Happy Birthday to ME!

Today I turned 32! Oh man! 32! 

The kid were cheeky and gave me cards that said 'Happy 23rd Birthday', ha! little did they know that I actually love being 32! 

So much more confident and sure of myself in my 30's then I was in my 20's!!

They do say the 30's are the new 20's! 


It took me a couple of goes to blow out the candles, perhaps old age is catching up with me?!




BEST DAY EVER :)

Happy 13th Birthday to my 2nd born!!

My beautiful, clever and unqiue daughter turned 13.

 It seems like yesterday I was going into my fastest and easiest labor ever!

4 hrs in total! 

And she hasn't stopped being amazing since!! 

HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY LIVIA!!








Happy 14th Birthday to my 1st born!!

14 years ago my life changed. 

I became Mumma, a name I cherish.

And it all began with Callum.

6 hrs of natural labor.

I began my life's journey.  

I was enlightened.

HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY TO MY 1ST BORN!!

Homeschool Clutter!

When I first started our journey of homeschooling I never ever thought that I would end up with too many resources!!

Well in just a year and a half I have lots of stuff, I've been very lucky to have been given stuff from other homeschooling mums, purchased a few things here and  there, and of course laminated and photocopied lots of stuff.

I love to laminate lol!!

But lately its been so much of a burden to keep organised, I mean just getting through the everyday chores and keeping up with book work and homeschooling excursions leaves little time to organise the clutter. School work becomes hard work when we can't find what we need.

This week we have no excursions on. Thats right! We are staying home all day everyday :)

So I'm working on my hotspots of homeschooling clutter. And catching up the kids with their bookwork.


Before
 I chose this area at the top of the staircase as it is the dumping ground of stuff that either needs to go back to our homeschool space or gets used upstairs (as we usually do most of our school work in the dining room).  Its a combo of party stuff, computer stuff, books not being used this year, old paperwork that needs to be tossed, yep there is a theme going on here - stuff that's not really being used.

After - but still work in progress
 So after a few good hours things a looking and feeling a lot more organised. I still have to put things not being used into a more suitable place but I have to organise a few more hotspots to be able to move this stuff on :)

Fingers crossed for another successful day tomorrow :)

Home Grown :)





Finally I am enjoying the rewards of months of maintaining the veggie garden! A organic, pesticide free tomato, sun ripened on the vine.

And it was delish!! Now I just have to wait for a few to ripen at once so I am able to make a meal of them!!
