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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
“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 […]
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 […]
Image source We’ve been doing a LOT of de-cluttering at Chez WSDN lately. One garbage bin has not been enough for the volume of crap we’ve been chucking out. I think we need a SKIP. And that’s just for the boys rooms. I think de-cluttering is one of those activities that should be featured on […]
Image source *roars* You know it’s going to be one of those days when this sums up your mindset perfectly. *more roaring* Not five minutes ago I totally demolished a large fruit-filled hot cross bun. It had been lightly toasted in the oven and then slathered generously with butter which melted into a gooey pool of goodness, […]
Hi, I’m Sarah!
Former wild-child of the 80’s, classic rock fan and loyal friend to a particularly awesome group of people. Forever planning to write more. Fervently wishes she lived at the beach. Loves the mighty All Blacks. Rather partial to a cheeky glass of red.
