My day was quiet and restful. It started with breakfast in bed {pancakes made by Liam} and I received some sweet presents from the boys. Liam and I had coffee and cake at the <a href="http://www.cottagegardennursery.com.au/" target="_blank">Cottage Garden Nursery</a> and Antique Center earlier in the week and I found another puppy to add to our menagerie. We called him Bob after a little terrier who is the hero of one of Agatha Christie's books "Dumb Witness".<br />
Little Luke chose this chocolate rose from his school Mother's Day stall.<br />

My sisters and I celebrated our Mother earlier last week before she went on an overseas trip with Dad. She is at the moment visiting Denmark with the added purpose of doing some family history research into her danish ancestors. Mum has been methodically collecting information into our family history for over ten years including scanning hundreds of slides and ancient photographs. It will be a treasure for us all in years to come. I am eagerly looking forward to Dad's photos when they get back. Of course I miss them already. Mum is one of the biggest players in what makes my life work! She does a lot for me and my boys.<br />

<br />
I would also like to mention all of my friends who are mothers - you all work so hard and always inspire me. You are the village around me it takes to raise a child. We all have truly had some difficult moments yet I am proud to say we all know how to laugh our arses off, have a good time, find as much joy as possible from the roles we chose and still somehow manage to hold on to what makes us the unique people we are. Our hearts have all grown bigger in the process and we always find a bit of extra room in our homes and lives for the people who need us.<br />

<br />
And "Mummy Bloggers" this includes YOU! You are an extension of my friends and family. You are there all day and night with your stories, photos {pretty <i>and</i> messy} and are always a comfort.<br />
I hope you all get how much value you are. Mums need people around them, people on their team. Doesn't matter where you get it from.<br />

Brisbane writer <a href="http://rebeccasparrow.com/" target="_blank">Rebecca Sparrow</a> has written a fantastic post on her blog called: <a href="http://rebeccasparrow.com/2012/07/14/why-i-wont-read-mummy-blogs/" target="_blank">Why I won't read "Mummy Blogs". </a>You gotta read it. It's important. Maybe you feel sometimes, like me, like you don't have enough time to do all the things you need to do, want to do and why am I even wasting time writing this blog? Well, you HAVE to make time for things that you want, things that are important to you or you will go crazy, your brain will shrivel up like the dried apricots you are throwing in your kid's lunch boxes. People like me really value visiting your blogs - so <i>thank you</i> and <i>thank you</i> Rebecca Sparrow.<br />

Finally, here are some vintage mummies for you to read about ~ Mrs Miniver, who is lovely and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
E.M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady, who is quite hilarious. If you like English fiction set in wartime, then you will like these. As a Mother, you will be able to relate to their antics no matter how removed from your 2013 lives, I swear. I particularly like the covers of both of these books, Mrs Miniver dating from, according to the dedication in the front page, 1941 and The Diary of a Provincial Lady, a modern copy done in vintage style by Cath Kidston. </div>

<br />
My sister and I went to Paddington, {a gorgeous inner city suburb of Brisbane, in this instance, for those of you who don't know} to buy birthday and Mother's Day presents for our Mum!<br />
We also did manage to fit in a spot of afternoon tea at Monty's Chocolates. I love a visit to <a href="http://suburbansider.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/day-out-in-paddington.html" target="_blank">Paddington</a> but what made it extra special this time was this...<br />
<br />
Look what I found!<br />
I love the person who trims their hedge into a heart. I'd like to see more!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am so happy that my lease on my little house in Tarragindi has just been renewed for another year - no dreaded move, thank goodness! However I am still settling in to my "new place". Rejigging, finding what works, reorganising. A year is not enough time apparently.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I recently found these beautiful frames in a box of frames and pictures which either need to be hung or revamped. They come from my mother's childhood. I love their chipped paint and slightly convex glass. I had previously had other pictures in them but this time I wanted them in the kitchen to hold a gorgeous card with a teacup photograph I have been keeping for forever. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And perfectly, I was able to use a page from one of my 2012 calendars. I think they make a sweet pair. </div>

Love to reuse stuff to stop it from becoming, well... just stuff.</div>

It continued to be torrential all day and the wind has thrown it's two cents in as well. I have never heard it actually whistle and howl so loudly before! Every window and door in my house is rattling and the branches of the trees next to the house are rapping on the windows in a very agitated way.<br />
We've got sideways rain and the water-catchments and nearby creeks are looking scarily full. The house is damp, my pile of laundry grows unrelentingly larger but from the sounds of things I could be a lot worse off, other people have lost power and are watching waters rise across their backyards. People in northern cities of Queensland are facing hurricanes. Hopefully it will be nothing like the floods of this time <a href="http://suburbansider.blogspot.com.au/search/label/brisbane%20floods" target="_blank">two years ago...</a><br />

We barricaded ourselves in and admittedly it was good to have the excuse to relax and catch up on some reading {of the blog and books-from-the-library variety}. Of course I did have a pile of back to school books to cover awaiting me on the dinning table but I just gave those an occasional cold stare and otherwise ignored them for today. Tomorrow!<br />

It's a bit of an outrage the rain is coming down in buckets on our barbecues across Brisbane today but I'm just happy to have a precious day off work to spend time with my boys.<br />
Obviously we're going to be celebrating that Australia is the best country in the world, I should know, I've been to cities that <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV78XFdBTsk" target="_blank">never close down...</a><br />
We'll still be having that barbecue with my fam, I'll be listening to Triple J's Hottest 100, I'll be very excited if my favourite Brisbane band, The Jungle Giants make an appearance with <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbnN5bA-iUM" target="_blank">this song</a>.<br />
We won't be going to the cockroach races or meat pie eating contests at our local pub {although I do think it's important to occasionally embrace your inner bogan}.<br />
<br />
What will you be doing??<br />
<br />

2012 has been immense. I moved house, began a completely brand spanking, career changing new job as a library assistant and then shortly after, interviewed again and went from a part timer to a full timer. So whilst still unpacking the house I have been trekking up the very steep learning curve that has come with working in a new job and trying to manage my fulltimerness with being a solo parent. Thank goodness my littlest one loves after school care and that my parents are on standby for at least once a week baby sitting. I have considered this a very fortunate year for me. I LOVE my new job and whilst it's sometimes tricky to juggle everything it's not half as stressful as when I was studying full time and working part time a couple of years ago. I am working with some very encouraging and supportive people at my new work who have helped me settle in and held my hand when necessary. Obviously my blog has fallen by the wayside and like my garden, although I love gardening so much, lack of time and energy has seen it become a bit weedy and neglected looking. So time to put some love back in. I hope you will stay tuned and thank you to all of the people who's blogs I have visited in 2012. You inspire and cheer me, no matter what, any time of the day or night, whatever I need, you are there.<br />
Happy 2013!<br />
<br />

We were lucky enough to get front row views from the windows of one of the city buildings on George Street. I loved having such a wonderful view and to be apart from the seething mass of the crowd below, however there was that element of being a bit removed and missing the sounds and heat and the smell, the crush, getting spattered with rain, feeling the wave of the explosions beat through you. You know, like watching the mosh pit on T.V instead of being in it - not quite the same effect. Happily, Liam as able to set up his tripod and get some beautiful photos and I wasn't stressing the whole entire time about losing Lukey. Bless him, he turned to me during the fireworks and said in my ear "I love you Mummy". Ain't it the truth, there's something about fireworks that brings us to our knees. If he, in 10 or 15 or 30 years time and whilst watching fireworks says the same thing to someone he loves I will consider my efforts in parenting a job well done. He feels the magic the same as me - thank goodness. And so did everybody else, there were thousands and tens of thousands of people there. Ahh lovely Brisbane! I will miss all the pink!<br />

All of the gorgeous photos were taken by Liam with the guidance of his Grandad. My parents gave him a camera and lens for this 15th birthday recently and Dad has been giving him lessons ever since. I 'm so happy he has really been interested in photography. He found his tripod on the side of the road during council clean-up - that's my boy!<br />
<br />
And finally - there were some very special people working on this festival, turning the wheels and pressing the buttons behind the green curtain, it was wonderful! Thank you!<br />

I just finished this piece for a friend who is giving it to her husband.<br />
It is a favourite quote of theirs set against an image created from a photo taken at their beach house where they have been taking their family for many years. We blew it up to a big 8 x 12 inch print and my friend framed it in a box frame with the addition of a little heart shaped rock. They have a little collection of heart shaped rocks, found on holidays together and placed in a silver dish.<br />
If I could dive into this picture and be right there, with time standing still, I would.<br />

Last week I worked in the city and really loved having the <a href="http://www.janpowersfarmersmarkets.com.au/" target="_blank">Jan Power's Farmer's Markets </a>there all day Wednesday. I bought a pretzel, some macadamia nut brittle, a vietnamese salad, some strawberries. So much goodness! It was packed with people, everything looked delicious and so fresh, the mushrooms being cooked up smelled amazing! Next time I'll try and fit in a round of black jack at the tables too.<br />

The boys and I went for a Saturday morning excursion. We had brunch at Groove Cafe which is going to be a new favourite and then checked out the 2nd hand book shop and a wonderful shop full of handmade goodies. We pressed our faces against the glass of the huge aladin's cave of an antique shop and I made plans to return later without the youngest of the boys... and then the op shops, this little strip at Annerley is famous for them. It was fun. I found this lovely vase! <br />
These are all places I've ventured out to before but it kind of feels different now that they are in my own neighbourhood, do you know what I mean? We are enjoying exploring our new surrounds.<br />

It was a very amazing and fantastic science experiment party. I will have more pics up soon but here is a birthday message I made and rolled up into a test tube in lieu of a birthday card. I got the test tubes from <a href="http://www.reversegarbage.com.au/" target="_blank">Reverse Garbage</a> about a year ago for no particular reason other than you never know when a specimen tube will come in handy...<br />

How cool are these sweets! Like lego bricks! There are more in the range which I found at<br />
David Jones and by coincidence there were other types featured at the party.<br />
Of course, I couldn't go past the packaging.<br />

my new house</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's very unfamiliar, my things look quite un-at-home. We {my friends and family} have made lots of little trips this weekend, filling our cars with boxes and bits and pieces and taking them over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My new house is only a suburb away from the old one. So we are now in Tarragindi, it's very pretty and leafy. There's a park at the end of our street and a bowls club just around the corner! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am discovering all of the little characteristics of our new home, such as this faux lux laminate {pictured below - you will notice it} in the handwashing room. Despite the bathroom being tiny there is a very generously sized room next to the WC with a basin in it and that's about it . I'm calling it a mudroom from here on in because I've always wanted one. I am sure it will be handy for dumping stuff in, school bags etc, so exotic! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A removalist will come on Tuesday to bring all the big stuff and that will be our first night. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My back hurts and I think my brain is hurting too! So much still ahead but I am looking forward to setting everything up and making it look pretty, that's the fun part, pity there's so much blah, blah blah to go through to get there.</div>

My sister Catherine organised for Liam to go to a Manga workshop at the library because that is the kind of thing he is very much into and afterwards we did a teency bit of shopping at the Asian Supermarket. We probably only make it there a couple of times a year and it's a bit of a treat because there is so much cool stuff!<br />
I like just about everything because of the packaging, I really could spend hours looking at it all.<br />
Mostly today I bought sweets and tea, Liam bought noodles, condiments and he loves the drinks, he got some <a href="http://www.justhungry.com/sweet-cultured-taste-calpis" target="_blank">Calpis</a> this time.<br />

There are about a gazillion Asian grocery shops in Sunnybank, Brisbane.<br />
My boys love going there and nothing's too expensive, our little excursion was a sweet end to our school holidays. Today the boys are back and I am packing boxes as we have a new home to move into at the end of the week. Man it's been a stressful couple of weeks trying to find a place to rent. I know moving house is a pretty foul job but I feel like the hardest bit is over and I can just get on with it now that everything is set in place. Wish me luck!suburbansiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10413658220686861001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759750797611587509.post-91753813533867961052012-04-04T13:46:00.002+10:002012-04-04T13:48:13.056+10:00Easter Printables<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkluqQ_YOpglMR68MToQtYEdxZBOkQQMmwCi1QwkFfPx7F36paMSl-ylCSnhAcYdN-yMB_u1YrM9cocAuJXjdmKFVlJi1BfR8pgD5SPF0nlKgHgmNtHqT6bhFdOWcATPp-cie0K5IXy4w/s1600/easterhoponit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkluqQ_YOpglMR68MToQtYEdxZBOkQQMmwCi1QwkFfPx7F36paMSl-ylCSnhAcYdN-yMB_u1YrM9cocAuJXjdmKFVlJi1BfR8pgD5SPF0nlKgHgmNtHqT6bhFdOWcATPp-cie0K5IXy4w/s1600/easterhoponit.jpg" /></a></div><br />

no two for tuesday today... I have been giving my attention over the last couple of weeks to my impending move and it's pretty much all I can think about. My <a href="http://theenchantingforest.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">sister</a> and her husband spent this weekend moving house too and we all helped. I am dropping in to her house early tomorrow morning before work to say goodbye for the last time. My heart will break just a little, so many happy memories, it was a big part of my life. I am taking heaps of photos back at mine before I pack everything away. I didn't want to move in at first but I have grown to love this place, it's been good to us too. I have owned 1 house and lived in about 13 since I was 21... that's a little over 15 years. It's has been good because I've travelled a lot and had some really different experiences but I'm a tad over moving now. I need to take more pictures of the little details because they are the parts that I miss the most.suburbansiderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10413658220686861001noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8759750797611587509.post-77214635811309505242012-03-27T07:14:00.000+10:002012-03-27T07:14:27.442+10:00oooh the blues<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The home I rent is being sold and I chose the option of moving out straight away. It has been a<br />
bit unsettled around here as you would know if you've ever had a house up for sale or had to move.<br />
I've been doing a lot of tidying up and decluttering {it was a good thing I started back in January!}<br />
<br />
So who knows where next! I am pretty nervous about finding a new place.<br />
I really love living here because the house suits me and is in a perfect location. We made our home as nice as we could and we have built our lives around it and so to move means having to start all over again. I am hoping to make it as easy as possible. I was upset at first but now am thinking of all of the good possibilities that may present themselves.<br />
<br />
My bro Danny passed on a little gem of advice which a lady told him, I believe it is a quote from Tony Robbins ~ "replace the word frustrating with fascinating".<br />
For example, "that person is really fascinating" or "I am finding looking for a new house really fascinating". I think it's a good one.<br />
Cleaning my office/ Mac Lab/ Social Media Control Centre in preparation for the open home was really fascinating, actually it really was. It's been messy for two years since I moved in, mostly too much stuff in boxes. I found so many cool things I had forgotten about when I was sorting it all out and threw away a lot of crap too. Now it is wonderful! Everything's organised, no more boxes, I'm enjoying it! If only for a couple of weeks before I have to pack it all in boxes again!<br />
