    27/5: Music for Monday…

    Source Everyone in my house had Monday-itis this morning. Except for my eldest. He was up and out the door by 6am. The only reason I know this is because our resident feline diva had been literally walking all over me since 5.30. How freaking hard is it to find a suitable spot to plonk […]

    13/5: Music for Monday…

    I thoroughly enjoyed all the pampering of yesterday but today it was back to work! You can tell when I have a day off, that’s all I’m sayin’. Image source Three loads of washing were washed and hung out, two baskets of clean clothes folded and put away, breakfast dishes sorted, kitchen benches wiped down, hard […]

    The Magic of Mothers…

    I adore this picture. It’s a mother’s love, shining pure and bright for all to see. My mother and I have had our share of ups and downs over the years although I’m glad to say they’ve mostly been ups. I think she’d agree that my teens were probably the hardest period of all, probably […]

  • 6/5: Music for Monday…

    Source: yourdailyenlightenment.files.wordpress.com via Emma on Pinterest I have this quote printed on a magnet. I’ve had it for ages. I can’t remember where I bought it (probably one of those spontaneous purchases at the cash register) but I do remember the first time I read it.  I loved this bit:  LOOSEN UP, SCREAM, CURSE THE […]

    Ghosts of holidays past…

    Just before the Ninja Boy turned 4, we decided to take a family holiday to New Zealand. Ten years had passed since our last visit and I was desperate to take my boys to see everyone back home. The decision was made to go for 12 days during the winter school holidays in July. We’d […]

    29/4: Music for Monday…

    Another Monday and the start of another week. Can you believe it’ll be May in two days?? The countdown has begun for school to start (this Wednesday, woohoo!) although I may be more excited about it than the boys are. The house will finally be mine! *cue manic laughing* Rooms will miraculously stay clean all […]

    How do you like your steak? With the fire brigade or without?

    If it wasn’t for the fact the BBQ gas bottle turned out to be empty, this episode would never have happened.   In the past we have teased the Provider about his historically bad cooking skills (in all truth, this has been a little unfair) but after last night, let me tell you, he will […]

    22/4: Music for Monday…

    Image: Channel 9 As regular readers of WSDN will already know, I am a self-professed watcher of the ‘The Voice’ on Channel 9. Last year I tuned in – mostly out of curiosity – and before I knew it, I (and the rest of the country) was hooked, ensuring my attendance in front of the […]

    There’s a light…

    “Good evening. I’m Dougal Stevenson and this is TV1 news.” As a kid growing up in 1980’s New Zealand, there were only two channels available on the box, TV1 and TV2 (highly original names, I know). There was no argument between my brother and I over which channel was the best, it was TV2 all […]

    15/4: Music for Monday…

    Image source It’s day one of school holidays round these parts and so far, we’re travelling along pretty well. For the record, there have been no fights. No yelling or whining. Just calm waters and smooth sailing so far. This state of affairs isn’t due to any superior mothering skills on my part nor is […]
