Our DIY outdoor chalkboardToday’s entry is not so much a post as it is just a way to showcase the latest addition to our outdoor play area… Our new mega sized outdoor chalkboard!
This past week has been all about snails.The children are always fascinated by the snails in our garden and ask endless questions about them.A couple of weeks back, one of my boys stumbled across a snail crawling along the ground.
A couple of weeks ago, I had posted this snapshot of these set of magnetic shapes I made on my Instagram. I received a few curious questions on how I made them.
And so Nathan’s very first day of kindergarten is over. It was a mixture of good, bad, sweet and sour. I think that so much happens throughout the day, it can be challenging for a little person to filter through it all.
These days my days are packed full to the brim. From the moment I wake up to the sound of Grace calling through the baby monitor and Nathan’s cheeky face peering at me over the edge of the bed… to the evening when I finally tuck them into bed and say goodnight.

Hi Serene!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my 'Food for Thoughts' post! Oooo, I love that Supernatural Childbirth book! Recommended to some friends when they were expecting too Smile As for the soup making, do make them more often and nope, we don't use salt at all though we do use the preserved veggie to get the saltiness in the soup Smile Hope to see you more often here!
Btw, I used to get my kiddos to play like yours in the bath tub, but too small and I bought a water pool instead and dump the toys in the pool and put the pool in our balcony. After play, I just drained the water and washed the balcony as well :P

Thanks for dropping by, Jenny. Your kids look so cute in those photos! I can tell from the big smile on your girl's face that she's having a ball in there. Yup, will definitely keep in touch and check out your little snippets and thoughts on your blog. Great to meet you!
DeleteMy little miss just loves the water! I can't keep her out. The sprinkler is the latest thing x
ReplyDeleteHi Tahlia! Thanks for dropping by. Totally agree about sprinklers... the screams of laughter coming from the backyard when we let the little one run around with the sprinkler are the loveliest sounds in the world! ^_^
Deletegorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Yvette! :)
DeleteMy kids love playing with water too! This is one of the things I do too, whenever I need time to get things done. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Ing! Yes, it's something only us mums can understand how those precious those 20-30 minute slots are!
Deletemy little one loves waterplay too! too bad we don't have a deck so if it's at home, it's usually during bath time only!
