Weary Weekend


This past weekend for us was occupied mainly with a trip to the hospital, a visit to the after hours GP and trying to comfort Grace who's been unwell. She's fine thankfully and just had a virus which she's beginning to recover from. The photo above shows our little chicken on the bike we bought for her during the week.

Yesterday, we also had to do a bit of furniture shuffling as our new skirting boards will be getting installed on Tuesday and the carpenter needs one metre clearance around all the walls. Also, we got the piano - it is currently carefully covered in blankets in our garage until our new carpets are laid in a few weeks.

How did you all spend your weekend?

  2. Poor little Grace - I'm glad she is starting to feel better. Looks like she enjoys her new bike. I had to work over the weekend unfortunately but it was nice and sunny. Sounds like it was colder in WA this morning than here in Tas - hopefully not too long before your new heater goes in :)

  5. Amanda I'm sorry to hear that Grace has been unwell. There's nothing as worrying as when your child is sick, especially when they are so young! I hope she is feeling better soon, make sure you rest when she is sleeping also. It's exhausting having an unwell child. Love her little trike! She looks pretty happy to be getting a push!! And I just noticed how long her legs are!! She's just gorgeous. Hope you have a good day today and it's exciting to hear your skirting boards are getting put in and the carpet is not too far away.

  6. Poor Grace, it's horrid when kiddies are sick, hope she's better soon :)

    I had a lovely quiet weekend with the kids as Mike was away. Spent Sat night on the couch with a chick flick and chocolate, it was bliss!

    Have a great week :)

  10. I remember when our Sophia was that small & she wasnt well for a few days it is heart wrenching, hope she is on the mend & able to enjoy her new bike. We were given an old piano years ago , the kids have a great time on it. Sophia actually started lessons when she was 4 , unfortunately the piano is so out of tune etc. we need to update for her to continue learning.
    Hope this week is better.

  15. Poor little Gracie darling!!! That must have been heartbreaking. I hate seeing little ones sick. I'm so glad she's feeling better and her bike is the pink version of Will's one! Looks like she's enjoying it as much as he does! Give Gracie Girl a big hug from me and Will.

  17. Hello Amanda -

    So lovely to see your blog and pics of your family! I love your blog and went through lots of your old posts.

    I loooooooove the yellow themed posts and I looooooooove the pic of the yellow, birdie decals on Grace's wall. Every time that you walk in there you must feel a sunny sense of joy! So refreshing - so perfect. Well done, I love that look.

    Grace is a pretty little poppet. I remember all to well, those trips to the GP and the hospital when Lil was a bubba. This too shall pass, but it is so tiring. You are doing so well, to continue blogging, being a devoted Mummy and wife, whilst still being creative and inspiring. Hang in there honey.

    I shall continue to follow your blog with interest. I am really interested in Mummy's who have little bubbas and continue to blog, and be creative and keep their sanity.

    Hopefully, that will be me, one day again soon. (Pregnant I mean).

    You are doing a fabulous job, juggling it all.

    Incidentally, I holidayed in Western Australia some years ago and your coastline, Momkey Mia, Coral Bay and the reefs - were exquisite. What a beautiful place you live in.
