As you can see from my photo, I am verrrry mysterrrrrrious. Actually, I was at a wedding and one of the favours was a pretty little Chinese fan. Shhhh. *ahem* Right now I am experiencing day 239 (at least it feels like it) of stir craziness, due to the non stop gift that keeps on giving, which is the Little Mister’s winter day care illnesses. Which is a little frustrating when blogging about your life usually involves having one in the first place! So I thought I would just throw together a bunch of random facts about me. Because this is the one spot where everything can be all…

I want one.
Last month, my brother went to Melbourne and I had to do some cat sitting for a few days (he was already cat sitting for my parents – so basically outsourcing his job – terrible). He told me that if I was so kind, he would bring me home a gift. It didn’t take me long to decide on what I wanted. image source It was perfect timing, really. This beautiful baby had just arrived at the Melbourne zoo! It’s like it was meant to be! I have always wanted a pygmy hippo. They’re so adorable. Hello, they’re like normal hippos but smaller! Like, they’re only 180-275kg when they’re…

I have an announcement.
*drum roll* You may not know this, but this week we added another member to our family! A gorgeous puppy. I’ve never seen the puppy and the Little Mister in the same room for some reason, but I know they’d love each other if they ever met. This furry member of the family entered our lives last Tuesday. I thought it might just be a one day thing at first, but he seems really happy with us and he’s stuck around. The crazy thing? This puppy (who the Little Mister has named after one of our other dogs – original) is the most obedient and well trained creature I’ve ever…

Broken…the rules.
This post was supposed to be inspired by Fat Mum Slim’s September Photo a Day challenge, but I kind of failed today – oops! x OK, so this isn’t a new photo. It’s a photo from a while ago that was taken on a nice beach day with Mr Unprepared and the Little Mister. Just think the opposite of today’s weather over here. At least there’s a broken shell in it? Because the prompt for today was ‘broken’? Gosh, I tried really hard to think of creative photos I could take. Due to the pretty crazy wind/rain storm overnight, I thought maybe there’d be something to take a photo of (although…

The secret life of Jimmy Giggle?
pic Since having the Little Mister in my life, I have been exposed to the crazy world of children’s television programming. Never have I been haunted by so many catchy theme songs (read: annoying/earwormy) and high pitched character voices. I now know far more about these shows than I would even care to admit. You know that everything’s taking a downhill slide when you know more about the songs on Play School than what’s playing on the radio for the grown ups (if you’re me at least). If you’re an anti-TV parent, please look away now (after noting that the Little Mister’s TV diet is set at reasonable limits and…

I have some very bad news…
OK, guys. Something really wrong has been brought to my attention. I have some bad news. I’m not going to New York in a few days. I mean, I kind of knew I wasn’t because I haven’t planned to travel or anything, but I’m not going. And this is wrong. Want to know what else is wrong(er)? My brother is. Which might be fair enough, seeing as he planned an actual trip to New York in the first place, but I’m not going and therefore I’m feeling a little bit miffed. I HAVE TRAVEL ENVY. So… Being the great sister I am, I will share with my brother my broad…
