We love summer and spending time with our family on the sunshine coast. It’s hard to beat an afternoon at the beach with cousins! Enjoying time on the coast together has become a bit of a summer tradition and so has coming up with a fun summertime activity that everyone can participate in and make some good memories creating. This year my sister in law and I decided that activity would be rock painting! Continue reading West Coast Rock Painting

Coffee. Apparently this sums up summer!!!
I mean we did encourage her to keep a journal over the summer break. I just didn’t expect it to go in quite this direction.
Honourable mention about my two cup a day summer coffee habit, is arguably note worthy of course. I mean it doesn’t get much more fun than that when we discuss summer break now does it?! But is it really too much to ask that I don’t look drunk with my coffee, and struggling to stay upright on my chair in the sunshine?!
Well this gem of a picture prompted some inquiries as to what mama puts in her coffee… (cream and sugar, thank you very much). HA. Thanks kid. Nothing like looking drunk on your coffee to start off a new school year on the right foot!
“No, I do not have drinking problem. Yes, I love coffee. Yes, we did some amazing things this summer. No, I did not make my children watch me drink coffee all summer long…”

Along with all the hype and fervour that comes with crazy hair day in this house. We generally make some sort of sweet treat for the class. We have a hard time celebrating any momentous occasion or day with out cake or cookies of some sort (and to our eldest daughter, crazy hair day is very momentous).

So cue the crazy hair day cookies! Continue reading Crazy Hair Day Cookies
