Summer!

I've been seeing all these photos of snow everywhere courtesy of Facebook and Instagram. Can I say I'm kind of jealous at the moment? I always loved summer, the consistency of long, hot, sunny days just made me happy. But as I get older it starts to wear a bit thin when it's ridiculously hot.  According to the news, our summer hasn't been too hot (although it feels like it has been), and we've had a few milder days and colder nights in the last week or so which was awesome. We have had 15 days over 35 celcius (95F), in January, and I know there were a few in December and November too. But today is another one, and according to forecasts we are set for a record breaking heat wave over the next week. It's supposed to get up to 42c (110F), and not go below 39 celcius (103), for at least the next week possibly longer. I got a text message from the girls' high school earlier today advising about the extreme weather for next week which I've never had bef...

Why This Blog Was Born

Hello!! I like to talk....you might say I can ramble on for days on end about stuff. Or maybe you wouldn't and that's just The Awesome One's voice in my head I can hear. Regardless, I do like to talk, and I write the way I talk (which is kind of rambling but I promise I will almost always get to the point!), and I like to write! The point of this post being that as The Awesome One and I have so many friends and family in far flung areas of the globe, it makes it oh so much easier to keep everyone updated with what we are doing, photos of the children and the like. Plus, as you might know, I make stuff all the time, and while that may be awesomely creative on my behalf, it doesn't really fit on my art blog. Because that's supposed to be about my art. Not about the tutu's I've made for Halloween (although they are awesome and I'll get to those in another post), or the giggling that Little Miss Penelope did yesterday for the first time. Or even fo...

I'm Not A Morning Person...

Image
The Awesome One is not a morning person either. So you'd think that mornings might be a bit tough here in our crazy household. But actually, they're really not that bad! I am a routine kinda girl. I love predictability in my life. I can cope with things when they aren't, and I like a bit of spontaneity every now and then, but for the mornings things need to be done the way they're done or it kind of irritates me. Not emotional meltdown like the Little Dude when he tries to deal with stuff that isn't in his routine, but still. I can get  a bit cranky!   I know, you're so surprised right?! Me, cranky?! Never! ;)  So this is what happens in the mornings here, and it works for us, mostly that is anyway. I get up with Little Miss Penelope at somewhere between 4:30 and 5:30 usually for her bottle. I sit on the couch in a sleep deprived daze, waiting for her to drink her milk so we can go back to bed. She's pretty quick at that time of day, usually drinki...
