I’m in the newsletter…

23 02 2007

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…  My kids are also very funny, and they get up to some silly things (N is insisting his next tooth ...



I have friends!

22 02 2007

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 explained it was the way I told her about it - as if it was a big deal…  Thinking about it, it is exciting when ...



Mummy Tasks

21 02 2007

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 and get certain Mummy Tasks done each day… but it doesn’t alway happen.  However, dinner does get made every day, well almost every day…  and ...



Tea - a Mum’s best friend

20 02 2007

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 to be tea, milo just doesn’t have the same effect.

I got my MUG from Real Mums, and it is MINE!  No one ...



Gotta love a cool change

19 02 2007

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 too hot!

18 02 2007

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…



Tidying - Kiddie style…

16 02 2007

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 had a good giggle over it :)

The boys are getting better at tidying their toys away, but there is still ...



Reading at school

14 02 2007

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, or they don’t speak much English, so the teachers can’t do a roster - they take who they can get!  At the open day last ...



Grrrrr Pirates!

7 02 2007

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 are worse things he could be in to - but I have to admit, I am looking forward to this being over!



I have joined Minti…

7 02 2007

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 & my business is my social network.  Networking is one of the best ways to promote my business, helps me keep my sanity, and ...
