My commiserations @thejennigirl. Round here we are too tall and busty!

I didn’t really have a choice on the bag Heidi as it was the last day of school yesterday it was imperative or the recipient would have gone without her gift. I was going to make some decorated hair accessories but I just didn’t have the time. As it was the hour at night after the kids were in bed and the husband was showered (yes I have to help…[Read more]

All this sewing so fantastic! Everyone is very productive at the moment which is pretty great!

I actually made something last night. It was a gift for Noah’s Secret Santa at school. They were studying recycling as part of their unit and so the gift had to be made from recycled products. What better than a size 6 pair of jeans I had in the upcycle…[Read more]

Free dress day at school tomorrow marking the end of the school year. I received the reports for my children today and was thrilled to see such an improvement in marks especially from Noah. He got the award for the highest mark in Humanities and Social Science. Very very proud of my boy. He’s matured so much this year. The only disappointment was…[Read more]

No you are not bronging the thread down, total honesty is what I read in your message. It can be very difficult to stay focussed on the positive when things get very tough and I do like your motto, a very good one to abide by I think.

We practise affirmations and visualisations at home and it has helped us enormously. Yet we are all human and we…[Read more]

I typically try to focus on the positive, even if the best I can muster is, ‘however hard I have it somebody else for sure has it much worse.’ I remember losing sleep and having awful anxiety about nuclear war as a kid. Just want to preserve my child’s innocence for as long as I can, heaven knows it won’t last forever. Sorry to bring the thread…[Read more]

@sarvi I saw this on the news as I woke up this morning and thought of you! I don’t know many people in that area of the world.

I too sincerely hope it is a hoax but in this day and age we have nothing left but to be alert all. the. time and it is quite exhausting. No one wants to be scared all the time (it is hard enough when you suffer from…[Read more]

Thank you, Nicole. After recent events nearby it’s really chilling. The contrast between the sweetness of the sentiment in the song, sung in a small child’s voice, and the sometimes-darkness of the adult world is hard to bear right now.

@ginny3wI am so glad you got the right advice, I can’t wait to see what you do.

Thank you @liesl

Oh Sarvi, I am so sorry.

You did just the right thing, no need to scare such a young child. A ‘facility’ issue is the perfect reason.

Huge hugs.

All the schools in our local area were shut down today due to a bomb threat (which I fervently hope is only a hoax). My kid was in tears at not getting to perform in her school’s holiday show. I told her there was a facilities issue at the school. She told me that since there wouldn’t be a holiday show, she could sing the surprise song, the one…[Read more]
