http://themerrymummy.blogspot.com/2010/11/getting-organised-with-christmas.html
Becoming older, wiser and somewhat calmer one sleep-deprived day at a time. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Getting Organised with a Christmas Planner. First up, sorry for the delay in posts. With a trip to Fiji, my (very) big birthday bash, my cousin's wedding and the usual busy-ness (if that's a word) that is being a mumma to two toddlers, things have been a little ker-azy around here. But, I digress. Confession time: I've never. To get your own Christmas planner started, here's a few simple steps:.

The Merry Mummy: January 2011
http://themerrymummy.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Becoming older, wiser and somewhat calmer one sleep-deprived day at a time. Tuesday, January 18, 2011. So far in my children's short lives, I've kept the amount of times we have. To paint to an absolute minimum, preferring to keep any messy craft activities as an exclusive part of their preschooling/daycare experience. Truth be told, there's just something about the thought of my kids being let loose near paint that sends me into a cold sweat. 1 Have everything ready - This means getting your paints, pap...

Becoming older, wiser and somewhat calmer one sleep-deprived day at a time. Friday, June 24, 2011. Writing Letters to Your Children. Today I have started a tradition that I hope I can keep up. I wrote my first letter to my future, grown up daughter. My letter also discusses her excitement about turning 5 next month, the party we have planned and her current door slamming tantrum style. So why write a letter for your children? It strengthens the connection between you and your child. It expresses your dre...

The Merry Mummy: Tis The Season (For Tomatoes and Berries)
http://themerrymummy.blogspot.com/2010/12/tis-season-for-tomatoes-and-berries.html
Becoming older, wiser and somewhat calmer one sleep-deprived day at a time. Sunday, December 12, 2010. Tis The Season (For Tomatoes and Berries). A new subject that holds a lot of interest for me, is seasonal eating. Among the growing list of things we can easily do to reduce our environmental impact (and be healthier people) is eat fruits and vegetables that are currently in season. There's a number of reasons why eating seasonally makes a lot of sense:. 1 In-season produce has a higher nutritional value.

I then had the realisation *insert lightbulb moment here* that I could essentially 'create' my own events to look forward to. This would help make every moment, even the little ones, become an exciting event that I can prepare for, involve my kids with, countdown towards and ultimately enjoy the buzz that comes with celebrating the big day. 1 Write a list of 12 activities.

So, this will be one (among many) of my missions to complete in the coming days: To create a Weekly 'Lesson' plan for my children with the goals I mentioned above included. This schedule will be pretty comprehensive once household chores, appointments and even...

Becoming older, wiser and somewhat calmer one sleep-deprived day at a time. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Medicine Charts for Sick Kids. Dealing with sick, cranky kids is never pleasant. And in our house, sick kids = a poor night's sleep. A poor night's sleep = an extra forgetful mummy. With my own little poppet battling a very nasty chest infection, I created a Medicine Chart to a). remind me to give her the medicine and b). keep track of each dosage given. How To Create Your Own Medicine Chart:. 2 Add Your...
