The butterfly birthday cake
2008-03-05 11:25:00 I promised some photos so here’s one for now My baby’s birthday cake! My sister and brother-in-law picked it up for me tonight.

Disgusting!
2008-03-05 09:05:00 I just found (what I call) a dead baby bottle in the car. It USED to have milk in it. Now it’s some kind of chunky glug! Gross!
Colour-addicted child!
2008-03-04 23:47:00 Is there some type of 12 step program for people addicted to the colour pink?! As I mentioned, not only is it the baby’s 1st birthday tomorrow but it’s DD14’s 15th birthday on Friday and DS15’s 16th birthday on Sunday! Shopping for DD14 is usually easy because she LOVES the colour pink so you can bet ... More About: Child , Colour , Addicted

Butterflies on the brain!
2008-03-04 06:03:00 So, it’s the baby’s 1st birthday on Thursday and we’re having a party in the afternoon for her. I’ve mentioned before that it’s a butterfly themed party. Instead of traditional goody bags, I bought butterfly nets and filled them with candy and butterfly themed favours. I also ordered a balloon bouquet yesterday with a huge butterfly ...

Emotional eating is the problem
2008-02-29 07:47:00 I’ve struggled with my weight for many years. I have started too many diets to count. I start off full of motivation and determination but then something happens. I either get stressed out, or depressed or angry and I end up turning to food for comfort and sabotaging my diet. I was interested to read today ... More About: Problem , Eating , Emotional

Thinking ahead
2008-02-26 08:29:00 I usually give my grandparents a framed portrait of DH, myself and the babes as their Christmas gift. They don’t want anything else and as a request from my grandmother, I have done this for a couple years now. However, this year I think I might get custom printed calendars made for them and for my ... More About: Thinking , Ahead

Shopping vent
2008-02-18 01:08:00 I think I may be becoming a shopping cart snob! I was looking for gifts to buy for the baby for her birthday and I came across the perfect gift but unfortunately the website I found it on uses a not so friendly shopping cart software. Seriously, if you are planning on selling your products and/or services online, you really need to choose ecommerce software that is both user-friendly for your customers and easy for you to use as well. I’ve dealt with website owners that I’ve wanted to purchase something from, only to come to a halt because there’s a hitch in their shopping cart and they have no idea how to fix it because the tech support doesn’t offer them 24/7 support. So I end up looking elsewhere to spend my money. I’m not the most patient person and usually likes things done YESTERDAY! So if you do business online, please do your research first and use a shopping cart software that isn’t too difficult to work out, offers 24/7 support if you do... More About: Shopping , Vent
If I get sent…..
2008-02-18 00:59:00 ….one more of those stupid emails that have you looking closely on the screen for something, or doing a silly maze, or listening for something and then a scary face pops up on the screen and screams, somebody is going to pay!!! lol I’m sitting on the lounge with the laptop on my lap (duh! It’s a LAPtop) I received an email from a friend saying ‘listen closely’. I don’t have the speakers up too loud because the baby is sleeping so I put my my face closer to the screen to hear it better and of course, the scary woman pops up screaming. Scared the @#$% outta me! I nearly dropped my laptop!
Obsessed
2008-02-17 22:50:00 I have been working on the template of my new weightloss blog (link found on the left sidebar) and I got thinking about how some people get so obsessed when they are losing weight or doing body building. We had friends who were rock-climbing fanatics. It seemed every time we bumped into them in town, they had just finished shopping at the Workout World and were carrying bags and bags of fat burner powder, prohormones, and other concoctions that they planned to take in the mornings with their breakfast. Personally, I prefer to do it all naturally.
Doubling fun
2008-02-17 11:08:00 Darling Husband and I took DD12, DD7 and the baby for a walk yesterday. We walked along the lake which usually is an hour walk. DD7 wanted to take her bike. Along the way, the girls decided to “double” each other. It was fine when DD12 was doubling DD7: But probably not a great idea for ...
Back support
2008-02-17 02:18:00 I have mentioned before that my husband had injured his back about 6 years ago at work. In result of his accident, he now has 2 bulging vertebrae and suffers from intense back pain - so much so that some days he finds it difficult to even get out of bed in the morning. I’ve ...

Early Easter
2008-02-17 02:07:00 Easter Sunday is March 22 this year (which also happens to be my niece’s 1st birthday!) Because we’ve been invited to my niece’s birthday party, we’ll be having an Easter breakfast instead of Easter lunch like we usually do. I’m thinking we’ll have bacon, eggs, pancakes and potato scones, as well as fresh fruit and juice. Each Easter, ... More About: Easter , Early
Kids bedroom furniture
2008-02-15 00:15:00 I LOVE shopping for kids bedroom furniture. We have been talking recently about redecorating our girls’ bedroom. At the moment the three older girls share the biggest bedroom in the house. There is a bit of an age difference between the girls so the furniture needs to suit all three of them. I have been looking ... More About: Kids , Furniture , Bedroom
Heads down, bum up!

BTW, Happy Anniversary Darling!
2008-02-13 23:51:00 It was our 15th wedding anniversary on Feb 12. And we kinda both forgot! It wasn’t until around 2pm that I realised what date it was and said to DH “Do you know what date it is today?” We both laughed, said ‘Happy Anniversary ’ to each other and promised each other a lunch date when we ...

2008-02-13 23:49:00 Now, if it was up to me I would just take a photo of each of my children, and one with all of them together, in their school uniforms instead of spending a fortune on school photo packages that end up with most of them put in a drawer only to not see the light ...

Decluttering
2008-02-11 00:59:00 Last week I started decluttering our home. I have a list a mile long of things that I need to do and I’m slowly crossing them off - emphasise the word ’slowly’. Yesterday, I went through the baby’s toy box and cupboard to pull out the newborn toys that she doesn’t play with anymore and the ...
Staff don?t get enough training
2008-02-10 06:16:00 When I was working in retail, the company I worked for provided training for staff monthly in regards to customer service and professionalism. It seems that these days, good customer service isn’t that important anymore - well, it seems that way to a certain chain store that we went to today. The checkout operators seem ...

Bidding farewell
2008-02-10 00:48:00 My grandmother cannot speak English. She is Macedonian.

My kids asked me, the last time we went to visit my grandparents, why it takes a long time for my grandmother to ... More About: Farewell , Bidding
Extra help in weightloss?
