moving on.. well wayy wayy out lol

househunting sucks btw.

such a good day and its fairly remarkable that a day where both peter and I got a faceful of vomit, I had to meet people with a shirt covered in someone elses vomit and I had the scariest moment in years can be considered that but there you go!!

WE GOT A HOUSE! funnily enough its a house we applied for right at the beginning but they were looking tenants without children as it is a brand new house and 'children do damage' apparently! But lol a month and a bit extra on the market all 0f a sudden kiddies were a-ok!

Jon got horribly carsick the poor little darling made a horrible noise both peter and I turned to see what was wrong and got covered in puke and then he choked a bit on the barf and the entire time we couldn't pull over as motorway scariest thing ever and almost decided me on not getting the house as baby who is carsick and a drive to well pretty much ANYWHERE? we are hoping the incredible heat the lack of aircon etc had an impact and it was a once and only event.. *please?* though does show though he does have some of me in him lol, I used to get so badly carsick a couple of times as a kid I threw up in the gutter of my LOCAL shops and any car trip longer then 20 mins occured with a heap of towels in the boot and a bucket!!

but yayyyy new house!! the move is going to be exxy and sucky but we'll be set up soon enough and then hopefully not have to think about it again for another 3 years woot!!

mushy moment

Tis the time of year to reflect and look over the year the highs, the lows and the moments that still almost 6 months or more down the track still crack you the hell up.

And heres my conclusion: I love you guys, I love that I can go to so many blogs/posts/convos and see the joy of handmaking/creating something for the kids, that you all try so hard to better your kids lives, to live natural ethical lives and yes sometimes drag me along by my bootstraps as well. Make me think, consider what is important, what changes I can make for my children and the children elsewhere. Many of you make me want to better myself as well, to be a more traditional mum and do more baking,creating, lol and yes occasionally cleaning!

I love that so many of you believed and supported me and pushed when I wanted to say hey nah f*ck it and give up.

I love the joy and understanding that every lil milestone liam has brings not only ourselves but others because they recognise the amount of work and care that went into that little moment that happens so effortlessly in others.

I love the love you all have for your children that shines so clearly, where way too many people see their children as burdens you instead enjoy (and yes sometimes endure) every phase and love them so dearly.

I hope the next year you all achieve all of your goals the children go healthy and strong and the only tears are happy ones!

its december!!

It is officially that time of year again and many mothers (and yes fathers too) find themselves running around in circles wondering what is safe, what will the kids like, what will be played with and what shoved in the toy box and forgotten (other then when you are paying the credit card bill!!)

Modern times bring new worries, chemicals, developmental impact, self esteem, pollution, materials, fairtrade/no trade, until you are ready to pull out your hair and give the kids either your entire wallet or a cardboard box because NOTHING seems to be completely worry free.
