My Place & Yours

11:22AM | April 27, 2010 | 13 comments

I must have the most boring keyring on the planet. There is my car key, my house key, shed key, a bottle opener that I have only used once and my Aldi Shopping Trolley Token. I hate having lots of junk on my keyring as it makes it hard to find anything and I hate [...]

On Saturday Steve and I took Aidan to the Caravan & Camping Expo held in Rosehill. It was massive and took us over 5 hours to get through it all. I wasn’t as keen as Steve to go but I bundled Aidan up, along with all his stuff and off we went. As soon as [...]

Hawkesbury Show

When I was growing up the Katherine Show (in my hometown) was always on around my birthday. It was something I looked forward to every year and I was happy to pass over my birthday money to the carnies in exchange for rides, Dagwood dogs and overpriced show bags filled with plastic crap wonderful toys. [...]

Mittens

I love Autumn, it’s by far my favourite season. I love the way the leaves change, the way the breeze is fresh and crisp on my cheeks but the sun still shines down warmly. I get to wear cardigans and Aidan gets to wear mittens and beanies. I picked up this set from Best&Less for [...]

My First Feature!

Screen shot of Calico & Co. This morning I opened my inbox to see an email from Amanada from Calico&Co. letting me know that my “Green Apple” print was featured on her blog. I was so excited. I’m usually the one who shows off other peoples goodies but it was my turn. I haven’t felt [...]

Giveaway – 4 Years of Bliss

02:25AM | April 20, 2010 | 27 comments

It all started because I was too slack to email photos to friends. Dani introduced me to the world of blogging and we were both hooked. We blogged about anything and everything. Back then the only readers we had were our families and close friends and we had to explain what a blog was. Yep, [...]

Beep Beep

Aidan is the proud owner of his first car. Sure there are no airbags, no engine, no windows and no seatbelt, but he looks cool driving it so that’s all that matters to a boy. I thought he’d be too tiny for it. That it might freak him out but in all honestly he loved [...]

My Place & Yours

This weeks theme is “Where do you Blog?“. I like to keep my desk nice and organised so every night I tidy it as everything has it’s place. I got the desk custom made and I love it. It’s nice and long as I like to spread out but also shallow in width so I [...]

Three for Me

11:15PM | April 18, 2010 | 13 comments

“Air” by Suck My Lolly Sometimes I forget to breathe, I know it sounds stupid but it’s true. I’m a worrier, a stress-head and I can’t seem to change that about myself. Maybe it’s the cancerian in me, I care too much. I get so into my thoughts, my brow furrows and I feel a [...]

Refreshed

I’m happy to present the new and improved “Danimezza” after a hard week of learning HTML, googling hundreds of tutorials and giving my tablet a serious work out… all with a baby on my lap. There are a few small things I have yet to do like reorganising my labels but that will be a [...]

Our Front Lawn

07:37PM | April 14, 2010 | 12 comments

On a whim yesterday, I pulled out the picnic blanket, threw it out onto the front lawn and plonked the baby on it. Let’s just say we both needed some fresh air. I didn’t leave him there of course, I joined him with my chicken salad roll and latest copy of Real Living magazine… I [...]

My Place & Yours

This week’s theme is “What do you see when you walk through your front door? We’re renting and the entry to the house is a bit bizarre. With the way the fences are laid out we have to enter through the laundry. Otherwise we have to go through the “front” door which is in the [...]

Geek Tweek

I’ve been doing a few behind the scenes changes to my blog for my upcoming forth blogiversary on the 20th of April, but before I go ahead and publish my small tweeks I was hoping to get some feedback from the most important people of all… YOU! I want my blog to be a place [...]
