These boots were made for walking...

Sara has a shoe fetish.. She is fascinated with shoes, whether they are mine or her fathers she loves to play with them, try them on and naturally attempt to walk in them. 

She must get this obsession from me!! 

Much to her fathers horror I'm sure all he sees is his little girl, growing up way too fast and potentially the amount of money she will cost him in the future when she starts to want her own collection of shoes like just mummy!

Yesterday Sara decided that my boots were her favourites and she clumsily as first stomped around the house in them, gradually becoming more and more confident as she went until finally she had had enough of them. 

Rain, Rain, GO Away!!

For the third time this month we have had torrential rain in Melbourne.. And for the third time our backyard has flooded.

We live on a hill so we expect some run off from the property at the rear of us, which is higher up than ours, but when we have 4 or more gushing water features added by an overflowing storm water drain that just cant cope... that's not expected and I'm NOT happy!t

Have you had any similar experiences this year with this crazy Melbourne weather??

The love of a family is life's greatest blessing..

I designed our famlily Christmas Cards today.

I am so very please with them, as I've chosen three of my favourite photos of Sara to go on the front of them as she is the light of our lives.

Christmas is a time for being thankful for what you have and being with your family so why not share these wonderful images of her with everyone.

How personal is too personal?

I "think" about things, people, conversations, my husband, daughter and family a lot more than I used to these days. Probably more than I talk to anyone actually.

Sometimes I feel like I just have nothing to say and other times I could talk for days... 

I am usually a massive talker, an email and a texter and I most definitely wear my heart on my sleeve. Although this can be endearing at times can also be a downfall.  I have been told I tell people too much about my life, I talk about things that annoy or please me freely even if its close to home as I like to share my life with others...

But how much is too much, how personal is too personal for a blogging site?

How do you know that your personal life wont be compromised by some nasty reader out for no good OR will it even attract any readers being your life and not overly very interesting at all really?

I read a blog recently that had this quote in it which made me sad for the writer:

"I'm so boring, I've stopped talking"

OMG .... Is this what's happened to me?  
Have I become so engrossed in motherhood that this is all I can talk about?
