The Big Plan….

Written by commonchaoschronicle

This morning I woke feeling very average. Seems my recent plaster sanding efforts have induced what feels nothing less than a fierce dose of Bronchitis. I’m struggling to breathe, my nose cant make up it’s mind if its running or blocked and I feel like I have a tonne of bricks on my chest.

Obviously, rest is out of the question. Mum’s just aren’t allowed to get sick!

It is so typical for me to fall ill when I’m in the middle [...]

Written by commonchaoschronicle

Respect.

It has recently been brought to my attention that I waste a lot of my time and worry on people that clearly do not respect me.

While I am working through the process of dealing with such issues, I feel the need to have a little rant and get it off my shoulders!

But first a little conflict in my thought process…..

Ok, I was raised in a loving environment where it was expected that children would show respect [...]

Written by commonchaoschronicle

On Saturday the 21st May we celebrated Zafirah’s 6th Birthday with a Princess Party.

Now for those of you that know Miss Zaf personally, you will well know that there was no options involved in planning such event, I was just to do as I was told!!! LOL

So I hired our local Girl Guide Hall, and got to work planning a gala event.

Setting up the hall!

I used disposable plastic tablecloths to hide the guide’s pin boards [...]

Jai Turns 7 – The Lego Party!

Written by commonchaoschronicle

On the 15th of May 2011 we celebrated Jai’s 7th Birthday with a Lego Themed Party.

Now when I asked Jai what kind of party he wanted, I would have put a bucket load of money on a Transformers theme or even a Ben 10 set up, but no, the boy insisted that Lego was the only way to go. And there was no convincing him otherwise!!!

So I racked my brain for several hours on how I would accomplish such a [...]

Aria Turns 7 – The Pony Party!!!

Written by commonchaoschronicle

On the 14th of may we celebrated Aria’s 7th Birthday with a Pony Party!

Here’s how our afternoon went:

Setting the Birthday Table!

I printed out a place-mat type image on my home printer and laminated each one to decorate the table. I added serviettes, a fork, a spoon and a cup. I placed the small plates in the centre of each place-mat.

 

Our Backdrop.

I hung a $2 plastic table cloth as a backdrop [...]

Well I have made it back to the land of blog, better late than never!

While I would love to indulge you all in tales of journeys afar, and other breathtaking experiences, I should probably just tell it like it is.

These last few weeks have been crazy!!!!!

I have been up to my ears in party stuff, renovating, DIY, housework, family, you name it it’s probably [...]

Double Trouble = Double BIRTHDAY Fun!

Written by commonchaoschronicle

On the 10th of May my eldest babies turned 7.

SEVEN!!!!! Where have those years gone?

As shattering as it was to awake and realise that they’re not going to be little for much longer, I was excited to see them rip open their pressies with delight!

Here are a few photos from their Birthday Morning….

The cakes they took to school!

 

Present Time!

 

I reckon they're happy with that!
