and more things I haven’t told you lately

Well, I always have fun sharing total random things with you that don’t make it onto the blog:
And that is what has been going down here!
Oh Corrie, The Joy Luck Club! I sob each time I watch it where the Mummy has to leave her twin girls behind in the snow! Terrible!!
Corrie – I didn’t know all this stuff.
I have a similar post in my head, spat a bit out yesterday.
I’m am also working on more low fat recipes so my jeans aren’t as snug.
I have gained 2kgs in 2 wks …and I should NOT have made the caramel slice last night.
Hhaha my twins barely even know JB.
Great list! I’ve been trying to convince my 5 year old that shorter hair would be cute, but she won’t be having it.
My daughter really wants a cookie dog. She’ll have to wait for her bday.
I got a bit of a gasp out my mothers group when I told them that my baby sleeps in our bed every night. I love it and surprisingly, so does my hubby. Will start putting her in her cot when this horrible Winter has left us. I love having all the kids in bed with me when hubby is away. They’re only little for so long. I don’t think they’ll want to share a bed when they’re adults.
Love it, thank you for a little laugh. Can I ask, how much is the Thermomix? I’ve looked on the website but there’s no price… a bit scary? They sound so wonderful!!
Corrie, we have the cookie dog and it is ANNOYING!!!!! Also love that you are a fellow co sleeper!!
I love lists like this! And my Annabelle is desperate for Cookie too. I’m resisting as jardiniere as I can.
Haha, you make me laugh Corrie. A great post!
I love how you say sometimes 4 is enough… if I were you, I would be thinking that ALWAYS! ;o)
And yes, little Elodie would be the best kind of contraceptive, we say that about our boys and they don’t sleep in our bed.
Kitchen plans sound exciting… I would LOVE a new kitchen, but until we can get one, I’ll just continue to dream xo
Thankyou for the giggles Corrie! I don’t know what it’s like having four little ones, but one is enough for me atm – you are my hero for still staying sane after a full day with that many nipping at your heels, lol!
You mentioned you wanted to look for some ‘low fat recipes’ to help you lose weight…have you considered cutting out items with ‘hidden sugars’? I have found I have more success when I remove the dense (often sugary and processed) carbohydrates from my diet, even still having ‘full fat’ items, helps me see quicker results. That said, I am a sucker for a good carb-dense item and am currently floating about 20-25kgs heavier than I would like, lol. I know the facts and research…its putting it into practice! Have you read Lysa Terkeurst’s book “Made to Crave”? It’s fantastic – looking at the spiritual issues behind issues with food … and, for that matter, anything that pulls our cravings away from God.
I did want to co-sleep with my daughter when she was born, but since I still have a single bed (only way the two of us would fit in the room with her cot, and now ‘big’ bed) so it wasn’t practical. I was forever paranoid I would fall asleep during night feeds and that she would roll over and off the bed! We still share a room though!
Oh Corrie I love reading this stuff…. The joy luck club I cried and cried too :o( We have a 2.5 year old that sleeps in our bed every night and my 3 week old is starting to like cuddles in the middle of the night too :o)
Oh Corrie! Thanks for making me smile. I love this series of posts – they’re just so raw and honest. Fabulous. Now I want to do something similar. you should be charging a commission! J x
That’s hilarious! I have my newborn next to me at night too. Hubby sleeps with our 20mth old so we are never in bed together… Never, lol. I made choc chip cookies and balked at the amount of butter it required. I’m thinking of growing mine out a little too.
