I wasn't going to post, I thought I had given up on this blog and then I reread it. Just the other day I was sad and really so cross with myself; I had forgotten important dates but thank goodness for my blog I have them saved! I was so sad to think I couldn't remember the date of Toffee's passing and the dates Oli lost his teeth and the time Keiran got chicken pox but here I have them

I cannot believe that is is November! The sun has finally shown its face and it is feeling like Summer. I was on outside teaching today and so i enjoyed the sun with the children whilst they played in the sand and water tray. We didn't get up to any major exciting activities...I think they just enjoyed being able to ride on the bikes, dig in the sand and climb the boxes without having to duck

if this post is a ramble then I apologise! It is because I am tired....Why?Well for those who don't FB you will have missed that DH took himself off to Middlemore hospital last night with chest pains. They have been happening for a while but seem to be getting worse and this time I think they scared him. Perhaps after all; they are not indigestion. So off he went at 10.30! I was left behind

...we hopped on a plane and via Mexico and USA we traveled here to our new home. New Zealand. I had no idea what expect, what my in-laws would be like and how I would like it. We met a few friends and life started a new. So to celebrate our 10 yrs I thought I'd share a few pics. Most of the really old ones are pre digital yrs but here are a few to recap.I am so proud to be an honorary Kiwi and

Wasn't too sure what to call this post so decided to use the 2 words that I 1st thought about this week!Chicken Pox hit our home about a week ago and boy it has been a loooooooooooong week. Keiran doesn't do sicky too well and I have had a bowl full of whinge and wines but thank goodness he is almost over it and his cheeky self is almost back! I don't think he has had a terrible dose but the

Don't fall off your seats now. I know it is pretty rare now a days but I have created. 1stly a card for some wonderful friends. They have been so helpful and shower love our way. This card is a little thank you for all they do for us!Iam in love with the colours here... The new soft suade is a lovely colour ink and does the shabby/vintage look so well.

were fun and quiet and peaceful. We didn't do a whole lot but what we did do was a lota fun! The first week saw Oli loose his second front tooth and be Mr gappy. It took us quite a while to get use to his new look but it marks another stage of maturity and reminds me that my little boy just keeps growing up! Slow down Oli I cannot keep up.We went on a shopping trip which actually was quite fun!

Many a time have we joked about our fat, grumpy old cat. He was a bad tempered boy but very loving with it! He was our 1st baby and I didn't really realise how much he meant to Justin and I.We will miss his funny ways. It is quite strange with out him tonight. No meowing constantly even though food has been put out. No heavy plop onto our lap to watch a bit of TV. No friendly nips when he has had

But today I decided to once again, join the world of cyberspace.This little post on a blog I have enjoyed reading spurred me on!You know when you feel all alone and unsure- well as a mother I have experienced that feeling so many times.

Life has been busy with school and normal family routines. Oli did so well at calf club and his calf Rainbow was very well behaved. He tried so hard at the leading and he received 2 ribbons for effort and care. I was proud of his efforts and I felt that rainbow was the cutest calf; even if I was a little bias.I have not long to decide my future with scrapping and Stampin Up!! I have only a week

Wow I am so excited and honoured to be invited onto the DT for scrapping with vanessa. I sent my application in at the very last minute before we left on the big jet plane. I really didn't expect to get anywhere so kept it quite quiet. But yeeeha i did it. Oh wow I am sooo thrilled. Can you see me jumping up and down? I am now looking forward to some goodies on my doorstep when we get home. i

Out of control, sleep deprived, spoilt rotten and cold defines how the boys and me are feeling. We have arrived at Mum's and Christmas day seems such a long time ago. We had a wonderful family day with Granny and Grandad and Uncle Myles. We feasted on bruchette, crossants, hotcakes and fruit until our puku's were ready to burst. The wrapping paper was pulled off in all directions and then all the

I was going to add some of my latest pages. Back in Oct I was invited to be guest designer for SBO. After a couple of hiccups, I received my pizza box and I have finally finished some pages. I love the page "Caught", the Kit colours are stunning and the Crate paper is so easy to work with. "So very lucky" is a more simple page for me but I wanted the photo to be the focus and to reflect how

Xmas cheer! Indeed. Although I have had a blast at Puni I am rather glad the year is over and I can enjoy some family time. I didn't realise how exhausted I was until today. I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep but hey that is not what a mother gets to do. But anyway a big cheer from me because now I can mooch around for a week and not get out of my PJ's until I want to!!!!So where do I

I totally forgot to tell you about our fantastic day out at Thomas. This year Keiran was old enough to enjoy it, although the train whistle was little scary. We toddled over the road on a very warm Sunday afternoon at the beginning of the month. Our lovely friends Tracy, Robin and Aurelia joined us and we enjoyed a fun packed afternoon of train watching, pottery painting and of course the very

I have been sick, had a sick DH and kids and in amongst all that visited dear friends down in Napier.I am entered into a few competitons and very proud to say that I am currently coming first along side my dear friend Tracy, at Scrapbox.

Thank you Tracy for such a fun night on Friday. I had a ball and even got some L.O's on the go!!! My energy levels had dropped but now I'm back and scrappin' hard. We scrapped chatted, chatted some more, laughed, sung and went to bed very very late. It is always great to make new friends.

So I up loaded my photos, from the weekend, to the computer and I am so disapointed. They are not so good. I took some very quick ones as we were driving, listening in classes etc.... and they are all fuzzy!!! ooooops. I forgot to take my camera to the PJ party and well the ones of me I just hate. So anyway here are a few of my favs. I just love the one of the beer I had on our last day;siting in

A quick insight into the weekend. Mad mad mad. Thanks to the wonderful LADIES!!!!!! I met, for a wonderful weekend of laughter. Not much scrapping happened but lots of laughs and meeting new friends. Will post some pics later but had to come and say what a fun relaxing weekend I had. Sure did miss my boys but also realised it was a long over due break. All Mums should get some kid free ME

How exciting whitewith1 have started a embellie swop and this time the colour is teal (my fav colour of all time). I wasn't going to join in because I am so busy with school, kids, guest designer L.O's, money to spend .......but the colour teal just got me. Imagine a whole heap of teal goodies arriving in the post. It will be like Xmas!!! So go check out the blog, follow my link under my blog

No not kaiser or any other put on a L.O. but one you put on your finger. Justin decided it was time he put aring on my finger that meant forever( if being married wasn't forever enough). So here it is my beautiful platinum bling that goes so well with the other 2.Count down to SENZ.

Well, school will be back to normal tomorrow with ERO gone. They didn't come anywhere near me which was quite strange; but all good in my eyes. I am now onto my last term with them which will be quite sad. I have had an awesome time at Puni but I guess next year will mean being a Mum there; not a teacher.I have had a the most horrible cough this week and very little sleep. Keiran as usual has

Well tonight will be the last time I walk out of the bathroom when the boys are bathing. I know very naughty but just went to do something very quickly and you guessed it! About 2 secs after I left keiran and Oli had a tiff and Keiran ended under the water. No damage done, just a heart flutter for Mum and a big warning!!!!!!!Really finding it hard to use my guest designer RAK. just want my L.O's

just to start I must say Hi and thanks to those who are stalking me here. I have made some wonderful new friends through scrap booking and have to admit to being computer hooked. I love that I have online mates and share such a cool hobby with lovely ladies out there. I always thought chat rooms, blogs etc... were for people who have nothing better to do. Now I know they are for people who love

AGGGHHHH to Winter, I am over the rain, cold and feeling unwell. Decided to go to the doctors for myself for once. Yep the doctor said you are under the weather!! So now I'm on antibiotics and other little round things to swallow which will hopefully rid the bugs. having some days off work to get back on track. The brain is too fuzzy to teach anything.

Here is my bossy scrapper page. I enjoyed giving everyone the instructions and got even more enjoyment seeing how everybody interpreted them. I love this page and I love that Keiran now has a growing album. This page needs some more journaling, so I will have to find a way of tucking it underneath or something!! These photos are of him coming home from hospital. Still a little yellow skinned but

Just a quick update to let you all know I am now officially an artist. Don't know that I would call myself that but I am now part of the whitewith1 team. Check me out there!! It rained like you have never seen on Sun and we are very wet here. Many people had floods and the paddocks look like lakes all around. ( must get a photo).Keiran is still coughing and suffering the wet winter but I guess

What am I jumping up and down about?? I hear you say. I received some really cool, self esteem boosting news this morning but not sure I can share just yet!!! May have to wait until the end of the month!!! Will keep you all posted. I am busy with all my L.O's at the mo and struggling along withthe latest Olympic one. I love circles and as it turned out I have quite a few circle pattern papers

Well I have just signed up for a new competition with www.sketchbooknz.com so will be busy for the next 6 weeks. ( don't forget to visit the gallery to see my L.O's don't think I can put them up on here til the end) My design team entry for whitewith1 is being sent off as we speak. To add to it I am the boss on bossy scrapper with the girls and scrappingbydesign. MMMM think Justin will move out

It is all booked now and me and the little boys are on the plane to see the rellies on December 27th. We are there about 3 weeks so should give us enough time to see some of London, see all the cousins and quite a few of our good friends. Sad to leave Justin behind but I'm sure he is quietly looking forward to 3 weeks peace and quiet. Lol xxI had a bit of fun being creative and finished a page

It has been a slow start this morning with Oli not wanting to go to kindy, Keiran being Mr tantrum and Mum just plain tired and down in the dumps. Justin and I decided to organise our finances last night (a well over due activity) and boy has it hit home that the current finacial atmosphere has most definately hit our family!

I have finished my scrap competition and came 6th overall out of about 50. Quite proud of me. It has inspired me to do many more pages and to become a little addicted in fact. I now love browsing other scrappers blogs and finding more challenges to be apart of. So here are some of my comp pages and new ones I have done. Will try to add flikr to my page soon!!

Here I am setting up my blog. Not very competent at this but giving it a go. Would just love to have a pretty header and lovely moving sparkly bits but that will just have to come later. We are still home with the yukky bug and Keiran is very grizzly with it. Oli is suffering from my bruv is getting the attention syndrome and I am just wanting to get all the jobs done but it is not happeneing!!!
