Can we do it? I don't think we can

22 May 2018

Good Morning


Sorry I have been MIA for a couple days, yesterday I had a interview - I hope that I get through to the second round fingers crossed.  I was applying for more jobs when it occurred to me that I am kinda wanting to be a housewife and stay at home and look after my family.  Financially we couldn't afford for me to do it unless we win lotto ( like every other adult in Australia is wishing for the same thing) so until the lotto win I am going to be trying to juggle both.
Don't get me wrong I have nothing against working Mothers - I think they are fabulous and would love to know how they do it all, I also think that being a SAHM is important and I would love to be the be the Mum who is able to Stay at Home but also bring in a wage - no I am not looking into party plan I have been down that road and it ended up costing me more money than I made.  No I need to figure out how I can make my Home Craft a wage earner and that means me putting on my thinking cap.

So the Royal wedding is over - and my family is relieved until I told them that there is another in October and that I will be watching that.
I think the Royal family are fabulous and would give my right arm to meet the Duchess of Cambridge and her children and the Queen.  Prince Phillip would be a hoot and a half to be around him, from what I have read and seen on TV he has a very dry sense of humour and I think we would get on very well - oh well it is nice to dream, I think my husband has come to realise that the Royal Family are my "cat nip" and as I write this I can see him shaking his head and rolling his eyes ( he's not here but if I told him this that is the reaction I will get)....come to think of it this is the only thing that I am slightly obsessed with.  To meet them would make my life and I would like photos to prove that I had met them, I would love to be able to really sit and talk to the Queen about so many things and ask advice from a person who has seen so much change and has managed to remain so loved by the people she has pledged her life to.


So on Sunday i organised my Pantry - and yes I forgot to do the before and after photo's so my next organising project project I will post photos.  The kids keep saying that I have organised it so well and that they can see stuff and I can see what we have.  I think this came about because I am going to need to bake and be careful about what we are eating so that Miss 12 doesn't get sick, you see most of what I bought has milk solids in the ingredients list and being that she is Lactose Intolerant a lot of the foods can't be bought.  Now you may think that I am somewhat over reacting and that is a fair call because maybe I am but to put in to context we have being doing the rounds of DR's and Specialists for 6 years before we moved to Melbourne to be told by the Specialist that we saw that it could be 1 of 2 things - either an allergy to fructose or a allergy to lactose, the fact that I have been giving her Milk, Cheese, Cream and other Dairy products all of this time is kinda a burden that I am going to have to live with.  I have been making my daughter sick and that doesn't sit well at all so I am going to try and make it better by being extra protective and double checking what she is eating so that she can start getting better.  I am new to having to check the ingredients list on food but you know what it has certainly made me re-evaluate what we are putting into our mouths and how as the mother it is my responsibility to make sure that my family are eating the right foods.

This is me

15 May 2018


Hi and welcome to Kylies life

Well it has been a long time since I was on here, and well it is going to be a warts and all post today.


As you know we moved to Melbourne a year ago, the transition was difficult I didn't have a job to come to and the kids found it hard.  As you know Hubby was promoted and well the office was in Melbourne so we packed up and moved, in hind sight I should have applied for a Job so that I had one to come to.

Well I did find a job,and well I thought that it was going to be the perfect fit, as it turns out it wasn't.  Now the industry I was in I still feel a passion for but the environment was highly stressful and the moral in the office wasn't good.  I did enjoy the time I was there to a certain point, the thing was I was often leaving before the kids got up and getting home after the kids got to bed.  I was starting to feel like I new the people I worked with better than my children as I spent more time there. Yes the pay check certainly helped and I am trying to find another role that I am able to do that provides the same of money and that I truly enjoy.

So while I am currently unemployed I am going to be working on getting my house back in order and getting back to baking and making delicious meals for my family.  Speaking of food Miss 12 has been diagnosed as Lactose Intolerant, and she is finding it very hard to deal with.  Now I am actually having to stop and think about what I put in the shopping trolley and what I am cooking.  We have ben doing the adjusted eating plan for a couple of weeks and she has said that she is starting to feel better already.  There is a tablet called Lacteeze that she can take if we are out and is wanting to have a treat, but I am not wanting to start trying that just yet I would like to get her body used to not having Lactose.


Is it wrong that I am a 40 something woman that is wanting to overhaul her wardrobe so that she is able to dress like the Duchess of Cambridge? She is so elegant and seems to nail it every time she puts a foot out the door.  Yes I understand that she has the budget to look like she does and has a hairdresser on speed dial and I don't have that, I wear glasses, am a-lot shorter than her and probably weigh more ( I am fairly sure that I weigh more)  The only thing that is the same is the hair colour !!!! so I am thinking that I am needing to loose some weight - not just so I can look fab in dresses similar to what she wear, but more for me and I am thinking the best way to start is by getting up and walking Patterson.  I am sure that he will be grateful for the attention.

I have advised the family that on Saturday night that I will be watching the Royal Wedding - I am even recording it just incase I fall asleep.  Even if I don't fall asleep I will be watching it again, I am watching it more for Prince Harry as I do have a soft spot for him.  He is a bit of a lad hes the one that if his mate was passed out cause he had drunk to much would be in charge of shaving his eyebrows off and drawing them back in with a sharpie so the guy had to wear a beanie till his eyebrows grow back!!! It appears that Harry is very open and relaxed now in the public eye and I really do hope that he and Meghan make a real go of it.  From what I have seen of the two of them together it looks like they are the pieces of the puzzle that fit, I am sure that she will make a wonderful addition to the Royal Family and will be able to hold her and take on engagements without Harry.  So with that being said I am going to go and have a cup of tea and fold my washing - oh to have staff do that for me :)
