The sock monster had well and truly invaded my house, and left the carnage of matchless socks behind it. The children were growing out of their clothes at rapid speeds that I wasn’t keeping up with, and I was sure that one of my “angels” had been putting their clean clothes into the laundry hamper…hmmmm..
All this equaled MOUNT WASHMORE!
Peace has been restored on the laundry front, and here is how I did it:
- Buy multiple pairs of socks that are the same colour/pattern. This has saved my life!! No longer am I searching for the illusive striped or flower sock, I just need to find the similar coloured sock, and match away! I also put the socks in a mesh bag, which makes finding socks a lot easier (I put the mesh bag straight into the dryer too!). My friend pegs matching socks on the washing line and then folds them together when they dry to combat the sock monster. (Her sister was the one that got me onto buying multiples of socks…fountain of wisdom between the two I tell ya!)
- Have a holding bay for stray socks. Create a holding bay for your matchless socks. As a stray sock comes through the wash, check the “holding bay” to find a match. Purge the “holding bay” often! (It is not ok to have baby socks in your holding bay when your youngest is 3…yes I am speaking from experience!)
- Take it out of circulation. You KNOW the top is too small for them/too uncomfortable/they just don’t like it and they never wear it, so why does it continually turn up in your laundry pile, or your child’s drawer? As you sort your clean washing, and you come across something your child no longer wears, put it in one of these containers to 1.Store it (for the next child), 2.Donate it (get it out of your house asap), or 3.Sell it (get on trademe and make a bit of change), 4.Mend it, or 5.Throw it away…but whatever you do, DO NOT put it back into circulation!
- Get the kids involved. Have you thought about getting your kids involved? Maybe they can: Help separate and sort the clean laundry. Assist with the loading and starting of the washing machine and/or dryer. Fold clothing according to their capabilities. Put away their clothes (even if they are young, and can only manage their socks and underwear). Learn to put their own dirty laundry IN the hamper.
- Get a routine that works for you. Whether you do multiple loads in one day, or you do a load a day, the key is to find a routine that works for you. If you are constantly searching for clothes, then it’s time to re-visit the routine and try something different! Since I am constantly in and out of the house, I use the act of returning home as a trigger to do the next step in the laundry BEFORE I do anything else. This way, it is always small and manageable and means it is less time consuming, and can slot into my schedule easier.
Happy Laundry Days everyone!

I had decided that the day was too beautiful to stay inside. After school I said we were going out.
A few of them weren’t too keen on the idea. They just wanted to stay inside.
Exhibit A: The boy who said "I'm just going to stay in the car, and not come out!"
Good thing I don’t always listen to my children 
We went to the river at Willowbank Park in Tawa. We didn’t even make it around to the playground area. We found a good spot where there were walking stones across the river, and stayed there for the rest of the afternoon. It was a blast!
But the sulky faces and whiney comments at the beginning, I could have done without, thank you very much. So that is exactly what they were told on the way home! haha!
While we were at the river I was thinking about how our outings have evolved over the years….
I remember nervously stepping out with four children, aged 0,2,4 and 6.
I would not attempt places with water, unless I had another adult on hand.
I would choose parks where the play equipment wouldn’t be too challenging Otherwise I would end up with different children calling out my name for help all at the same time!
The parks had to be relatively contained, and where the play equipment were close together so I could keep an eye on all the kids easily.
I also remember back to when I was a home body. Quite content hanging at home, making our own fun. I had no clue what was out there, but I didn’t really care, because I had my wee ones with me and we created our own fun memories.
When we went to the zoo last week, I saw the sheltered picnic spot that brought back memories of my first big outing with our baby and toddler…all by myself!
When it came time to feeding the baby, we parked ourselves on a sheltered picnic table. I remember nervously watching my toddler eating her snack, hoping I would finish breastfeeding BEFORE my 2 year old finished her food and decided it would be really fun to go exploring without mummy!
That was then…
This is now…
It had to be one where it was relatively contained, and where the play equipment were close together so I could keep an eye on all the kids at the same time.

I haven’t really been on my computer since Wednesday! Here is just a snippet of what we’ve been up to while I was “missing in action”.
Thursday:
School Picnic at Days Bay, Eastbourne. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!
This was the first year I didn’t have a baby, or two preschoolers or a runner (a child who just seems to run in all sorts of directions, and never comes back!), so I decided to go along as a parent helper. My 3 year old enjoyed being held by all the big girls.
I enjoyed watching my daughter’s team work really hard together on their turtle design for the sandcastle competition. The girls came up with their design and implemented it themselves …. and they won!
Had a nice evening out with some friends. What more could you ask for, good company and an endless supply of dessert (we went to “The Whitby” and had the dessert buffet). I got to hold a gorgeous wee baby….yes I am very clucky!
Friday:
In my effort to make Fridays a bit more special, I decided to take the kids to the Wellington Zoo after school. The tiger looked like it wanted to eat us for afternoon tea!
Saturday:
We went out to Yum Char to celebrate my brother’s 35th birthday. So yummy! Then my kids spent time with their cousin playing with a whole big tub of retro lego that used to belong to my brothers. They had a blast!
Sunday:
It was an eventful day, because my hubby became Bishop of our Ward. Although it is a big responsibility, we feel really good about it. My mum invited the bishopric and my hubby’s brother’s family for dinner at her place – spur of the moment! So we went home and checked what we had in each of our freezers and pantries, and managed to pull it off. Everyone ended up bringing something, so it worked out perfectly.
Reality Check: I love the fact that as I have looked back on the week, I seem to have forgotten all the odd, weird or frustrating moments. The only one I can remember is when I had to use food to entice my son out of his comatosed state so he wouldn’t have a nap in the middle of the day, and be up all night! ha! I love my short term memory!

I am getting better at noticing the sunsets and sunrises outside our window (we had a stunning orange sunrise and pink sunset today)….now I just have train myself to sit a little bit longer, really enjoy the moment, and just linger, instead of scurrying off quickly to the next thing. (Can you tell I’m talking about motherhood as well!)
Had no real deadlines except for the school pick up, so we just chilled out today.
I took my 3 year old and her 3 year old second cousin to the Duncan Park Play Area in Linden for a picnic and a play. (My older children named this play area “Friendship Park” because they always seem to make friends whenever they come here. 
)
I got a kick out of watching my budding 3 year old climbers master some of the trickier climbing equipment and hear them exclaim, “Yay! I did it!!” (If you look really carefully at the above picture, you’ll see them climbing solo. At the beginning they needed me to tell them where to put their feet. Now look at them!)
Then we drove over to Island Bay.
They have great rock pools near the orange “bait house”. We went searching for crabs, and found a few in all different shapes and sizes. This little one has one big claw!
We found a neat little rock pool that housed a couple of crabs. As we spent more time there, we noticed the shells started moving around. That was really neat!
Wouldn’t it be great if there was no homework, no meals to prepare, and no chores to be done, and we could just hang out at rock pools all day.*bliss*

My friend sent me this email this morning, and I just HAD to share!
A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house and there was no sign of the dog.
Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess.
A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door .
He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened.
He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.
As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went.
He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?”
She again smiled and answered, “You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world did I do today?”
“Yes,” was his incredulous reply.
She answered, “Well, today I didn’t do it.”
(I found the images on the internet…but I have a few images in my head that would have gone with this story quite nicely….unfortunately, on those occasion I was too busy standing with my mouth wide open to grab the camera!)

I made a choice earlier this week, to try and “participate in life and make my choices more meaningful”.
As part of this, I wanted to make Friday a little bit different since we have more time up our sleeves (no homework, easy meal for dinner – During the week I make bigger meals that are re-heatable so hubby can take it to work the next day)
Come Friday, I was tired, and I could feel the motivation had drained out of me! We walked home from school in the heat, my wee man often stopped and just sat on the footpath. My two girls had gone ahead and was sitting under the shade ready for me to help them cross the “busy” T section (it’s not that busy, but feels busy when I think about my girl’s crossing a T section that has some blind corners!) I was pushing my youngest in the pram, who was about ready to fall asleep because of the heat and the busy session at Playcentre earlier that morning. Yet, we all pressed on, and we made it home….except my motivation had not made it!
Part of me wanted to forget about my little plan, part of me wanted to go through with it, because I liked the idea of trying to do something a little special on a Friday.
Who won?
It took a little while, but I finally got myself moving. I decided that we were going to have a picnic at the playground for dinner.
In my head I knew it was a good idea to do this, and that thought helped me go through with it…and then it happened…my heart melted.
I could see my two youngest children on the springy bike, giggling to each other. My youngest was sitting at the back of my 5 year old son with her hands wrapped around him, gleeing with delight. (the shot above is of my two youngest on another occasion on the springy bike…but captures what I saw yesterday.)
Aaaaahh…this was the reward, this is what made the effort all worth it.
My mind was in it, but now my heart was in it also.
My 9 year old daughter and I spent some time hanging out on a climbing frame that had a hammock type set up at the top. We just talked. Bliss…
Today I had many moments where I noticed my heart melt….
…….working as a team to tidy our house and Playcentre this morning. We worked hard, but for a good cause.
……..watching my kids having fun with their friends at our Ward Picnic at Eastbourne Beach. You can’t beat the huge smile on their faces!
…….watching my kids play together building sand castles.
…….watching a mum and a dad taking baby steps with their children to help them jump off the warf for the first time. (I wasn’t quite ready for it, I think my kids would have seen the fear in my eyes!)
…….the many hugs and kisses I got tonight from my kids…heavenly!
…….feeling that today was a good day, with wonderful memories.

Thank you for the all the lovely encouraging comments by the way, they always make me smile!
Lara from The Golden Seven said in the comments yesterday, “You’ve just about convinced me to come to Wellington on the next plane and sit at your front window and stare out of it all day.”
It made me think about how I really don’t stop and sit and admire the view as often as I should. Those times I took the photographs, my children were the ones who recognised the beauty and came to get me. And where was I? I sure wasn’t looking out of the window to notice the beauty that was unfolding right outside.
So, I have been thinking a lot this morning. About how there are things to be appreciated around us, but we may not be paying attention.
Do I take my blessings for granted?
How good am I at connecting with each child on a daily basis?
How well do I notice the world I’m living in and what we can learn from it, and what it has to offer?
Am I missing the beauty that is unfolding right in front of me?
Am I there physically, but my mind is elsewhere?
Could I be more engaged?
Can I change my actions, to make a positive impact on my life and my family?
I let these thoughts jumble around my head during my discovery date, while I did some writing, planning, shopping and photography.
After pondering all morning, I really wanted to make more meaningful choices in my life.
After picking up my 3 year old from Playcentre, I decided we were going to have a picnic by the beach. We went home, I did the laundry, and got everything ready for the picnic and off we went to Oriental Parade.
It was looooovely.
After an early dinner, we all jumped on the tramp once we finished our chores. We even did a spot of cloud watching.
One of the kids wanted to go to ride their bikes at the school (something they have asked, but it always seemed to be at the “wrong time”) and I thought “yeah, let’s do that!”.
So this is my journey this week….to make my actions more consistent with how I ultimately want to live my life.
If you have any tips on how you have kept you and your family from falling into the trap of a bad version of a grounds hog day, let me know!

The kids burst into my room this morning to tell me that they could see heaven!
I came out and looked out our living room window.
Oh wow!!
The kids were so excited, they thought angels were going to come down!
Just before bedtime, my 5 year old said,
“I want to see heaven again.”
“I’m going to go check”
He walks off to the living room, then returns.
“Hey I got some bad news, heaven’s gone”
“I like heaven…”

We had a fun Playcentre trip to Whiteria Park, which is about 20 mins drive towards Titahi Bay from our place.
The road gets pretty narrow as you are winding around the hills. I had to practice my backing skills when a car came the other way!
When we arrived, the kids all went to the rock pools in search of creatures and treasures.
I found a crab underneath a rock. We were able to have a close look at the crab before letting it go.
My youngest is a collector, so she stopped and picked up shells on the seashore. Others used the spades to dig up the heavy wet sand.
The water was warm, so the children ventured in. They jumped the waves and waddled around.
The time passed quickly, and it was time for morning tea. We sat on our picnic blankets eating our kai (food) and enjoyed the sun on our faces. The children enjoyed the nice cold lemonade ice block that were given out. We heard a lot of “please” and “thank yous”. Ka pai! (Well done!)
Some of the children got changed into their togs so they could wade deeper into the shallow water.
Some of the children stayed behind and listened to books about the beach.
The children had a great time playing together, and enjoyed the water, sand and searching for sea creatures!

“Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life”
KAHLIL GIBRAN
Earlier this week, the girls told my hubby that there was a beautiful sunset, and that they should tell me. When I saw it, my jaw dropped. It was the most beautiful pink sky I had ever seen! I quickly grabbed my camera and started running (yes running!) down the street to the hill/reserve near our place that overlooks the Wellington harbour. By the time I got there the pink had turned into a deep orange and the edges were a mixture of blue/orange/pink. Nature always surprises me at how beautiful it can be! It takes my breath away.
“Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.”

My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was in Standard 4….so I was about 10 or 11 years old. She taught me how to make a square blanket. I would just go around and around and around, and would pick it up over the years and add whatever wool I could find.
So, I could crochet some stitches, but I had no idea they were called a special name, and how to start it off!
Now that we have wonderful technology like youtube and online tutorials, I thought I would attempt to teach myself how to crochet, and make a beanie!
1st problem: I didn’t know how to read a crochet pattern!
Solution: Google “how to read a crochet pattern” and came up with this site:
http://www.anniesattic.com/crochet/learntoread.html
2nd problem: I had no clue what a slip stitch, or double stitch was.
Solution: On the same site as above, they had the abbreviations for the terminology used in the patterns, and a link to how to do the stitches.
3rd problem: I didn’t have a pattern.
Solution: I googled for a crochet beanie pattern.
This video was very good. I liked how I didn’t have to follow a written pattern and all the jargen, I just needed to copy what she did.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoCRUObS0Tc
But then I encountered another problem…
4th problem: I only had one roll of yarn/wool…and it was running out fast with the pattern I was following…it also was looking kind of wonky. I think it was because the wool I was using was thicker.
Solution: Take it apart and find another pattern.
5th problem: I didn’t have a pattern.
Solution: I had a crochet book that I picked up for 50 cents at Spotlight. It had a beanie pattern in it. Even thought I would have to follow a pattern, I thought I would give it a go.
6th problem: The beanie didn’t look like the one in the picture! doh’! I re-did it, and then it was too big.
Solution: Take it apart and start over.
7th problem: I didn’t have a pattern.
Solution: I googled for a beginner’s beanie crochet pattern.
I came up with this:
http://www.get-hooked.net/free-patterns/peek-a-boo-flower-hat/
8th problem: As I was muddling through yet another pattern, I found that the beanie was getting a bit too big again.
Solution: But this time, I had a “weee” bit of experience up my sleeve, so I adjusted the pattern, and it worked!
OH HAPPY DAY!
And I finally got to use the crochet flowers I had done a while a go.
This is the video tutorial I followed for the crochet flowers:
http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-crochet-flower-video-tutorial.html
Reality check: When did I find the time? This was all done while my youngest was at Playcentre for a couple of hours. When hubby came home from work I had a bit of time to myself, and then I worked on it some more in the evening. Phewwww!

It is not that I don’t like to plan. I love it! In fact, when I write things down, it ALMOST feels like I have done them already! hahahaha
I am the anti-planner because I constantly deviate from the plan. “I AM THE DEVIATOR!” (said again with an Arnold Schwarzenegger accent)
Mondays are my “recover from the weekend”, “get the house in order” day. After putting on a load of laundry, I looked around my garage and decided I was going to clean up a part that was bugging me, instead of tackling my “planned” housework. So satisfying!
Later on that day, I had to pick up our car from the mechanics with my youngest daughter, but after missing the bus (by seconds!) I had to deviate from my plan, and pick up the school kids, and take allllll 4 kids on the bus to get the car. We enjoyed a deviated visit to the Pet store on our walk to the mechanics and then a yummy drive-thru McD’s raspberry slushy…mmmm….slushy!
Planned items also got done. I managed to get a lot done on my Playcentre Water Play workshop I’m doing next month. Other things on my computer were calling my name, but I managed to stick to the plan, and complete the outline…yay me!
So I am a planner, an anti-planner, a deviator, Miss Spontaneous and all round floater, but isn’t that what motherhood is about sometimes? To go with the flow, and not stress too much when plans change. I also look back on my day, and the spontaneous things are usually the most memorable, and gratifying! So I probably won’t change my spots…even if the “planners” around me don’t know whether I am coming or going!
I think the art lies in getting all the “planned” stuff and “to dos” out of the way quickly, so you have more room to be spontaneous and creative!
PS I hope Valentine’s day was great for you all! Hubby and I went to dinner at Tinakori Bistro and watched Invictus at the movies on Saturday (a little bit hard to be reminded of our loss in the World Cup, but other than that, I liked the movie). I love the last verse in Nelson Mandela’s favourite poem “Invictus” :
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

It is Friday evening, “date night” in our household.
My 5 year old son approached me as I am choosing a channel on SKY TV to watch upstairs with hubby.
5 year old son: Mummy? Are you going to watch a movie with your “hoooney”?
Me: (a bit taken a back by him referring to his daddy by my nickname) aahh, yes
5 year old son: awwwwwww!! I want tooooo!
Happy dating everyone!
(Hubby and I are trying a bunch of sweets we don’t usually get: Milk Duds (man, these are chewy! me likes), Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme, Reese’s and Quake Bars. Gotta love our local ethnic store for carrying all these brands that you usually can’t get at our supermarket!)
After post:
My friend asked me how we have date nights with kids….so here is my answer:
We try and get the kids in bed and then start our date. So in our case, our oldest children go to bed at 8.30pm. If your kids go to bed earlier, there is no reason why you couldn’t start earlier. In the past we have also worked around waking babies etc. We sometimes watch a DVD we rented, or something on TV, or play a game, or just talk. It isn’t fancy. It isn’t so much what you do (if you make it too orchestrated, you maybe less inclined to keep it up every week), what I think is the key is that you both have an agreement that on Friday night (or whatever day it is) you will commit to coming together after the kids go to bed and do something fun together. We also try and have a nice dessert (or in tonight’s case a junk food feast) to make the night a bit more different from the other week days.
Now that the kids are getting older, we tell them we are having a date, and that it is important for mummy and daddy to have this special time together (this is to try and encourage them not to come out of their room and ask us a thousand questions before they go to sleep….some nights are more successful than others). Hope that helps. But with everything we do, it is pretty flexible, we have had things come up on a Friday every now and then that postpones our date. We sometimes leave the house for our date (!). Sometimes we have let the older kids stay up a bit later on a Friday and we start our date and put them to bed later. So, find what works for you.
Let me know if you have any other questions!

I was reading Small Notebooks, and Rachel’s hubby/partner Doug, was asked: “What do guys want for Valentine’s Day?”.
In his answer he talked about how one Valentine’s day was particularly memorable because he remembered feeling accepted:
“It helps a man feel accepted when he knows that the things he has already done are more important than the things he has not done yet.
A guy likes it when a woman acts like she has everything she wants when she has him.”
Awwww…gush material!!
Feeling accepted is a priceless gift, it is so important not only with our husbands, but with our children as well.
When I was pregnant I actually thought I looked pretty good. It wasn’t until after I had the baby and I would look back on photos of me pregnant that I realise how huge I was! My hubby would make lovely comments all though my pregnancy, that made me feel beautiful….he made me feel accepted.
I know I will be thinking a bit more about how I can show the ones I love that I accept them, and love them for them.

I love a good bargin. It makes me happy
I think the thing I love about it is the fact that the item is affordable enough to take home with me!
Here are some things that I am swooning over this week:
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephen R Covey – I have been on the hunt for this book to read for the Simple Mom’s Book Club. I bought the book from trademe (similar to ebay). The seller was 5 mins drive away from me, so no postage necessary. $10!
Singleton Flower Brooch – This lovely brooch was made by Ms SewFunky. I have been wearing it the last couple of days. Makes me feel very pretty! $10 + $2.50 postage!
Modena Bowls – I spotted these at The Warehouse yesterday, and just loved the colours. They will not be making an appearance in the kitchen, they will be living in the study as part of my home decor. $8!
Yummy yummy fabric - I think I actually “gasped” when I found this in the fabric bin at our local op shop/thrift store. I’m officially in love with it. For one meter….$3!!!!
It was my discovery date today. So I went out to get inspired and find fabrics for some sewing projects. 30%-50% off the discounted price of the sale fabrics at Spotlight Wellington! At Spotlight Porirua they are selling some rolls for $1 a metre! Now I will be surfing the online tutorials to teach myself how to make something out of them!
