Crash-Test-Mummy-of-the-week

Good morning Crash Test Mummies!  This a rare weekend post for me, but I figured you might have a little more time on the weekend to do me a favour. In my vlog yesterday I mentioned I wanted to get to know you better, in fact I’d like the whole community to get to know [...]

tandoori-marinated-chicken-carrot-salad-couscous

OK, so I’m probably sounding a bit cocky here!  But I have to say that I think I’ve nailed this whole no sugar thing.  CrashHubby and I are at the end of week 4 (half way!) and so far neither of us have suffered any major withdrawal symptoms. Nor have we threatened to bite each [...]

Challenge Update: Reaching new heights

Laney-CrashKids-Mt-Buffalo

As I’m writing this, we have just returned from a 4 day trip to Mt Buffalo. It was hot and then it stormed on our last night – wet camp pack up, yuk! Regardless of the rain at the end, the whole family had a brilliant time. We enjoyed catching up with old friends, watching [...]

heart-shaped-lollipop

“All you need is a heartfelt reason” Yesterday I started my Sugar Crash Challenge – an 8 week program to quit sugar by Sarah Wilson.  I’m completely freaking out because I love sugar and I’m afraid of failing – very publicly.  But I’m also excited because people are joining me in the challenge.  I won’t [...]

You’ve got to accentuate the positive . . .

Beautiful CrashGirl “You’ve got to accentuate the positive Eliminate the negative Latch on to the affirmative Don’t mess with Mister In-Between” So the song says, and I’m inclined to agree.  I just need to follow through! I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been feeling a bit blah about the start of the New [...]

CrashKids-wearing-Tidalik-frog-masks

Sponsored by Nuffnang Long ago in an Aboriginal Creation story, Tiddalik, the largest frog ever known, awoke one morning with a huge thirst. He started to drink and drank until there was no fresh water left in the world. I can identify with this frog, I felt like this when I awoke from the anaesthetic [...]

I’m waking up in a hotel on Saturday!

My new Crash Test Mummy

I’m sooooooooo excited.  CrashHubby really spoiled me this Christmas.  These are my pressies: Gorgeous seashell wall hanging   Scrumptious Aesop facial and body cleanser for pampering   My new Crash Test Mummy says, “Hi!”   I was pretty chuffed with that lot.

Today I cleaned – a lot.  This is why:   Keeping it real for you on Wordless Wednesday.  Linking up with Trish at My Little Drummer Boys. Nothing is perfect, least of all my house ;) Laney x

2012 – where did you come from?

welcome_to_the_future

I’ve been a bit busy lately, as you might have noticed from the new digs.  So, somehow 2012 crept in without me giving the impending new year the same attention I usually do. Usually I’ve bought my new diary and wall calendar. Usually I’ve written my New Year’s Resolutions after being disgusted at not achieving [...]
