Georgie Made This At Play Group Today

Actually that is a lie.

She wasn't interested so I made it myself (although by the looks of it I could pass it off as of a child had done it)

They also got to ice a plain biscuit and decorate it with jelly beans and pebbles. They then put them on a plate with their name and left them to set. They were then to be given out at morning tea time for the kids to eat.

Well Little Georgie thought this was great and once she had made hers just wanted to stay and eat all the lollies. So my time was spent pull her away from the lollie table.

Which anyone who knows the stubbornness of this wee girl would know what a hard task this was.

I turned around at one stage to see her pulling a number of other kids finished biscuits off the table and shoving all the lollies in her mouth.

So some poor little kids were left with just a plain boring biscuit with no lollies on top after all their hard work for their morning tea..........I quickly escaped the scene.

Photography

We brought a really good camera around 3 years ago, as we needed a new one and I had this big idea that I would like to start taking photos.

Anyway you know the story......never got around to it.

So I am now going to start taking a few here and there and see what I come up with .

Took this pic this morning, without realising what I was doing.

If you look closely you can see me in the sunglasses taking the picture.

Although it would be better if Georgie was looking up at the camera.

Another Beautiful Day

Took some pics on my walk this morning.

Just look at where I live (what have I got to complain about)

Another beautiful day on the Northern Beaches

With my BEAUTIFUL wee girl.

Sometimes It's Hard Not To Laugh

Eating lunch today, crackers and cottage cheese.

Georgie started to be silly while eating it........

and then.........

She thought it was a great joke to put the cracker with cottage cheese on her head like a hat..........

cottage cheese side down!

What a mess and what a cheeky face!

I started out telling Georgie not to be silly but I couldn't help but laugh, sometimes it is hard keeping a straight face as a parent.

More Dust

More dust again today.

Was about to go out for a walk, went outside but could taste the dust in the air and feel it in my eyes, definatly not a good idea to take Georgie out in it.

looks like another morning inside.

Dust Storm Sydney

Woke up the other morning to this, looks like something out of War of the Worlds. It was just a dust storm although one of the worst Sydney has seen in years.

Didn't realise how bad it was until heard on the news they were recommending that people stay in side especially children under 5 should not go outside.

Had plans to go to a lunch at play group were you had to bring a plate. I had made a whole lot of sausage rolls to take so guess how my day was spent stck inside going stir crazy with a toddler eating heaps of sausage rolls, feeling sick and then wondering why I ate so many considering I don't really like sausage rolls that much.

So not one of my best days.

A Day At The Beach

does life get much better than this?

Spent a wonderful, sunny beautiful Sydney day at the beach with my wee girl.

Played in sand, splashed in the waves and just sat and took in the beauty of the day.

Then Georgie decided to go up to a group of random strangers (as they always do) and steal an apple core out of a ladies hand as she was eating it.

They were very nice about it and said she could have it, I proceeded to tell them that I did feed her and she had just had her lunch (not sure if they believed me or not)

So the rest of the afternoon was spent running around the beach eating some ones half eaten apple. All in all a great day had :)

I Love This Quote

If we continue to see only giants, then we are still viewing the world through the eyes of a child.

A Mother Always Knows Best, or Does She?

Isn't that the way the saying goes? Well it doesn't feel like it.

Becoming a mum, the best thing I have ever done and then on the other hand probably the most challenging thing I have ever had to do. I know a lot of people wouldn't think that would be the case, up until I had my wee girl I would have thought the same thing.

Although it is not just the challenges of day to day life with raising a baby and the consent doubt that you are not doing things right it is also the constant emotional roller coaster ride of one minute you are so happy, full of love and joy to then having feeling of sadness, feeling alone and at times depressed.

Anyway I am not one to moan or feel sorry for myself as I have a wonderful life and wonderful family. (I guess at times that's what make it so hard as I can not find reason with myself as to why I feel so down) I am defiantly one for action and getting things done so instead of complaining and entertaining these thoughts of an unhappy life and poor me, I am going to find balance once again within myself, be happy, content and love all aspect of my life.
