For the first time in like, ever {or maybe 3 or 4 years} Dave was home from work on time to go Trick or Treating with us last Friday. I think this is possibly due to the cute factor being multiplied considerably this year by …
Finally the spring school holidays are here! One more term then we can all relax into summer, it feels like it’s been a long time coming this year right? I am quite surprised at how Ethan has finished the term; usually he slides into the …
Like millions of Aucklanders {ok thousands?} we left town and headed north for the first long weekend since winter began. The winter of The Newborn has now passed, we all survived and enjoyed the days inside sheltering from the rain and cold and getting to …
Anniversary Day has passed, as has our five days at the beach. We have swam, snorkeled, fished, skateboarded and dog-walked (having the little dogs with us has been so lovely!). We have market-ed, Op-shopped, perused the aisles of many 4 Squares and enjoyed a multitude …
