{life behind the purple door}: time to trust our husbands

http://www.lifebehindthepurpledoor.com/2014/08/time-to-trust-our-husbands.html

Wednesday, 20 August 2014. Time to trust our husbands. As I read yet another post this morning from a mum getting ready to head off to the ProBlogger Event next week. It occured to me that many of us don't trust our husbands. Oh, I don't mean that we think he's going to step out on us, I mean we don't trust him with the kids. We stress ourselves out, writing out recipes, shopping, pre-cooking meals, organising play dates and school runs. Why? But don't take away his ability to look after the kids by micr...

Maid in Australia: You, me, and Fiji ...

http://www.maidinaustralia.com/2012/04/you-me-and-fiji.html

Thursday, April 26, 2012. You, me, and Fiji . I was feeling a bit flat the other day, and I thought: I really need a holiday to look forward to. Maybe it's the Sagittarean in me, but I love travel. Thoughts of adventure in distant - or not so distant places - have kept me going through many tough times. And made me smile even brighter when times are good. They have helped this little family bond even tighter, and make memories that will never be erased. And Fiji was truly the place to do it. Get set for ...

Can you take kids to Antarctica? - Escape With Kids

http://www.escapewithkids.com/2015/05/can-you-take-kids-to-antarctica

Can you take kids to Antarctica? May 26, 2015. Antarctica is a bucket-list dream for many. Especially those keen to tick off all the continents. But do you need to wait until the kids leave home? Is it a trip reserved for rich retirees? Or is it suitable for your next family holiday? Here we are dodging icebergs in the Lemaire Channel. What will they love about Antarctica? So close that you could step onto the iceberg and give him a tickle. Theoretically of course! But it is the ice that takes your breat...

My five year old has a bucket list. It mainly involves encounters with deadly animals. I’d lay the blame squarely with Steve Backshall (presenter of BBC’s ‘Deadly 60’) but ever since I saw him in lycra. On ‘Strictly come Dancing’, I could never be cross with him for anything. No, it’s my fault really. For letting my son believe that anything is possible. He watches a documentary about Kakadu National Park, is engrossed and asks if we can see it for ourselves. I say yes and I make sure we do. I’m not a ma...

Talia Christine: DIY Hand painted Skirt

http://taliachristine.blogspot.com/2014/09/diy-hand-painted-skirt.html

DIY Hand painted Skirt. I made this skirt ages ago (more on that later). It just never really clicked with me. I mean, it was always just OKAY in my mind. A good staple, but a bit boring. Do you what I mean? Zing badabing. It was just what this skirt needed. I used a bronze textile paint and an acrylic paintbrush, laid the skirt out (with newspaper inside the skirt so that the paint didn't bleed through), and had it! Now I have a skirt that I finally love. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Oh I love it!

penelope waits: like a hole in the head

http://penelopewaitscraft.blogspot.com/2013/10/like-hole-in-head.html

Thursday, 10 October 2013. Like a hole in the head. If you know me, you'll know that i spend all my spare time crafting. and with a toddler in the house, the concept of spare time is pretty laughable most days. i have about three different quilting projects on the go at the moment (okay, four. FINE! Are you happy now? And my embroidery needle is never idle for long. i also draw and paint. So i think it's safe to say that i need a new craft like a hole in the head. A page from my travel journal, paris 2008.

The Very Inappropriate Blog. The place I can say all the things that would otherwise get me fired, unfriended or kicked out of the P and C. I mentioned in a recent post that I have world class procrastination skills. If something’s a bit hard or unpleasant then why not put that fucker off for as long as you can? But sometimes procrastinating about bigger stuff is not really fine at all. So these days when it comes to the big stuff I try to do the right thing. Take care of business. Be a grown up. Again n...
