend Rewind 67 | Dancing into the hols
The school holidays have hit, sending the those Tsunamis of mine spiralling into orbit. As I posted to Facebook, “I feel like it’s Day 1 in the Big Brother house and I’m not sure I like my flatmates.” Luckily I am one excessively prepared mumma and I managed to pull together 125 activities the kids…
Make an over-size Christmas pennant

Cute Class Gift | Elf donuts
Long time readers will know that one of our Christmas traditions is making something for every kid in the class.

Island party ideas – games, decorations, invitations, food
Every now and then I think my patience for creating kids’ parties is reaching capacity… and then a birthday rolls around and before I can stop myself I’m enthusiastically bleating, “what theme do you want for your party this year?” Well, Cappers wanted a Fiji theme, which we successfully turned into ‘island party ideas’ and then…
Party | An island party invitation
We’re on the home stretch for party season – yay! Party season extends from May (Max) through June (Badoo) into August (me) and up to October (Cappers). It’s Cappers’ birthday in a couple of days in fact! Happy birthday, darling girl. Wait a minute… Max, Badoo, me, Cappers… um, actually, my man has his birthday the day…

This follow-up post to Lottie’s Fashion Palooza has been a long time coming! Some things just keep getting pushed down the To Do list!! I didn’t want to not share this game with you, though.
