Hi there! Here is my annual Boys Christmas Shopping Gift Guide. I have 3 boys aged 9, 10 and 13 (but they are about to turn a year older soon!), so here are a couple of things I think would be good for them. We’ve moved past toys so it’s always…

I had such a lovely Christmas with my family in Albury at my sister’s new house. She had been working like mad to get it ready for Christmas Day! How is that pool area looking? I ate too much as usual. I drank too much (we even went the shots!).…

We’re ready to go… the Santa sacks are hanging over chairs, the Christmas carols are blaring, we have stocked the fridge with food and beer… I’ve had a spray tan, done my nails, cleaned the house… bring it on! Tonight we’re having a drink with some of my husband’s family,…

She always knows what to buy. She always buys me sheets, towels, fancy shampoo/conditioner and this year I found these goodies also tucked in to a cute make-up bag. She proudly showed me what the colour of the nail polish looked like on her toes (“I had to give it…

Just like that Christmas Day is over. We’ve been counting down for months. The boys are tired and now we get to relax. Below is a photo of Amie and I on Christmas Day. Not long after this she became ill with a violent vomiting bug. Poor thing. She was…

Yesterday was a great family day. 2 birthday’s and lovely birthday party in the park with heaps of family and friends. Aunts, great Aunts, cousins, Mum, Dad, brother… We had such a great day! Plus, the tooth fairy visited our house and check out what the boys found in their…
