if only life were that simple
Our kids have grown with festivals.
It’s certainly a challenging experience with little ones especially if the weather’s bad.
More endurance than enjoyment.
But still we do it.
Come rain or shine.
We keep going back for more.
There is nothing quite like it.
WE LOVE IT!

If one more person asks me
‘Have you still got THAT DOG?’
I’m going to scream!!!!!
For those that know me, you’ll know that Hunny and I have had our moments in the last 3 years. To say she has challenged me is an understatement. I love her to the moon and back but we have struggled to find a happy balance that seems to come to others so naturally. She is spirited and I adore her for that.
Today is International Earth Day and we pledged to plant a tree over on the new KalliKids blog last week.
The kids had already added themselves to the Face of Climate campaign and we decided to make a green pledge.

I recently QUITE my dreadful guilty pleasure ebay (read about it here).
But on Friday I had the day off from life and found myself wandering in town twiddling my thumbs and accidentally (on purpose) stumbled in to a shoe shop.
Whoops! After hammering the plastic I managed to justify my spending by the fact that the soles of my lovely new shoes are made from 50% recycled plastic bottles (and they are oh so pretty and comfy!)
The Sun
Have you ever seen
anything
in your life
more wonderful
than the way the sun,
every evening,
relaxed and easy,
floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills,
or the rumpled sea,
and is gone–
A few words for all you lovely #PoCoLo people
(I heard this week that it’s not just OK to be weird, it’s great to be weird)
Some tips for practicing Mummy Kindness to ourselves and each other. Can you imagine a world where everyone observed this manifesto?!
The Mummy Kindness Manifesto
1) I will trust my own instincts.
2) I will feed my baby however suits me, my baby and my family. I will never judge another mother for how she chooses to feed her baby.

I went to see a screening of the Jeremy Irons movie Trashed on Thursday, as the 'finale' event of the Waste Watcher's challenge.
It makes for sombre viewing, and really should be compulsory viewing for each and everyone of us.
I don't expect many people really stop and think much about rubbish, but when you do, you realise that it really is EVERYTHING.
My little ray of sunshine
I watch you sleeping in your bed
Your little mind peacefully resting
Exhausted from the world around

…there’s a place that i dream of, once in a lullaby.
Four and a half years, every night without fail, I sang this song to my little Daisy. But then number 2 daughter arrived. BAM! I tried to spread my attention between them at bed time but it became easier for me to take care of baby and leave Daisy to her daddy.
