My BIG canvas arrived – yay! Not sure if it will stay here above the table but for now I’m just loving being able to see all the time. It’s just like having a massive photo stuck on your wall. I see more of these in my future – might turn the entire house into a massive gallery.
Did you know it was International Teachers Day last Friday? Well luckily the president of our local PFA did and rallied the troops to make morning tea. Dug out the never fail carrot cake recipe. It wins my award for the best dang recipe ever. Easy and never fails to impress. Just sucks that I’m no longer supposed to eat walnuts (because they stop the hypothyroidism medication from being absorbed). Will have to swap to pecan next time 
A selfie of little pink and me doing the nightly bus stop. We’re pretty cute hey! Gets boring waiting for that school bus – so we usually end up playing on the camera. Excuse the water mark – decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow that any pics of the kids on here needed to either be water marked or non-identifiable. I know, it’s probably overkill, but it helps me sleep at night.
Like many other mums of pinks (and some blues) it’s ballet recital o’clock around here. This morning we headed off for the official photos – which means ballet hair. I love playing with the girls hair – but frankly I’m crap at doing the official bun. Gel, Gel and more Gel – that’s my motto. Two more rehearsals to go. Talking to the other mums today it became clear that seeing the photos of your kids all dressed up and looking so adorable kinda makes the whole ballet mum thing okay.
You know those nights when you just can’t face making tea? (Or maybe that just happens to me.) This is me making plastic cheese and tomato sauce and toasties for the girls for tea last night. A highly nutritious and balanced meal for growing girls – not! Yesterday was a great reminder that being perfect is not part of my parenting plan and frankly that’s just fine.

The canvas looks gorgeous above the table! I’m beginning to watermark mine too, truly understand your concerns. Looks like you had a great week

Thank-you Geradine
Yes – I just don’t like the idea of someone finding a pic of one of my girls and using it on there site. So I’m a bit careful like that. Don’t mind so much with my other shots – but my girls are different. Thanks for visiting – must return the visit now!

I might be strange, but I can’t wait until my little girl is big enough for ballet and recitals!

Oh it is adorable LittleWhiteDove – but the endless saturdays of getting ready get to you in the end. But, don’t let me put you off – it’s well worth it

I love the canvas Caz, I should get one of the girls done too, but the hardest part is deciding where to put it. xx

It’s really easy to do Jodi – but won’t win me any parent of the year awards. Both the little pinks LOVE IT. Big pink thankfully prefers baked beans. One healthy kids out of three – that’s okay hey!!

Haha I just saw your canvas and thought..I have seen that photo before. Hmmm then realised I saw it here last week. Opps! I can be a bit silly sometimes. It does look lovely. Great dinner too. That is a favourite at my place (both for kids and parents alike).

Yeah – I know – twice is a bit much for the same pic – but I was just so happy with it
Toasties are a lifesavers. But I probably should try to find something a little more nutritious to put in them hey.
