geek parenting done right
I cannot believe I’m already at my November Love List. God is it just me or has this year just gone super fast? We are now in prime don’t-go-to-Westfield Christmas countdown. I’m on my second to last love list for the year and I started thinking about the primary reason why I started doing them […]
One of my favourite Christmas traditions has always been the office Secret Santa. I love the challenge of buying a present for someone I don’t really know that well. Just when I felt like I had it in the bag, my work threw a spanner into the works. This year, instead of being allocated a person, […]
Happy Blogaversary to me!!!! Happy Blogaversary to me!!!! I can hardly believe that I’ve been doing this for a whole year now. I’ve so enjoyed getting to know you all and have loved building my little corner of the internet. It hasn’t exactly been a smooth year though, and I’ve definitely learned some lessons from […]
When I first thought of this topic, I thought the day that changed your life would have to be something huge. Like meeting my husband, and knowing that I would never feel alone again. Or maybe the day I graduated high school and finally entered the ‘real world’. Or even the day I found out […]
After last years Santa photo debacle, we are trying to gently introduce Bear to the concept of Santa Claus. To that end, we’ve been introducing Christmas books and movies, so he can see Santa as a benevolent figure and not someone to be frightened of. I’ve already talked Christmas books on the blog, so today […]
While I appreciate that the holidays are pretty much all about the unhealthy food, I have a particular loathing for the chocolate inside advent calendars. Life is just too damn short for cheap chocolate. This is the first year that Bear is old enough for an advent but he really is too young for chocolate, so I […]
Oh my god you guys. Is it just me or did Christmas come way faster this year? I feel like I just turned around at Easter and boom, I’m locating ornaments and planning Christmas lunch. While we read to Bear year round, I do enjoy bringing the Christmas books into the rotation, if only to […]
Hey October. You were pretty awesome but you went by real fast. What’s up with that dude? You’re supposed to be my buffer between the craziness of my kid’s birthday and the mad panic to start getting ready for Christmas. Not cool. Let’s take it a bit slower next year thank you. Let’s follow October’s […]
It comes as no secret that we are a bit of a geeky family, but we take it to new heights when it comes to anything Marvel Comics. I’m fairly certain my son’s act of teenage rebellion will probably be dressing up as Superman for Comic Con. Despite this obsession, neither myself or my husband […]
The greatest tragedy of my life is that Halloween wasn’t celebrated in Australia until I hit my twenties. I was smack bang in the middle of my all black wearing, Tim Burton worshipping, emo phase when the kids first started trick or treating so I’ve never gotten to bob for apples un-ironically. Once you have […]
