Last weekend in January we had the joy and pleasure of having our entire families (minus papa Chris and Mr Clevs brother) join us to celebrate the baptism of our beautiful daughters. Im going to keep the words short and the photos plentiful because I get a bit emosh thinking about the day. The reason […]
This pretty much sums up valentines day!! The girls and I went to toddler group while the boys were at school, then when they came home we decorated and made our house look like an explosion of pink and hearts and fairy lights!! Nothing quite says ‘we are celebrating an event’ like fairy lights. In […]
Ive not blogged in a month and apparently am doing really badly with my Jan Goals. Well actually my financial goals are all ok, and I’m a bit better at carving out time for myself, its just I’ve been using it to sleep or read other peoples blogs rather than write my own. During January […]
So 8 days in to the new year and guess what? I broke my arm! How you ask….well I was swinging from a chandelier during wild and passionate baby making with my husband because why have 5 kids, when you could have 6, and who knew chandeliers needed reinforcing before you swung on them…no not […]
Sorry for the lack of posting. Life with three children was busy, life with four was manic, but five of them is pure mayhem!! The run up to christmas was typically busy, getting presents, food shopping, school plays and concerts and church services. A fake tree for us this year, and one that never really […]
Today I am thankful for whoever invented the things in this photo… That’s coffee, Mr Bosch, and calpol. Two of my girls have croup and a virus, and the other has an ear infection/virus. Both boys are at school but I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t get called in to collect Maxi at some […]
I am thankful for morning sunshine to lift my spirits today. I woke up this morning to the sound of my brand spanking new much lusted after cake stand smashing, an argument followed with Mr Clev about being materialistic and how I shouldn’t care about it as I didn’t pay for it. Our money attitudes […]
I am thankful that I am a stay at home mum. I wouldn’t want to miss out on moments like Cora smiling for the first time. Or moments like the one above….”come quick mummy petal is dead” can you guess which one is petal?? Hehe!! They sure do keep me on my toes. Because we […]
I am thankful for weekends. This week has been tough as we have all been hit by illness, sore throats, runny noses and the odd temperature. Everyone has needed cuddles and extra love, which is hard to dish out when you have a newborn baby and are feeling under par yourself. I think I managed […]
I have not blogged for AGES! so to kick start me blogging again I am going to aim to post every other day or so with the things that I am thankful for this month, accompanied with a photo (most of which will be ipad ones). I totally stole this idea from the whole ‘Thanksgiving […]
