Well, in the spirit of the lightheartedness of yesterday (but blogger is saying this posted Monday?? Wierd, because it’s Tuesday), I think I’ll keep the theme running. Later on I’ll post something on a more ‘domestic’ level…

Quieting the monsters…or how to feed your children

Place Baby in highchair and Toddler at the table. Put bibs on […]

I had a (slightly) improved night last night, so time for something a bit lighter today.
First, I think this is funny, last night on “TV turns 50″, when Mel and Kochie first walk out onto stage, Keira looked at Mel and declared, “Big boobies!”. I swear she’s obsessed. No woman is safe from her judgement […]

Anyone out shopping for presents for girls lately would probably have noticed the addition to all the branded (Wiggles, Hi-5, Dora etc) toys and clothes.
