A little House Update

It is hard to go back to everyday life with so much still going on around our city but we 

went up to see the latest on the house build.

Finally things seem to be moving along and may even have a roof by the end of next week.

The downstairs windows have started going in and even a little linear board.

Hubby is very happy.

Baked Relief - Helping Hands

My lovely new friend has started something wonderful over on her blog.

I was feeling like I wanted to do something to help with the disaster around our beautiful  city.

We have only lived in Brisbane for 2 yrs but already feel a very strong attachment and watching as people are losing everything is heartbreaking.

But with 3 kids at home, one being only 3 I thought we would be a hindrance rather than a help.

I was reading my blog roll this morning to check up on how some of the Brisbane bloggers were doing and found out about Digella's great effort.  She has started a Baked Relief for the SES volunteers who are grouping together filling sandbags and helping people in need.

So I pulled out my apron this morning and whipped up a batch of mixed berry muffins and dropped them in to the Stafford Works Depot in  Kedron.

They were received with thanks.  

So if you would like to do something pop over to Digella to get the details on how to help.

Everything counts not matter how small.

Hope everyone is dry and safe.

Happy New Year.

Ok, so maybe being a Sydney girl I may be a bit bias, but the New Years Eve Fire Works

in Sydney were quite spectacular.

The kids got to go with their Aunty and Uncle to watch the 9pm show while I stayed at home

looking after my little man who had a bad case of impetago which put a downer on our holiday.

A big Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl, Ruby is 9 today.

We spent the day yesterday shopping and lunching and today she is having a friend over

for a sleepover.

It wouldn't be a new year with out some New Years Resolutions.

1. Be more organized :-)

2. Try to balance work and home better

3. Loose weight ( again)

4. Spend lots of time doing things I love with lovely people

Looking forward to a great new year.

Now if the rain could please stop so we can get our house built that would be great.

And a little prayer to all the people who are suffering from the floods.

Happy Monday.

Almost a roof.

We were due to have our roof put on today but the storms this week have put us behind.

I haven't been down to the house this week but here are a few little pics I took last weekend

inbetween all  the end of year and Christmas chaos.

The roof trusses have gone on so will take some more pics this weekend.
