Fathers Day

This is my Dad (and me). I only get to see him once every few years as he lives overseas.

He came over last year though and stayed for a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, he is not well and I worry about him being so far away.

This is my husband and the father to our babies. I think he deserves a big hi-5 for putting up with me for the last 11 years. I would hate to be a parent without him as he keeps me sane (and that's not an easy job).

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DAD'S

Go Diego Go!

It was my little boys 3rd birthday on Wednesday. Today (Sat) we had his party at

McDonalds with his birth family, our family and friends.

This is the first cake I have decorated by myself and I have to say I am pretty darn pleased with myself.

The two blondies are Phil's grown up girls and the little boy is our grandson sitting on his Aunties knee.

Boodles with her nephew (our grand baby)

My absolutely favourite photo of the birthday boy with Dad (Phil)

Here is Peanut and Lulu's birth mum with Lulu.

A great day had by all.

Bloggie friends

My name is Jodz and I am a blog reading addict.

Knowing this you can understand why Dee from sew-funky and I were soooo excited to meet Viv from Highway Cottage Weblog.

Viv makes the most amazing quilts like this kiwiana one below.

We met for morning tea and had a wonder around the shops. Viv's boy Cam was a dream and oh so cute. I wish my kids were so well behaved.

Thanks Viv for taking time out of your busy holiday schedule to meet up with us. We had a blast.

Blogland giveaway

There is a really cool giveaway (or should I say 8 give-aways) happening

Medicine cupboard

I am still de cluttering. I think its a never ending process.

Here is my meds cabinet before

And ta-da. The after.

This is an inexpensive way to clean up. I just used ice cream containers. All you need to do is eat your way through 2 litres of ice cream then recycle the container. I wish chocolate came in 2 litre tubs.

Winter theme

I have been so inspired by the amazing seasonal themes that bloggers create like this one from Funky Junk Interiors .

S0 I have made a very small version using what I have around the house.

(please excuse the blurry pics)

Winter theme complete. Only one more month till Spring.
