  • WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #57: Tickling funny bones

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #57: Tickling funny bones

    The Hive Restaurant

    Winning words from this week included:

    • The Bloke in The Shed discovered Li’l Holly crying, with a sheepish-looking Ella nearby. The Bloke in The Shed: “Did you hurt her, Ella?’’ Ella: “No, she hit me first, then I hit her, then she hit me, so I hit her again.’’ Sisterly love. Got to love it.
    • After eating four mains and four desserts at the incredible The Hive Kitchen in the Crown Complex, Melbourne last Monday night I confessed to the chef: “I can’t eat all of that last one. I’m so sorry. I’m so full.’’ Then another dessert came out – and I couldn’t resist.
    • Both girls have been quite unwell with colds and high temperatures this week. At the height of Ella’s sickness, she asked: “Mum, could you please make me a `get well’ card?” How could I refuse?
    • Ella: “I’m going to be on stage when I’m 16 and I’m going to be a mum when I’m 77’’. There’s no point rushing these things, is there.

  • WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #56: Melbourne edition

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #56: Melbourne edition

    Sisters at The Nut, Stanley

    Wins of the week will be/were:

    • Flying into Melbourne today for what will be a whirlwind trip this time. I haven’t seen The Bloke in The Shed for three days, but will get to see him for 10 minutes at the Melbourne airport when he boards the plane I’m disembarking. It’s been a crazy week here.
    • Ella preparing herself for motherhood. She was growling at Li’l Holly for something or other. I told her it wasn’t her job to growl at her sister. Her response: “But I’m just practising to be a mum. I’m getting really good at it’’.
    • I have had too much of the glass of wine I’m drinking and therefore am forfeiting coming up with three things this week!

  • WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #55: DisneyLand edition

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #55: DisneyLand edition

    Looking out window

    This week’s wins were:

    • Yesterday after swimming, we went to DisneyLand – via the iPad and a few YouTube clips. Ella said her favourite part was “the rollercoaster ride, where I had to remain seated at all times and keep my arms in the carriage’’. Cheaper than the real thing and far less scary.
    • I put a little note above my desk this week to remind myself to start looking into ways to monetise this blog a little, while still keeping it entertaining and informative for readers. Then, I kid you not, without me even trying I had two offers within the space of 24 hours. The power of positive thinking, hey. My brain now hurts a little after having spent the past day channelling BMW to give me a car. So far, no luck.
    • Having a play date on Friday with my cousin, which are just as much about the parents as the kids, if we’re honest with ourselves. As children, we used to sit on a red couch at our Nan’s and pretend it was a bus. Oh, the adventures we used to go on. Spookily, our two daughters – aged four – spent the entire morning creating a “bus’’ in the playroom to go on their own adventures. It’s funny how history repeats.

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #54: The on-the-nose edition

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #54: The on-the-nose edition

    father and daughter

    So, my wins of the week were:

    • Childcare has had cases of chicken pox, school sores and gastro within the space of a fortnight. On Friday we all woke up with sniffly noses. There’s kind of relief in that.
    • More exciting news on the business side of things. We’ve brought on board the fabulous MissMel, who is behind the inspiring Proud To Be Me events. The three-state events are very much all about that – women being proud of who they are. I could write an entire post – or even a series of posts – on that topic! Make sure to follow the event on Facebook and Twitter.
    • During our trip home from Stanley last weekend, Julian asked what the big bales covered in plastic in the paddocks were. Me: “Silage’’. Julian: “Umm, what’s silage?’’ I decided I could tell him the truth or I could have some fun. I decided to have some fun and so told him it was hay mixed with cow poo to fertilise gardens. His eyes started to boggle as he kept seeing more and more bales and wondering how many gardens that was going to cover. I then forgot to tell him the truth later that night – it was my intention, promise. So the next day he went to work and announced in morning news conference that he finally discovered what silage was. His explanation was followed by quite a few sniggers. Yes, I’m a horrible wife.

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #53: Winning way edition

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #53: Winning way edition

    girl on toy computer

    Wins of the week were:

    • Ella came home from vacation care this week with a sock puppet she’d made. Rather impressive it was. She then told me how a lady did a puppet show for them using puppets with real people’s heads. I’ve head of sticking your hand up someone’s…. well, you know what I’m getting at. But real people? I’m not too sure about that.
    • On the business front, some new clients have come on board, including now managing the gorgeous Jody and Nicole from Stay at Home Mum: Living On One Wage. If you haven’t checked out their site yet, then you’re missing out on how to live well on a budget. Smart cookies. And they generally have recipes for those in their “late night yummies’’ on Facebook too. Unless you look at Thursday night – that late night yummy was Johnny Depp.
    • Lastly, seeing Ella grow up to be just like her mum. This week I asked her to pack up her shoes. Her response: “I can’t Mum. I’m waiting for an email to come through on some other work I have to do.’’
