Charlotte's class Prep D at Stella Maris Catholic school did a beautiful liturgy at the end of term Father Gerry came and the children enjoyed the day and his jokes



We have been enjoying the Cotton Tree beach this summer so good for the girls and fun for the mummy watching the kite surfers !


The evil capsicum that i grew and some of the others

We / I grew these capsicums and nurtured them as hubby said they weren't going to grow, they did eventually and this top one looks a bit evil.

Here is a piccie of the gluten free ginger bread men and shapes we made today, I had my doubts about the men ! BUT they are v tasty and all GONE

How do I love thee , let me count the ways
I love my new pre xmas present Nespresso coffee machine
You see i have a small kitchen and when i saw this little baby
I knew it would fit perfectly in my kitchen
I have "crossed over" as i am religiously a tea drinker but
I must say i am now converted and love my little pod machine
a bit more than George Clooney xx

Happenings and 2010

Charlotte at her Prep Concert for Christmas

Amber at her birthday party 4 years old !!!

Amber and Charlotte's joint bday party Gluten free cake made by me !

This little angel/fairy may look strange with her funny neck but as a little girl I used to wait excitedly for my dear mum (RIP) to get this girl out of her grey box, I can still remember the box vividly tied with brown string.  I thought this girl was beautiful and because my mum is no longer with me she reminds me every year when I get her out and hang her on my own tree what a great childhood i had and what a gorgeous devoted mother my mum was. She sits proudly on our tree once again this year. x

Me and the girls at dcare concert

She is little and sweet and sometimes not so happy but we are hoping that now we have found out she is coeliac, life and her tummy will be a whole lot happier!
