On The Market

Yay! Our house is finally on the market: http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?id=103088265&a=qfp&cu=&t=res&q=Go if you want ot have a look!

Took a while but it's out there now.

Jazmin is pulling up on things now, it looks like she will be waking soon.

Doing pretty well, Justin has appointments in Mudgee over the next couple of days.

My brother Murray will be coming down to stay with us the week before Easter, which will be good.

Gosford

Sitting in Gosford library atm, and Justin is in an appointment. We've been pretty busy. On Sunday we had our house appraised, we are intending to sell it soon and probably move to Queensland. Yesterday we were in Sydney city, and had a job finding parking because a lot of the streets were blocked off due to the Queen's visit. After Justin's appointments we went back to Chatswood and I had a stroll round Chatswood Westfields. Not much else going on, just getting the house looking spic and span for inspections soon to come after we pay the solicitor to draw up a contract for us. In the meantime we're packing things up, and giving things back to their rightful owners etc; in some ways it's good to move, it means that there is less time to accumulate useless junk that is never going to be used. Justin and I had an agreement when we got married that we would not allow the other to become a hoarder, which seems to have paid off because there is not too much stuff to throw out.

The Mighty Toddler

Well I finished that massive book. It's ok but I can't say I agree with a lot of the parenting philosophies presented in it. I guess everyone just has to find what works for them. I am looking forward to reading "What to expect the toddler years" as soon as I can get my hands on a copy.

Self Confessed Coffee Geek!

New link (see right) for coffeegeek.com.

I have decided, as evidenced by my previous post, to take my coffee making seriously and learn how to do it properly!

"Life is too short to drink bad coffee" ...I'll drink to that!

Culinary Adventures

Busy weekend! We had anice lunch up at Barry and Joan Bowen's place on Saturday. Jazmin is now allowed full cream cow's milk, but not yet as a substitute for formula. Justin gave her some ice-cream and jelly on Saturday, which she loved! And this morning she had weetbix and milk for breakfast. She didn't have much of that, but I think that was more because she was already full. She usually has a piece of toast while I eat my breakfast, so keeps us both happy.

I am reading a book called "The Mighty Toddler" which is quite good so far. I know there's still a little way to go before Jazmin is one, but it never hurts to be prepared. Forewarned is forearmed......sometimes I wish that was "four-armed" though!

We had an awesome homemade iced mocha yesterday, and I thought I'd post up the recipe.

And she's off!

Jazmin can crawl properly now, as of yesterday and is getting around well. She's pulling up on more stuff too and enjoying standing.
