Watch Out! I Am Armed & Dangerous With A Dymo Label Maker {And I Have One To GIVEAWAY Too!!!}
Written by commonchaoschronicle
CONFESSION TIME……
Forgive me readers for I have sinned…. Well I probably just haven’t expressed how deep my love for all things stationary really is. I may have skimmed the subject before but it truly is a love affair that has been with me since childhood.
You know, it may even cross the line into OBSESSION.
I LOVE STATIONERY!!!
Oh now that feels so much better…. Glad I got that off my chest because now I can tell you all about my latest toy [...]

Feeding The Monsters For A Month – Meal Planning Around the New Arrival.
Written by commonchaoschronicle
I recently wrote on the Common Chaos Chronicle Facebook Page, about how I had managed to plan enough meals to feed our family for around a month.
Meal planning is normally a fortnightly thing here at Chaos HQ, but with the baby arriving in less than a week and the school holidays also almost upon us again, I decided that I would give monthly planning a go.
Planning for a month would normally be impossible for us as we budget [...]

SHOPPING? Don’t Mind If I do…. My Local Stockland Hits The Spot {+ AN AWESOME GIVEAWAY}
Written by commonchaoschronicle
There are a few things that I classify myself as exceptionally ‘GOOD AT’.
One of them would be whinging. I seem to really excel at that. Ask anyone that knows me….
The other would have to be SHOPPING!!!
I love it, I can’t get enough. I could wander around for hours on end in a shopping center, umming and ahhing and wishing I had unlimited funds.
For me shopping has a stress reducing effect. It relaxes me and frees my mind of worry. Even [...]

A while back I wrote a blog post about some craft goals that I wanted to achieve before our new baby arrived.

Creating New Play Experiences In The Chaos Toy-Room!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
One of my goals to complete before the arrival of the next little member of the MonsterSquad was to complete a ‘change around’ of the toy room.
Why? Why? Why? moaned Monster Squad Dad….
Ok, so it’s not like it was a small job, and he did instantly catch the drift that any heavy lifting would become his problem, but all the same, creating new play experiences keeps the monsters interested and keen for a play session.
While I see his point that [...]

Cooking Chaos Style – BULK LASAGNE!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
There has been many a time where I have just not been organised enough to have a decent meal prepared each night.
My worry with adding another baby to the chaos mix is that I’ll be even less organised.
So I have decided to get my act together and start cooking and preparing food in bulk. Well as much as my 2 little freezers will allow anyway.
If anyone knows anyone who is a PR rep for a freezer company, send them our [...]

Botani Olive Skin Serum – Giving Me That Pregnant Glow! + GIVEAWAY!
Written by commonchaoschronicle
When I escape the confines of Chaos HQ, I often have people telling how wonderful my skin is looking, and lately I have been fielding off many comments about my glorious ‘Pregnant Glow’.
The sad truth is, while I had what some would call ‘perfect’ skin during my teenage years, my breakouts, dry spots and red marks all appeared after I started having children.
So I must admit there has been a bit of a secret behind the pregnant glow this time. [...]
