Teary Start.

Yesterday was Cowboy's first day at school. He was so full of nerves and excitement in the morning he would not allow me to take his photo lol!

I new that he would/will LOVE school, he thrives on structure and routine and has a massive thirst for learning and knowledge. But he has a bad case of separation anxiety, well he use to.

He did have a few tears when i had to leave, but was happy for the teacher to take him for sit down time on the carpet. Me well of course i had tears! But because he wasn't so bad, i wasn't so bad. I did worry about him all day, he has a way of holding on to things and making you feel bad for something that happened days ago. So i was waiting for some sniggering when i picked him up.

But this is what greeted me....



I think he enjoyed his first day. He tried to tell me all about it, but too many things were swirling around in his head most of didn't make sense. He did teach me the Hokey Pokey lol. And exclaimed quite loud after that lesson that he was going back EVERY day to school, BUT not weekends cause that's when i get to see daddy.

I was very proud of him this morning, he backed up the second day with confidence, he hugged his teachers without hesitation and was happy for me to leave and for him to sit on the carpet and wait for the teacher to go through their morning board.. One BIG school boy now!!


I've been plodding along trying to get my products organised to try and sell..

I received my order of goodies today. So will be mixing, stirring and pouring over the next few days.




I had an idea the other week to sell these as well. Nice lil packs to go with a scrub or body wash! Although the organza bags i ordered are a little smaller than i expected. My fault didn't read the size properly before purchasing.. They can still be used though.. They have to be i have 100 of them!! LOL

Hope Blog Land is well!!

7 Days..

We have 7 days until our Cowboy starts Prep (school). He is very very excited! I'm very glad he is getting so excited about it. He has had a mixed bag of emotions over it the last few months. The actual first day, may be a different story. Grandma is coming to stay though and will look after Blue Eyes whilst I take him. As we've had over the years some separation anxiety for both boys. I really don't know how long I'll be at school with him the first day, so Grandma's help will be excellent!



Cowboy after getting his uniforms last week.. Super Duper Happy!!




I Finally got around to making some more Washing Gel, Lemon Eucalyptus, our clothes will smell great!


We've heard from a couple of people about a shop in Bundaberg called Nanna's Pantry. So we went to check it out yesterday.. It has now become my fave shop.






Both pictures are from Nanna's Pantry, they have all sugars, flours, dried fruit, lentils, beans the list goes on some standard and some organic. They make some of their own products i got us some of their peanut butter. They also have teas and coffee seeds/pods what ever they are called and will grind them too. A whole room of lollies as well, chocolate, nut mixes. We shall shop there often i think.




My New book, I've been told by Ben his dad wants to read this when I'm done, i better get reading then! Don't think I'll have any trouble he's a pretty interesting guy.




We went kayaking, fishing and prawning yesterday, for about 3 hours. Was excellent, I caught a baby shovel nose shark. Ben caught 2 baby bream and a heap of prawns in his cast net. Which turned into our dinner, Best prawns I've ever had! He is the best hunter gather and cook!!

Next weekend we have Ben's work Christmas weekend. So will sure to have some photo's to share! :-) xx

Up Way To Early.

Today is Saturday and for a change I have to work today, for most of the day... The manager has gone on holidays so they need some extra help. And tonight we have Ben's 10 year High School Reunion, the boys are going to my mums for the night. So I not only have a big day at work but will have a big night. So instead of getting some extra rest this morning, I'm awake and up at 5.30am....
I get Sunday off work, then have to work Mon-Fri next week. Not full days but still, for me who is not yet completely use to the working life yet again it makes for a big week!! There are quite a few things on in the area this weekend, so I'm secretly hoping that it's not very busy so i get an early mark... he he

But i am looking forward to tonight, our close friends are coming up and staying the night with us and I've bumped into a few of Ben's other old school classmates who have said they are going, so it should be a good lot of fun!

Hope your all planning for a great weekend :-)
