  • WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #104: Parent Help

    WIN: Aussie Giveaway Linkup #104: Parent Help

    Pink Poppy

    Bottoms on the mat. Eyes to me.

    Now… hands up if you’ve done parent help before?

    This week I had the chance to do my first parent help session, where all, bar four kids, read me a book. If anything, it was a great chance to see where Ella sits in relation to the rest of the class in regards to her reading.

    I also discovered that:

    • One little boy really likes Vegemite, judging by his face. Too cute!
    • The entire story of one little girl’s garden and what flowers and animals are in it. I probably didn’t quite need that much detail.
    • That I’m meant to also read to my own child, because “every other mum reads to their own kid and you didn’t read to me.’’. Boy, was I in trouble!

    Have you done parent help yet? What was your experience?

    Now, onto some winning reading.

    Holly2

    Following on from Holly’s misinterpretation of song lyrics, this week it has just been words in general. Here were just a few:

    • She called her singlet a “Cinderella”. They sound (sort of) similar.
    • While eating corn on the cob, she asked if she too could have some “unicorn”
    • Her favourite band at the moment is “Un Direction”. (Actually, the second word sounds slightly different but far too rude for this blog!)

    Do your kids have funny words for things?

    Now, onto some winning words – complete with links!

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #102: Shake Your Booty

    Holly dancing

    Some of the wins from this week:

    • Well, not quite a win but… Two-year-old Holly was happily singing Shake Your Booty this morning. Not really a song I want my two-year-old to be singing, to be honest. Then I listened more closely to the lyrics and realised her version was actually “Shake your boobie’’. Oh, the horror! A littler misinterpretation there, maybe.
    • My little mum business has just gone from one dream project (seafood) to another dream job (food and wine). I may just gain a few pounds over the next few months.
    • Ella had to talk about her favourite book as part of prep news this week. She chose to talk about – and take – her TWO favourite books: The Faraway Tree Collection and The Magic Wishing Chair Collection. The teacher was just a tad shocked at the mere size of the books. And my back was just a bit shocked at how heavy they were carrying them into school. Next time we might opt for Fox in Sox.

    I’d love to hear what song lyrics you’ve heard misinterpreted?

    Now, onto some other ways to win…

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #100: The 100th edition

    Holly

    Evening all. I’m popping in quickly tonight to upload the Aussie Giveaway Linky. I’m part way through writing a chapter for the bio novel and am eager to keep going. However, first I really should let you in on our wins for the week:

    • This is our 100th Aussie Giveaway Linkup. Completely shocked by that. Where did the last 100 Saturdays/Sundays go?
    • Two-year-old Holly has developed the occasional bit of attitude, with her favourite word being “anythink’’. Translated, this means “nothing’’. If I ask her: “Holly, what are you up to?’’, she throws a sharp “anythink’’ back, complete with adult-like scoffing and furrowed brow. It is so hard to keep a straight face. (PS. I do have a cute and funny video I need to share of her soon too!).
    • I’ve booked The Bloke in The Shed in for a weekend away in Melbourne to watch Collingwood v Carlton for his birthday. That’s definitely a win – whether the Pies win or lose. I’ve just got to remember to turn the phone off before the game.
    • Apparently Holly loves me more than her dad. Me: “Why don’t you love Dad?’’. Holly: “Because he’s a naughty ratbag.’’ Me: “Why is he a naughty ratbag?’’ Holly: “Because he fights on me’’. Translated: Julian tickles her and does general annoying dad things. Just wait till she’s old enough to understand dad jokes.

    What were your wins this week?

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #99: Mother’s Day edition

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #99: Mother’s Day edition

    Cinderella costume

    Highlights from Mother’s Day week (I know it’s a day, but I’m making it into a week!):

    • I got caught eating Ella’s Humpty Dumpty Easter egg. Come on, I was desperate for chocolate. To avoid the tears, I promised any Mother’s Day chocolates I received she could share. The next morning, while telling her how I couldn’t wait for Sunday’s sleep in, breakfast in bed and dinner out, Ella piped up with: “And don’t forget, you’ve got to give me some of your chocolate fudge we bought you?’’ She then turned pale. “Oops, I wasn’t meant to tell you that, was I?’’. Ah, probably not!
    • And how cute is Cinderella, all dressed up and ready for the ball… or the disco, at least. Her first school disco and a handbag full of money ($5 can look like a lot when it comes in change).

    Do you already know what you’re getting for Mother’s Day? Are your kids good with keeping secrets?

  • Aussie Giveaway Linkup #98: Giggles with Jimmy

    Aussie Giveaway Linkup #98: Giggles with Jimmy

    Jimmy Giggle 3

    Highlights from our winning week were:

    • Ella got to meet one of her favourite ABC4 Kids stars Jimmy Giggle and give him three drawings at Agfest today. Holly, on the other hand, was just disappointed Hoot wasn’t there.
    • When we got home, Ella was confused as to how Jimmy could fly back to Sydney so quickly to be on the TV. “The plane must have been fast, Mum’’.
    • The Three Li’l Princesses Facebook page has got some mums a little hot and bothered tonight, because of posting the above photo. It’s fair to say, there were some mums at Agfest today too who were far more excited about seeing Jimmy than their children were.

    Here’s some more Jimmy for you…

    Jimmy Giggle 2

    Are you – or your kids – Jimmy Giggle fans?
