Five Favs

Pip is back again with Five Favourites so I am going to add mine for the lack of anything better to post right now.

1. My dog Juneau - She is a Norwegian Elkhound & is just so good with BJ for one thing. But she is just so lovable & cuddly. She loves to be around us & enjoys the good days when we can all play together outside.

2. Burt's Bees Lip Balm - A must have this winter with that horrid wind that dries your lips out the instant you walk out the door. If you haven't tried it, then do. I found it at a pharmacy with all their other cool stuff. This is my favourite of the things in the sample set I bought.

3. Julie & Julia - Ok, I only got the dvd today & I haven't watched it yet but I am sure I will love it.

4. Amazing Race - The new season just started this week. I just watched it this afternoon. I really enjoy this show. Maybe it will annoy me much less than the current Heroes & Villans Survivor does!

5. Survivor - Heroes & Villans - Ok, as much as those dumb people annoy me, I still have to watch it. I don't watch much else as we only have a couple of channels we can see so some days I even have to watch this from waves or snow! Plus these shows are my only grown up shows these days as mostly the tv has kids stuff on it!

So there you go! Just on a side note though, a couple of sets of blocks are now back in my madeit shop too & hopefully in a few days there will be some more. Thanks to my kind & helpful block cutters once more! I would be in trouble without those people!

Five Favs

1. Coca Cola cupcakes - These are just the coolest thing.


Check out Bakerella for these & other terrific cool ideas! I need to go & find a bunch of Aussie substitutes for the stuff they use on all the cakes, but these cola ones are awesome. Being a collector of coke things I am really in awe! Also terribley jealous of these cool bottles. They were obviously only a special type in the USA in 2008. Oh well, another thing for me to find one day to add to the collection.

2. Day-O by the Wiggles - Sad but true. If I could work out how to put the clip from youtube on here I would but that will be a job for another day. It's pretty cute though. We have just opened the dvd with this on it. "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" - complete with special guest Leo Sayer (which isn't necessarily a favourite but it adds some more interest to it I guess!)

3. Sunny Days - bit of a lack of these at the moment but it is easier to let the kid play outside a bit during the day to use up some of that energy.

4. Clever people in blogland - the people that make pretty blog apparel for you to wear on your blog to make yourself look more interesting! Thanks to clever people in blogland!

5. Homegrown food - Just spent an hour juicing apples. How cool. Didn't make a dent in the apples we have though. Picked some capsicums & chopped them to freeze. Picked some spinach. Will probably have that with the Lamb Pot Pie out of the current issue of Donna Hay mag for dinner. Have the beetroot boiling on the stove right now.

Five Faves

Five favourites for this week? Tricky! Can I come up with 5 after the week I've had? Let's see...

1. Crochet - An easy thing to pick up & create inbetween other stuff, even for 5 minutes of R'n' R & sanity.

2. Books - that you can read while you have a kid laying on you for a few hours cos he is too grumpy or sick or just plain horrible & he can't do anything else right now!

3. The Library - for a new supply of Wiggles dvds for the long weekend for a bit of variety.

4. The Wiggles - ok, if you don't have kids & haven't really watched any of them, they really are quite a talented bunch, who really put a lot of effort into the more recent dvds they have out & they really are quite entertaining (the first time round - not so much after the 7th time) for big people too! & hey, we just watched the special one with the Pink Wiggle (Kylie!!!). A rather entertaining song! lol

5. Long weekends - Extra good is a long weekend with DAD home - Yay!!! Especially great with a sick, grumpy or just plain horrible kid so you have someone else to help you out. (when kid allows help from someone other than the mum that is!!! )
