My favourite time of the day
I love 3pm. Ethan has just arrived home, he had fun on the bus and is happy to see me (or the plate of afternoon tea, who really knows?). We sit down while he eats and talk about our day and then he does his …

Just for PNUTS
There are some people out there that don’t have a twitter account :::::GASP::::: I know. The accepted colloquialism for these souls is PNUT, or Person Not Using Twitter. They aren’t required to wear badges yet so you may not be aware when you are face to face …
ChewsDay
I have lost my cooking mojo. It disappeared when I was pregnant and was seasick 24hrs a day, it hid after the miscarriage when I straight up didn’t want to do ANYTHING, and it hasn’t returned. But, tonight at approximately 5pm, when I should have been cooking dinner, I looked at the nasty-ass brown bananas that I had been saving for Chef Dave to bake up – and my mojo returned (somewhat) in the form of banana choc chip muffins. It was almost surely my mojo or the fact that I couldn’t stand those bananas hanging around any longer.
Whatever the Weather

Ethan Reads……..
Bears in the Night.
This was one of my faves when I was little. Tonight Ethan picked it off the shelf and read it beautifully. Amaze.
Good Day Stats

The Little Rascals
Ethan’s soccer team are ruling the competition this year, they have won every game so far! The talent in this team is insane, some of the boys look like they came out of the womb kicking goals. Ethan was awarded Player of the Day on Saturday which was special as it was their hardest game yet and he scored 2 of their 4 goals. About his long sleeve shirt he is wearing under his soccer shirt…..he wouldn’t take it off, told me it made him run faster!
Monday. It’s over
After my most marvelous day yesterday Monday morning came way too quickly. So quickly in fact that I remembered about an 8.20am physio appointment while I was in the shower. No problem, I was a little rushed but I made it. Except the appointment was …
