Icing Biscuits for Therapy

November 13, 2009

There are so many language goals you can target by simply playing with milk arrowroots, icing, food colours and some lollies. I tend to have the kids requesting the items them want into order to make the iced biscuits of their dreams.

November 9, 2009

The Tiniest Lucky Cats in the World

November 9, 2009

Sent in a parcel from Rish’s parents “just because”, these little guys are about as tall as my pinky fingernail is long. I’m thinking they will need to be blu-taked down in order to not get lost… they must be very lucky! They made me smile (and squeal a lil)

Diamant Hotel Sydney – Take 2

November 2, 2009

After the relatively disappointing visit to Sydney two months ago, Halloween weekend was the chance for everyone to make it up to us. Starting with the Diamant Hotel, Sydney… Wine and chocolates on arrival… Rish tells me the Lindt chocolates were yum. They smelled great! The room this time around was free, with the wine, [...]
