When your list of things to do is bigger than you are. When the twins have screamed and pulled at your jeans and stretched your cardigan out of shape at school pick up for a good 15 minutes. When it takes one hour to get 4 little people to sleep. When you burn half a […]

Retro daddy bought me a book today, he just doesn’t know it yet. I wanted this book from the moment I read about it in the SMH. It was the saddest time in my life and my mum was just clinging on to what would be her last day with us. I had taken a break from […]

Today started with swimming lessons at our new time of 7.30am. Honestly, I am going to remind retro daddy every single saturday morning when I have to get up in pitch black that it was his brilliant idea to make lessons that early in the morning. I now see the benefits of being out of the house in […]

Retro daddy had this great idea to change everyone’s swimming lessons to 7.30am and 8am on a saturday morning. I was a little surprised he did this (he loves a good sleep in) and sure enough last night he was out watching his beloved carlton play the Sydney swans while enjoying beer and sausage rolls. […]

April 28, 2011 By 16 Comments
I know you’ve been loving the dream houses so how about a few more as we finish up the working week. Now is this one big enough for you? There were no photos of the inside but it looks big enough for the six of us. For something a little more modest and a bit better on […]
