yes i really do have a green thumb

You see that white ranunculus about to fully bloom? It's my first 'grown-from-an-itty-bitty-seed' ranunculus of spring! I really can grow pretty flowers! I'm not particularly well known for my ability to look after anything of the plant variety so this is pretty exciting to me (ignore the fact there was also a gardener here today, making the rest of the yard look something similar to how we bought it. Winter = neglecting backyard BIG time.). I've already picked a few and put them in vases around the house. And even though I bought a pack of seeds for white flowers, I noticed a pinkish/reddish flower blooming today. 

Aside from my hysteria over flowers blooming and the scent of jasmine in the air, I've been swamped with recovering from my surgery, my husband being away for the past two weeks and me kid-wrangling on my own for that time, with a bit of conjunctivitis, tonsillitis, fevers and rashes thrown in to boot. I'm tired. Hubby comes home tomorrow night and the kids have decided to get sick AGAIN a few days before he arrives. I've been trying to stay on top of my part time job, as well as getting ready for the launch of this little project, keep on top of the housework, and squeeze in a little time to myself. Life is just seeming a wee bit frantic again. In fact it has felt that way all year. 

Anyway, I'm here to say 'hi' and I really wish I had more time for my lovely blog land peeps. I'm hoping to get a little more time in the next few weeks because I have a few things I'd love to share here.

But in the meantime, tell me, what's been happening in your world?

Review: Ford Mondeo Titanium wagon

Friday, September 17, 2010




Thanks to Kidspot and Ford Australia, I was given the amazing opportunity to be a Ford Mondeo Mama and to test drive and review the new Ford Mondeo Titanium wagon. It has been really exciting and lots of fun. I also won a brand new iPod Touch and iTunes voucher, as well as a fuel voucher to keep my test car fuelled up and ready to take anywhere!

Want to know what I think of this beauty? Head over here and read my review. Feel free to ask me any questions too.

Well, I've been away from bloggy land again for a little while. My little family has not really had a break for the last three months from illness. Recently we've just gotten over tonsillitis.

Now, I'm sitting here nervously typing as I'm off to hospital tomorrow. I need to get my pesky little gallbladder out. I've never been to hospital for anything before (besides babies) so I'm a little anxious about it all. By this time tomorrow it should all be over, and I should be resting up in my hospital bed......hopefully not in too much pain.

Anyway, this is hello and adieu for a little while. Hopefully I'll be back again soon a bit brighter and with a little more blogging mojo back.
