Pixie
So, we have a new addition to the Jarrett family. Pixie. She’s such a little sweetie. She’s scared of everything. She ate the kitty litter when we put her in it. I think she will fit in just fine.
Day to day
One Little Word 2014: GO
The little voice in my head this year is going to keep shouting at me: GO! I tend to over-think things, put things off, procrastinate, etc etc (read: lazy). This year I am going to just get up, and go do stuff! I’m going to try and limit my use of ‘in a minute’ and …
Christmas 2013
I blinked and it was over. Gone. So much effort is put in to just one day of the year. It’s a shame that we don’t put as much effort in to every day of the year. Honestly, Christmas does bring out the best in me. I’m more tolerant when things aren’t going my way, …
Halloween
I know, I’m all out of whack and I’m out of order, but I just came across this years Halloween photos. Luke wanted to be an Army man this year. It’s not the first year he has wanted to go as one. He really wanted me to make him camo pants and a bulletproof vest. …
Happy 6th Birthday Amy!
It only feels like yesterday when I was posting these photos from Amy’s 5th birthday. This year we had a party with some of Amy’s kindy friends and her cousins. We had the ponies again and the kids loved them! The donut game was a huge success and the winners were the kids who kept …
She amazes me.
Katie-bear. Our eldest who turned 12 this year. She is the quiet introvert with hardly a photo taken without a scowl on her face nowadays. Kate can work a computer like it’s nobody’s business. Touch type faster than me! She found Photoshop on the computer the kids inherited. She’s been having a bit of a …
Some more Bazaar.
I created these layouts when I was at the Storyboard Kit’s retreat. I think you can tell. I was surrounded by the most amazing scrapbookers, so it is easy to draw inspiration from them. These layouts were for the Blue Bazaar April Kit. Yes, I thought the title ‘Little Pickers’ to be very funny. Oh …
No, you can’t have one.
When your kids spend a day riding ponies and playing with dachshunds, this is the type of sentence which you find yourself speaking, repeatedly. Yes, ponies and miniature horses are cute. Even those funny little sausage dogs are cute. No, you can’t have one. Why? We already have a dog and a cat… and because …
I like doing stuff.
You know, just stuff. It’s probably why I like corny things like Geocaching, scrapbooking and running around in circles and possibly getting lost. Stuff. So when I happened to come across the Family Fun in Sydney blog, I was so very super excited as now I had an easier way of finding out what stuff …
Easter Hat Parade
This is only the second Easter Hat Parade that kids have been involved in. Poor Kate has never had the pleasure. Luke was in kindy when he got to participate in his parade. This year it was Amy’s turn. We collected the sticks and got to work on the hat decorating. Needless to say, I …
