Freezer is FULL

Over the weekend I decided it was time to get organised! So I cooked some meals to freeze for lazy nights. I cooked: 4 Cottage Pies, 4 Lasagne's, 4 Mac Cheese, 2 Apple Crumbles. It was a very busy, messy weekend in the kitchen.
Now my freezer is FULL and there is no room for anything else. It makes getting the peas out the back very difficult.

Today hubby & I think that Isaac has hay fever! oh the joys! He had puffy runny eyes, and his nose was SO runny, I had to wipe it every 2minutes, and if I didn't, it got wiped on the sofa or my trousers. If it hasn't settled down by tomorrow I'm off to the chemist to get him some antihistamines.

Wooden Floors

I HATE vacuuming, but Isaac hates it even more, therefore it rarely gets done. The thing though, with wooden floors, is that the dust just gathers in big clumps around the edges of the rooms, or under cabinets.
So every time Isaac goes under the TV cabinet to get his 'lost' toys out, he pulls out a clump of dust, which i put in the bin... OK, fine, maybe sometimes I just shove it back under the cabinet.
So as well as having my goal of blogging once a week, perhaps I'll try and vacuum once a week too (not just when I have VIP guests over).

Babies, Gardens & More

Well, it's been nearly a month!? What happened to me?
I'm not sure why, but I've kinda lost my interest in the internet, just ask my MSN buddy! It's not that I'm doing anything more constructive with my days, I just literally sit on my ass and do NOTHING now :)
Although, I am now making a baby, which is hard work everyday. Baby is due on 6 April, one month before my toddler turns 2. We didn't time it very well, but we did think it would take a few months longer to get pregnant. 3 months of trying wasn't much, especially when it took us over 2 years, and a miscarriage, to get Isaac.
I'm looking forward to the labour, as I know now that's the easy part. And the labour had better go as well as last time, or I'll be a bit annoyed.
Also in the last month I planted a few veges in some planters (photo above). I have tomatoes, which are thriving, strawberries and capsicums. Can you believe that ONE teeny tiny capsicum is $3 at the supermarket?! Who in their right minds would buy that?! I have resorted to buying the ones in jars.
I still have a bit of replanting to do with them, and need to buy some mesh so the birds don't eat my berries. And I have to keep an eye on Isaac, already he has tried to pull the plants apart, and I suspect in a few months he'll be pulling fruit/veges off before they are ready. Ahh, the joys of parenthood.
To feel more productive, and now that I think morning sickness is subsiding, I am going to blog once a week with a photo, or maybe two photos! See you next week.

Just for Nikki Noo Noo Too!!

So it's been a while and 'everyone' is missing me (I wish!).
A few weeks ago I decided I needed a change... my hair was getting longer and longer and rattier, I can't even remember the last time I had it cut. I have the BEST step-mother-in-law, who used to be a hairdresser, me and hubby get her to cut our hair. So in the weekend we went over and she cut all my hair off.
It's so much lighter, but still long enough I can JUST tie it back, and the best thing is, Isaac doesn't appear to want to yank on it anymore, so I'll be wearing my hair down more now.
It will take a couple of days to realise to use less shampoo/conditioner and hair product though... I went overboard this morning because I forgot I had half as much hair hehe
I'm going to go to bed early tonight I think, I hope. I'm about to go and have a cheese & ham toasted sandwich for dinner! YUMMY

It's been a while

I'm not sure why I'm so unmotivated to blog... But I am.
Maybe I think I have nothing to write about?
Maybe I actually don't have anything to say!

It's my (and hubby's) 6 year wedding anniversary tomorrow! So I made him book a hotel in town, which he actually did! So we are having a day out tomorrow, CHILDFREE!
We'll start with Lunch at a friends, then a movie, then dinner! Something we never get to do, well, we do movies and dinner, its just always on our own sofa, which is nicely moulded to our butts.

I am a bit worried it will take us 4hrs to get into town though, as the Newmarket overpass is all closed and there is going to be Auckland traffic chaos like never before! I'd better take a book and a camera and lots of food supplies!

PS I'm allowed Chocolate and ice cream again now! YAY! (actually, I kinda gave up on the 'no ice cream' a while ago, but still did no chocolate) So I just had a chunk of chocolate while watching New Zealands Next Top Model.

Domestic Queen

The other day a friend of mine told me she had just eaten pikelets! I haven't had pikelets in years! So I got off my butt and baked some for dessert that night.
I also baked cheese & ham scones, but I ate them too fast and didn't have a chance to take photos of them. I've never made scones, and this recipe only made 6 small sized ones, so I'll double the recipe next time. They came out beautifully though.
Now that I have the baking down, I need to master the cleaning the house thing, like cleaning the toilet, vacuuming, making the beds, dusting the tv, doing the washing before I need to wear it again.

Car Washing really is pointless

On Monday, I worked a half day at hubby's work, so Nana had Isaac. But after work, instead of going and seeing my son, I decided to go home and sort the house out. I vacuumed; A rare occurrence as Isaac is terrified of the thing! Then I washed my car... I have had my car about 14 months now and I think I have only been thru 2 drive thru car washes in that time. It was FILTHY! I washed it and came inside and got ready to go out to pick up Isaac. By the time I got outside to leave, the cats had walked thru the muddy water and jumped all over my bonnet! ARGH! and then to top things off, I drove over our grass (oopsy) and got stuck, so it now looks like I took my car to do donuts behind Mt Wellington Repco! Not that I know anyone who used to do that 10 years ago ;)
So that mud will be there for another 6 months I reckon.
