Floor Plan Friday: The Oasis
Again I’ve managed to do Floor Plan Friday on a Saturday! I have been occupied beyond belief with this little thing. Boy, has he been a time waster! Fun, and gorgeous, but I’ve managed to get nothing done this week! Anyway, back to the floor plan. I think this one…
A new addition to our family
This little fluff ball entered our house this week! Oh boy, he is adorable. We’ve named him Bear. He’s a Spoodle (cocker spaniel/poodle). He’s 8 weeks old and only about 10cm high – the photos make him look bigger, but really he’s just so tiny. Today we took a few…

Still on the road to somewhere
Today I am in Melbourne at St Vincent’s Hospital for another opinion and check up from a gastro doctor and a surgeon. At Easter this year I was septic again (3rd time in 12 months) so my Doctor is a little worried about this happening too often so I’m seeing…
They were the toughest days
I ran in to my old day-care-mum last week. I haven’t seen her in a while and we were chatting to each other about the kids. Her girls are all grown up and have left home (they were in high school when my boys used to be in her care).…
