Wrigglebot has discovered a Big Bird puppet that used to be Husband’s. I thought he would just play with it for an hour or so and then be over it. Not to be. Not only did he insist that I have it on my hand the entire day, he would talk to Big Bird, read [...]
Okay by now most of you know that I am not the most domestic person in the world and this is why. The other day my floors got to the point that I just couldn’t ignore them anymore. Wrigglebot had brought so much sand inside that when you walked your feet crunched and you dare [...]
Husband and I both like to consider ourselves creative and so we were naturally excited for the time when Wrigglebot’s imagination would be unleashed and it has finally happened. He stands on the arm of the chair surfing and then a wave comes and knocks him over and then he needs to take his surfboard [...]
Sometimes it seems like we get so busy with other people and work and just stuff that we don’t get time just with our little family. Well, we had a family outing. Husband had just finished a big job so the late nights and weekend work was over (until the next one) so we gathered [...]
I was talking to a friend once who had recently started his own Bobcat business. I asked him how he was finding it and he said; ‘You know, I quite enjoy it, and any time I’m not so sure if this was the right move I just look around as I am driving from job [...]
Last night I got dressed up (wore that little black dress that I have had no occasion to wear post baby), left Wrigglebot with his grandmother and went to see Miss Saigon. It is always an interesting experience seeing live theatre and I have seen most of the big musicals; Phantom, Les Miserables etc. I [...]
Soon I will have my first Mother’s Day. I tried to claim last Mother’s Day as I was six months pregnant but to no avail, it didn’t earn me present and pampering status. This Mother’s Day should be good, Mr Wrigglebot is still too young to present me with paintings and toilet roll holders and [...]
How great are long weekends? (Definately a rhetorical question because the answer is so obvious) (sorry that is the English teacher coming out in me.) We had beautiful weather and so it seemed like the perfect time to get some of those outside jobs done. We are doing a play area for Mr. [...]
No matter how much you plan, read and educate yourself; no matter how capable and proficient you are in the workforce the advent of Mr Wrigglebot changes everything. I was a good teacher. I could control a room of 25 hormonal teenages but one little baby had the power to reduce me to a [...]
My sister laughed but I was crushed. We had hiked up this mountain, okay it was really just a large hill, and I was breathing hard but trying not to show it, ‘Kathryn,’ I said, ‘At the age of 23 I’ve just realised that I’m not going to be famous.’ Then her laughter came.
‘No really,’ [...]
