I’ve always loved cream as a colour for interiors. When I moved into my own little house some years ago, the living room was just a sea of cream with some nice little accent colours to break up the neutral. I had a cream fabric sofa, a beautiful fire place, cream tables (many of which … [Read more…]
I almost missed my Siblings post this month. I know I say it every month but it really has flown. We are seven months into our siblings team of three and their relationships change on a daily basis. Having Boo at school and the boys at home means I usually have more photos of the … [Read more…]
I hear lots of parents say they won’t get a pet for their child until they understand the work and commitment that goes into becoming a pet owner. I understand. The parents are probably trying to teach their children something and don’t want to be lumbered caring for said pet themselves. It is different here. … [Read more…]
Ahhhh the farming family. Kids running around, the mother baking. The father farming. Everyone helping. Idyllic isn’t it? It really is. However it is also hard. I try not to go to much into this side of it but for the sake of any other farmer’s wives who read my blog, I think it is … [Read more…]

Cruise trips are popular with families and it’s obvious why – they get to experience a unique travel vacation and nothing is ever the same. The package is amazing since meals and lodging are almost always included in the fare. Plus, your family can visit multiple destinations without checking in and out of hotels and … [Read more…]
When you are pregnant and eagerly anticipating the new baby, you don’t think much past those new born days. As I write this, I am thinking back to six months ago when I was in hospital, waiting for my caesarean the next day. I dreaded my first caesarean but I was so ready for this … [Read more…]
1. Fabric stain remover. Living on the farm, we avoid white clothing like the plague. School shirts tend to be white though so stain remover is your friend. If I know we are having anything tomato sauce based for dinner, I make Boo eat her tea in her vest to ensure no stains are too … [Read more…]
Potty training. It’s a Bing thing. If you ask me, it’s also a nightmare thing. I would seriously rather give birth again than potty train. It is a thankless task and we haven’t always had the best of luck with it here. To find something to spark the imaginations of little ones though, always gets … [Read more…]
