Holidays
Well, School holidays are over. I feel sad. It has been so wonderful, spending the time with our children. It has been great having Grandma and Poppa staying with us. I almost feel rested now but I could easily spend another few weeks on holidays, catching more snuggles with my babies. I miss them when […]
School Holidays: my bucket list
I do love my job. I love the constant challenge and the creativity and I love working with children. I love that my job is so social. I love it that I have to think intellectually. I love it that I constantly need to reflect on what I do, make changes and make plans. I […]

It’s a highly contagious but fairly benign illness, where tiny blistery sores develop on the hands, feet and mouth. Elora’s case is mild and our doctor didn’t […]
Cleaning the shower
I know. This is totally random and I totally need to get a life, but as a busy working mum I’m after any time savers I can find. If you’re like me the only time you really think about how much your shower needs a clean is when you are actually showering. By the time […]
Cooking
I try to make a habit of cooking lots on Sundays. I always bake for school lunches, but now that I’m working more, I try to make meals to store in the fridge and freezer, as well as getting food organized and planning the weekly menu. Menu planning is something we have done for about […]
