Just Being a Mum

This weekend was the big weekend of the little mans Preschool Fundraising Trivia Night.

As I am on the social committee this was a big night for us all, all the organising that goes into putting a night like this together is amazing. We have been busy for a few weeks now, making sure that we had everything ready so the night could run smoothly.

The theme for our trivia night was Getting Wiggy With It - Wear a wig, headdress, hat or crazy hair. It was a great turn out, we got 130 people to attended and I would have to say prob 110 of those people wore a wig, it

As you know my Sister works for Clean Up Australia, and they were there to see Plastiki into Sydney.

You were able to go and have a look at Plastiki and say hi to the crew that sailed it here to Sydney from San Francisco. The Little Man and I were invited to go and see it at the maritime Museum at Darling harbour. So of course we jumped at the chance, I thought that the little man would be interested to see a boat made from all recycled material. It was great, here is Plastiki’s official web site if you would like to take a look. It is still at

I know I said that I couldn’t belive it when Little Miss turned 2 last month, but I really can’t believe that the little man has turned 4. Wow!

He was so excited that he was going to turn 4, “I am a big boy now I have turned 4″

We just had a quiet one this year with family and friends, he has been lucky as he has had a couple of parties with a couple of cakes, when he actual birthday came he asked me where his cake was. He had already had 2 cakes.

He had a really great day this year, which makes up for his 3rd birthday when

I know you are all thinking, what has happened to Kim. Where is she and what is she doing.

Well it  has been a very busy couple of weeks for me and I really haven’t had a chance to scratch myself, let alone write for a blog. But I am back, I hope anyway. I have started another new adventure, I started my own home business so I have been busy working on that.

Then this week has been a bit out of the ordinary. But I will do a couple of posts tonight just to fill you in as to what has been happening to us in the last couple of

After Monday’s sleeping saga, I know that you are all wondering how we went last night and tonight with the little monster and her sleeping.

Last night was amusing, we started off with the normal not wanting to sleep. Put the little man in our bed to sleep just in case. We just carried on with the putting back into bed routine. It finally went quiet around 8.20pm, 22 times of putting her back. We breathed a sigh of relief, finally she had gone quiet.

We were sitting there thinking, we should just leave her for a few more minutes, in case she is not asleep. So this is what we did.

I know that you don’t really want to hear my problems, but maybe some one out there is having the same issues with their child as I am with mine, and we can help each other out.

It just makes me want to scream, I am sure anyone that is or has been a Mum has felt this feeling. Don’t get me wrong I love them both to death, and I wouldn’t hurt them in any way. It is just a feeling. Being a parent is hard work let me tell you.

This is what has made me so cranky

Little Miss has decided that all of a sudden we are not going

Made By Us For You

Yes I am very pleased with myself, I have finished designing and putting together our new website for my Mum and I. As I mentioned before, I was knitting like crazy and that we were going to be selling hand made items that we have made our selves.

Well I was in charge of setting up the web site and getting it all sorted. There is still a bit of tweeking here and there to be done but overall I am pleased with how it has turned out. It is still early days so I am sure there will be a bit more learning on the way.

Considering

Just wanted to wish you all a very Happy Mothers Day!

I hope that you have had or have a really great day, and get spoilt rotten.

Enjoy every minute of it!

It was my first Mothers Day with a child a preschool. What an experience that has been. I received an invitation a couple of weeks ago, asking me to come to preschool for an hour in the morning for a mothers day pampering.

Of course I wasn’t going to miss that for the world. So my husband stayed home to look after little miss while I went off to be pampered.

The little Man had a fantastic time, and so did I of course, who wouldn’t when you are about to be pampered by your nearly 4 year old son.

Ok this is how the morning paned out, we arrived and got straight

Heading towards Colds & Flu season

I can’t believe that it is not even winter yet and we already have a colds in the house.

We haven’t seen a sniffle or a runny nose for months, and as soon as the weather decides to change and get a bit colder, thats it it starts.

What is it about children and getting colds. We have train tracks coming down faces, we have sleepless nights because we can’t breath, nothing a bit of vics on the chest can’t fix. But we still have colds in the house and it isn’t even winter yet. The little man isn’t even at preschool, we are on school holidays.

This
