As I started writing this post I thought to myself this is a keeping it real post. Because this is one last minute rush to Christmas at our house. And some things are not going to plan. Like having to go to the dr’s today to get emerson’s immunisations as we’re behind schedule. Instead of […]
{Keep Reading...}retro mummy’s favourite Christmas recipes
I can’t believe how close we are to Christmas and that I still have presents to buy for and haven’t made 50 million batches of rocky road this month. Thankfully I planned out my Christmas menu here which is one less thing to worry about when you’re hosting Christmas lunch. Anyway, if you feel like […]
{Keep Reading...}out past my bed time
Last night I snuck in the door at almost midnight and tried not to wake anyone up. Oh no wait, I went straight to our bedroom and told retro daddy that I was home and checked in on my babies. I never really go out late. Certainly not on a Tuesday. I’m kind of jealous […]
{Keep Reading...}quilt for keira’s teacher

{Keep Reading...}I’m giving away a Kitchen Aid this Christmas
There is a bit of background to this giveaway. I was chatting last year to one of my sweet blogging friends and we were discussing how cool it would be to give away a Kitchen Aid on our own blogs. It seemed like something that was so far off and such an expensive thing to do. […]
{Keep Reading...}flying solo on a sunday
I don’t know how some of you do everything at home with hubbies away in the forces or for work or the single mummies out there. It’s hard work. I try not to grumble too much when retro daddy goes away for work. And he only goes away for a few days at a time. He’s […]
