Holidays can be tough, children like routine and when you don’t normally work with the school routine, it can be daunting… I thought I would post a little think tank of ideas to get you through your two week break from making lunches… Planning…. Plan some surprises – kids love them and they keep you in the good books Plan something nice and then tell {Read More}
On one of our trips to Holland Mr Cool and I had spent the day travelling to the beautful city of Valkenburg to watch a stage of a classic bike race. We caught the train back to our hotel in Maastricht, showered and dressed and hit the city looking for somewhere to have dinner. We meandered along bustling streets in the early evening glow and found ourselves standing in the main square. Even though renovations were happening, people were still {Read More}

I write long lists of things to do and expect to be able to do {Read More}
My Sky This time last year, this is not the sky we had in my home town. We had grey clouds were emptying themselves on our drought stricken city. The anniversary of the ‘Inland Tsuanmi’ is coming up on the 10th. It is going to be a day of remembering friends lost, buildings destroyed, heroes and heart break. We haven’t been on the news for a while. The press haven’t been around to see that just last month my sister {Read More}

Today’s photo a day challenge {with fatmumslim} topic is ‘Breakfast‘… Well, we didn’t have a great deal of choice for breakfast this morning. It was basically whatever was in the freezer, the milk had gone sour while being away and there was no bread in the house. I am so glad Mr Cool found these fruit muffins, things were looking pretty grim. We returned home late last night from a whirlwind trip to Sydney. We stayed with lovely friends and {Read More}
