We don't have a set plan, its just heads down bottom up, well kind of, for the month and see how it goes! It has worked for us to produce 2 cherubs in just a month of this plan so we will stick to it for the 3rd. Anyway, getting off that topic, well the nitty gritty side of the topic. With the trying comes the decorating of a nursery, YAY! I love this side of it just as much and luckily for me my super supportive husband just lets me go with it. I am big on white for furniture, I like to splash the colour around once we know what we are having. Miss P we didn't find out, Master X we did and number 3 we plan to find out too. So it will be either lots of pinks again or blues. Below is my design board so far, keeping it neutral. The big furniture we already have it is just the decor we will be purchasing. I am sure I will add to this along the way. The cot is currently in there now as our kidlets stay in our room for at least a year so the cot is really just a feature!<br />

Just recently I opened up sponsorship on the blog, I don't want to cram the sidebar with ads and I only want to advertise businesses I think my readers would be interested in. Today my first sponsor joined the blog, so let me introduce you to Buck's Back.</div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">"BucksBack is Australia's newest and favourite way to shop, save and earn money when shopping online. It's really simple – browse or search BucksBack for the retailers you want to shop with. Click the link in BucksBack to visit the retailer and shop as you normally would. Then once you've made your purchase, you'll get some cash back in your BucksBack account. Once you've earned enough cash back, it'll be deposited directly into your bank or paypal account. It's that simple – there are no catches! You pay exactly the same prices as everyone else at the store, but you earn cash back. And what's more, it doesn't cost you anything to be a member. For more details on how it works, check out <a href="http://www.bucksback.com.au/how-bucksback-works?utm_source=tutus_and_trikes&utm_medium=www_tt" target="_blank">"How BucksBack Works"</a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> For example, right now if you open a Maxi Saver account with St. George, Bank of Melbourne, or Bank SA, you'll get $50 cash back!"</span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On this blog I have mentioned things like online shopping, saving money and great finds. Well thats why I love BucksBack, you get all of these things except you get money back! There are so many great brands and products to choose from and if you are going to shop online why not get money back! Perfect way to shop in my mind!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So check them out and see how much you can save. Welcome BucksBack!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Cambria'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">I am so glad they are bringing back the classic movies, movies kids can watch and just enjoy, dream and see the magic of disney movies. When I heard they were releasing Cinderella I jumped at the chance to review it. I knew Miss P would love it, she is such a girly girly it was right up here alley.</span></div>

You forget, well I did, what a lovely, classic tale Cinderella is. With the shows on TV these days it was refreshing to watch a little girl loose herself in such a beautiful film. It is more vibrant and more captivating than before. It made us both laugh, me have a little tear (sad I know) and walk away with that happy feeling you get when you watch a classic fairytale like Cinderella. The bonus features are amazing, Miss P was dancing to the songs and singing along. It was great to have all the bonus features because Miss P was very disappointed when the movie itself ended. Cinderella kept Miss P interested and involved the entire time, which only a few movies to date have done. DVD and Blu-Ray available now- <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 15px;">Diamond Edition Value Pack, Blu-‐ray + DVD $49.95, Diamond Edition DVD $39.95.</span><br />

It has always been a main reason why I leave scooters at home! With two small children they never want to be on their scooters all day long so I am normally having to carry or somehow juggle the scooter plus thousands of bags! Plus Miss P has the habit of saying 'my legs are tired' after 10 minutes! Well, didn't she get a shock when I said we could take her scooter to the park the other day! 'Really mum, but what if my legs get tired?' Scoot Toot packed and problem solved.</div>

These pictures were all taken at home before leaving as I wanted to try it out myself plus Miss P wasn't convinced I had a plan for her tired legs. She loved it. I will admit, at first when I saw it I thought 'how is this going to pull the scooter without it tipping' but it does and it is really easy! We often visit places where the kids would have so much fun on their scooters and now we can take them along. Master X is getting a scooter for his birthday so we will definitely be getting one to attach to his scooter. It is so so simple to use: you attach it to the scooter t-bar and then your wrist and off you go. It is also handy to carry the scooter too. It's always a bit tricky to carry a scooter without knocking your heels or tripping. With the Scoot Toot you attach one end to the handle bars then the other part around the base of the scooter then carry it like a bag! Simple, quick and so much of a help!</div>

The above verse means so much to me, I luckily escaped with no stretch marks but I am left with a tummy that looks and feels like jelly but it has held and nurtured two of the most precious things in my life and hopefully one more, so I do love my body for doing that.<br />
<br />
This year I am joining in with<a href="http://weheartlife.com/2012/10/ihmb-2012/" target="_blank"> I Heart My Body</a> over at <a href="http://www.weheartlife.com/" target="_blank">We Heart Life</a>. As is the case with most women, I was much thinner before kids. After Miss P I walked daily and kept a lot of weight off and was almost back to my pre child size and then I fell pregnant again- YAY! But second time around I didn't get into the exercise as much, actually at all. The morning teas out and the afternoon snacks caught upon me. I put a stop to all of this not long ago and decided to take back control of my body. My husband is no help as he thinks I look HOT all the time (thanks hun but I need the honest truth sometimes- thanks mum).<br />

This picture taken just a few weeks ago is the first picture I have seen of myself in a bikini in a long time. At first I was repulsed, but then I had a longer look at it and thought 'you know what, after 2 kids and a crapload of garbage, I don't look that bad.' I am learning to love my body, I am still working on it to get it healthy again but I am actually liking it know. I have always liked my body, as a teenager I was fortunate enough to have a good body plus I was very sporty so that helped. I was never one for the scales and I still don't really 'do' scales. I also don't like to go off my clothes fitting because every brand has a different size. My drawers consist of sizes 8-12 and I am very happy with that. If I feel right in my clothes then I am happy. I probably weigh more now than before kids and I am definitely not as toned but my body is my life story, it has changed along with my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From looking at this picture I can tell you 3 things I love about my body right now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>My legs- I am happy with how they look and have stayed quite toned, chasing after 2 kids I guess they should be right?</li>
<li>My Stomach- weird right as it doesn't look and feel like it used to, but it has carried two beautiful babies in it so I love it.</li>
<li>My Feet- is that weird to like your feet? They never seem to gain weight or wrinkles or anything!</li>
</ol>
<div>
So I am in the process of loving my body, I am also working to keep it healthy. I want my kids to see their mum as fit and healthy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b>Do you love your body? What do you love most about it?</b></div>

I like myself, I like the person I am and the way I look but I don't have an ego. I am just happy with Kate. But lately I have begun doubting myself, listening to others and their negative thoughts. I haven't let it show on the outside but I feel it inside, the constant battle with myself to believe what I do, say and feel is ok. It has stopped me speaking up for what I believe in and for. So in this post you will read my beliefs, thoughts, feelings and more. They are mine and anyone who disagrees may do so but in no way am I going to be held down by this anymore. I judge no one on their choices, their life or their beliefs yet i have let so many judge me, until today when I make a stand for myself to be myself. If I feel like making these feelings or opinions known I will without feeling guilty and i will take other opinions but I won't let them affect mine. I am different in many ways to a lot of females I know, I found myself copping mountains of criticism for this yet never dishing any out myself even though I don't agree with a lot thats said. Dishing it out isn't my thing but nor is copping so much judgement. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have breastfed both of my kids- Miss P to 16 months and Master X to 19 months and I am damn proud of it. I don't write it in the sky, I didn't do it because someone told me to I did it because I enjoyed the bond, my kids loved it and its good for them. Whats wrong with that you say? Nothing to me but wow have I heard it all- you're weird, that's gross, you will be feeding them at 7, they will never be independent, etc, etc! Really, I do something that is healthy for my child and I cop this! For the record we are planning baby #3 and that baby will hopefully be breastfed just as long, actually considering this may be our last I hope to breastfeed longer as the only reason I have stopped both times is to fall pregnant! Go ahead judge but my ears are closed. On the topic of breastfeeding I will also mention the judgement i have had on the co sleeping matters, it is much to the same extent as the breastfeeding, oh except the good one 'where do you have sex?' My answer is there is more to sex than a bed! In this household we all look after each other, if every single person in this house is getting sleep then we are all happy. My husband and I know that our children will sleep through the night in their own beds (actually Miss P already is) so we will once again be back in the same bed! Again so much judgement and nasty criticism for being there and comforting our children??? It really stumps me which is why I think it makes me so angry. When I start neglecting my children then everyone can start judging, so looks like there should never be any judgement then because I will never neglect my children.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't leave my kids unless its to duck out briefly during the day i.e. school appointment or acupuncture so its a max of about an hour. This seems to annoy people??? I get people asking me when is my time out from the kids? I have my time at night when they are asleep and it suits me fine. I couldn't imagine spending a night away from them (Miss P has sleepovers at Grandmas but we are at home and she asks for them) and nor do I want to go out at night only own. I really wish people would stop telling me I am weird or 'its good for you' no sorry but doing something that makes you upset is not good for you! My husband and I will go out once in a blue moon together but we have date nights at home and this we like as we know the kids are safe and happy plus we get to spend time together. Again I don't judge women who go out once a week, spend weekends away from their kids or go on holidays alone yet I cop it for wanting to be around my children all the time???? Another thing I seem to get judged on is the fact that I do all the housework, the cooking and looking after the kids. My husband is the best guy ever, he appreciates every single little thing I do for him. There is not a day goes by after 7 years that he doesn't say 'thank you for dinner hun' or can i help you or why don't you sit down and I will do that. He works very hard in a physical outdoor job so for me to do these small things for him is the least I can do. He is a great dad, my two cannot contain themselves when he gets home. It may look like he has it easy but he has to go out daily and do a job to make sure we have enough money to live, thats a huge responsibility!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I guess its been a bit of a rant this post and I do apologise for that but I needed to clear my head and take back my life, my opinions and my feelings! I am sick of hiding away my opinions or feelings because someone else doesn't agree with it or feels guilty in their life. I will never say I am right you are wrong (unless you are my husband, he hears it a lot) but I will voice my opinion and allow others to have theirs but not allow it to affect mine. Stand up for what you believe in and stay true to yourself. My time of being judged is over, if you judge me from now on you will receive a response,you may not like it but you shouldn't have judged me! I have never followed the crowd and I am not about to start. I am passionate abut my parenting, my family and my life so just try and judge me now, I dare you. </div>

I tend to cook the same meals over a fortnight and I thought I would share with you a favourite budget recipe. This meal is budget but doesn't compromise on taste it is delicious and full of veggies!!!<br />

<b>Sausage Pasta Bake</b><br />
6 beef sausages<br />
375g penne or spiral pasta<br />
1 tablespoon olive oil<br />
1 medium brown onion chopped coarsely<br />
1 small red capsicum chopped coarsely<br />
1 small yellow capsicum chopped coarsely<br />
1 large zucchini sliced thinly<br />
200g mushrooms quartered<br />
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil<br />
Bottle of pasta sauce<br />
1 cup cheese tasty or mozzarella<br />
1/2 cup parmesan cheese<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> Preheat oven to 180 degrees<br />
<b>2.</b> Cook sausages and once cooked cut into 1cm slices and put in bowl to side<br />
<b>3.</b> Cook pasta according to the packet or your taste<br />
<b>4.</b> Heat oil in frypan; cook onion, capsicums and zucchini until they are tender. Add mushrooms, basil and pasta sauce; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes.<br />
<b>5.</b> Combine pasta and sliced sausages in a large bowl, add vegetable mixture and half of the cheese (Mozzarella or tasty).<br />
<b>6.</b> Place in a baking dish; sprinkle with remaining cheeses. Bake uncovered in the oven for about 25 mins or until lightly browned.<br />
<br />
<b>*You can add whatever vegetables you like, we don't eat capsicum so we just have zucchini, carrot, onion and mushrooms. Feel free to add or remove whatever vegetables you feel.</b><br />
<br />
It is such a quick dish to prepare, I normally make it mid morning and then cover it up and put in the fridge, then at dinner time do step 6 and pop it in the oven. This meal is great for the kids too! It makes a lot of leftovers so make sure you freeze it. We normally get 2 nights meals from it and it is just as good second time around.<br />
<br />
Hope you love it and I will post more budget friendly family meal recipes son.<br />

Not only is there the
cars but there is so much on track entertainment especially for the kids.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have really gone out of their way
to make this event family friendly and indeed child friendly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We had a pram today and didn’t find it
once an inconvienece nor did we seem to annoy too many people! The staff around the track were amazing and offered to help carry pram over bridge. Plenty of food and drink stalls so we never had to venture far. There was so much action going on everywhere there was never a dull moment. Sunday was the day I was worried about as i knew it would be the biggest day, but it was very pleasant. They really catered for the kids too, so many free activities for them which is always a bonus. The kids area was well laid out too and not congested like most venues!</div>

off and then didn’t know where to go first!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They had their picture taken with lightening McQueen and his
mechanic, they each got their drivers license which was very cute (cute now
while its not real ask me again when they’re 17 if its cute), they stood on the
podium in front of Mac and got lots of colouring in pictures to do!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Both Miss P and Master X drove around the really cute track- Miss P had some help from the lovely guys that worked there and I pushed Master X around in a small CARS buggy. The lines weren't huge and moved very quickly. The CARS jumping castle was a hit and both the kids enjoyed it, they did come out absolutely dripping in sweat as it was very hot on the Saturday! The MAC truck is unbelievable, inside they had little CARS couches set up and Playstation, my two aren't at the Playstation age yet so we just admired from a distance. It was very well set up and just amazing the kids were thrilled to see it and couldn't stop talking about it. We went back to it again on Sunday for another play.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">An event that can keep
the kids entertained and have them happily walking for over 3 hours is a GREAT
event! Well done <a href="http://www.lifeliketouring.com/" target="_blank">LifeLike Touring</a> for bringing CARS on tour! We had so much fun, it was a glorious weekend and this made our <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Armor All Gold Coast 600</b> even

<span lang="EN-US">These are so great!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yeah you can get adult earmuffs from
the hardware store but I guarantee the kids will be sick of them after
15mins!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My two had these on all
day and Master X fell asleep in them, if he can fall asleep and stay asleep for
almost an hour wearing them then it has to say something about their
comfort.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They look great- Miss P
has a pink pair of course and Master X has a silver pair and they come in other
colors too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These earmuffs only
weigh 190 grams so they don’t weigh down a child’s head like adult size ones
do. Another huge plus is they fold up which is great for storage- trust me with
a small stroller, food to feed an army the last thing I needed was bulky items
so these being able to fold up made it so much easier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Visit their website<a href="http://www.earmuffsforkids.com.au/" target="_blank"> here</a> and find out
more about these great ear muffs and also the detailed specifications.</span></div>

we will be purchasing. They only weigh 100 grams and come with super soft

Well at least in my neck of the woods it is and sometimes it can be more than one thing. I think this is even more true since having kids! When it comes to kids and today's online world there is a lot we learn daily and a lot we need to teach our kids. One statement that sticks in my head and I will be passing it onto my kids comes from good old Dr Phil, he said this about teaching his kids about the online world, <i>'<b>before you type an email or send a photo think about whether you would be happy to see your words or picture on the front page of the New York Times? Because that is exactly what its like, you can never get them back.'</b></i><br />

After seeing events evolve in the blogosphere recently, its clear that we all need to remember that what we write and say never goes away once entered online. We will be teaching our kids everything we know and learn about the online world, I am forever researching and learning new tips so I can pass these onto my children. Some might say I am protecting my kids from reality or I am sheltering them and I say, YES I AM! Indeed I am protecting them from certain parts of reality, yes I am sheltering them from things they don't need to see or hear and yes I will continue to do so for as long as I can. It doesn't mean my children will live under a rock, gosh just by watching the news they see it all! But they will be educated by us in the harsh reality of the online world today. We will try to equip them with knowledge of consequences for their actions and how it may affect them later in life. Obviously we do this at age appropriate stages but I believe it is up to us parents to take responsibility of our own children, society has just lost it's right to help raise my kids! Children at 10 years old in shopping centres late at night, where on earth are the parents! They hold no responsibility saying 'oh we just can't handle them' so what its up to society to deal with them? No we need to make a change in this society before it self destructs, parents need to own their kids actions (as well as the child owning it) they need to show some responsibility and actually help solve the problem not just throw their hands up and walk away! Parenting is hard work and its not a sprint, these parents run half the race then quit. We as a society then pay for it. I am pleased to inform society that we will be taking full responsibility of our children and their actions,allowing society to hopefully mend its current messy state.</div>

I regularly sit at our dining room table to work on my laptop, from here I can see my kids playing outside and they like to know I am close by. I can also see the road and a few houses in the neighbourhood from my table. Whilst staring out into dream land the other afternoon, I was shocked at what I witnessed. A 4wd in the driveway, a small child (no older than 2) in the driveway and no other adult present. Smiled at the little girl dancing and prancing about, reminding me of my 4 year old. Then I heard the 4wd start and then the reverse lights came on! Surely the other parent would come out, surely the driver just started the car. Nope, it began to reverse, meanwhile the dancing toddler was directly behind and as the driveway went downhill I new the driver would never see the child! I am not sure where my heart went or how long my whole world stood still, I jumped from my chair and proceeded toward sthe back gate! Just as I got to the gate I heard a mother yelling "STOP STOP! Oh my god stop she's behind you" and waving her hands frantically! Luckily the driver saw her and stopped. By this stage the dancing toddler had stopped and ran to the mother wondering what the fuss was about! I was still in shock that night and retelling the incident to my husband made us bother shiver!<br />
<br />
This is how quickly a child can be run over in their own driveway! According to the Kidsafe website <i>'in 85% of cases, the driver does not know that a child is close to the vehicle; they think they are being looked after elsewhere.'</i> Driveway accidents have always scared me, we haven't had any close calls but it has always been my fear! Our rule with our kids is this: before starting any car the driver makes sure they can see both our children and not only see them but see them being held/restrained/contained by an adult then making sure the kids and this adult are not standing behind the vehicle, this way the driver can maintain contact the whole time. I would rather take out the fence or letterbox than our child. This may seem simple but many times I see it where people 'think' the child is with the other person yet they aren't. It is also important to tell other people about driveway safety, for example grandparents and other family/friends. This way if you are not present, your child is still safe knowing everyone is following the safe guidelines you put into practice. For more tips on keeping the driveway safe here is the <a href="http://www.kidsafeqld.com.au/images/stories/pdfs/Factsheet%20-%20driveway%20safety%20-%20Kidsafe.pdf" target="_blank">KidSafe</a> fact sheet on driveway safety, some very alarming statistics and also some great tips to keep in mind!<br />
<br />
Here are some things to always remember when in a driveway to help prevent accidents taken from the KidSafe QLD fact sheet which can be found <a href="http://www.kidsafeqld.com.au/images/stories/pdfs/Factsheet%20-%20driveway%20safety%20-%20Kidsafe.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>:<br />
<ul>
<li><i><b>Supervise:</b> When moving vehicles. know where your kids are at all times. Physically hold them close to you or put them in the car with you. Teach kids to wave bye-bye from a safe place – never the driveway. Never leave children unattended in cars. </i></li>
<li><i><b>Separate:</b> Use fences and self-closing gates to keep garages and driveways separate from play areas. Always keep car doors locked. Prevent toddlers gaining access to garages by Installing doors that open inward to the house, self-close and have highset handles. Treat the diveway like a road – never a play area.</i></li>
<li><i><b>See:</b> Walk around your car and keep children in mind when using your reversing mirrors, sensors or cameras. Cameras are designed to prevent damage to cars not children – and sometimes a child may not be visible until it’s too late. Understand how little you can see behind your car – vehicle size is not always a good indicator. Some family sedans have a blind spot of more than 15 metres, and it is possible to fit more than 60 pre-schoolers behind a vehicle and not see them from the driver’s seat.</i></li>
</ul>
<i><br /></i>
Please treat the driveway the same way you do the road, in most cases it can be more dangerous than the road! It is better to be over cautious and demand people know your rules about driveways than having to deal with injuries or death of your child from a driveway accident.<br />

Mental illness not only affects adults but also children. I have teamed up with the wonderfully talented Nicky Johnston, author of the book 'Go Away Mr Worrythoughts' to bring some helpful tips on mental health in children.<br />

<i>1.Build a vocab with your child to help them describe what
they are feeling – sore tummy, headache in the belly button, hot and cold at
the same time, a fast speeding heart (all physical reactions to a thought).
Help develop other descriptions, instead of ‘happy’ use ‘ecstatic’, instead of
sad say ‘glum’ or ‘devastated’. Giving extremes will allow their vocab to grow
as their understand of their own feelings does.</i><o:p><i> </i></o:p><i>2.Keep a list of ‘happythoughts’. Write or draw things to
remind them of feeling happy or excited. Special photos, stones, feather, gem,
movie ticket can be a trigger for some ‘happy thoughts’. This will take
practise, but the strategy “Change your thoughts to change your feelings”
really works.</i><o:p><i> </i></o:p><i>3.“Go Away, Mr Worrythoughts....Your thoughts are not
welcome” is the mantra used in the book, repeat, repeat, repeat at every opportunity.
Or create your own powerful words to say aloud. Say it together as a whole
family – make it a ritual! This becomes an instant thought breaker and will
shift the feelings of doom and gloom to fun and laughter!</i></blockquote>

For more tips and loads of resources head to Nicky's website <a href="http://www.happyhero.com.au/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I had the privilege of reading her book Go Away Mr Worrythoughts. Not only did I enjoy it and find it helpful but Miss P thoroughly enjoyed it. She asked so many questions after, which is what I was hoping it would encourage. The best thing was that after a few days she came to me and informed me she had some 'worryininging' (that's how she said it so I had to type it that way) thoughts but they didn't bother her because she just remembered the book we read. Now I will be getting a copy myself so we can read it more often. The book is full of beautiful pictures to help with children's understanding. It is so well written and aimed to help children with Generalised Anxiety Disorder or other anxiety issues. Its so nice to read because it helps children recognise those feelings and deal with them in their own way. They also realise their feelings are normal which is a big thing in mental health. I highly recommend this book for anyone with children not just children with anxiety issues but it can honestly help all children.<br />
<br />
We must keep having these conversation with our children, how they are feeling and really encouraging them to talk about their feelings. We have to keep asking everyone we love how they are and especially the men in our lives who tend to be a bit more reserved about their feelings. There are lots of events on this week for Mental Health Week and lots of ways you can help so visit their website here for more information.<br />
<br />
Nicky has other books and resources to help in other areas of mental health. She is doing an amazing job in helping our children overcome these feelings. Take a look at all of her resources and fabulous work. Nicky just recently won <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 15px;">AusMumpreneur Making a Difference” Award at 2012 Connect2Mums AusMumpreneur Business Awards, a huge honour and an outstanding achievement!</span></span><br />

<br />Tutus & Trikeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16068513369270845850noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392184934842176408.post-86172747047953830292012-09-30T18:46:00.000-07:002012-09-30T18:46:55.271-07:00Scary TimesAll forms of media are filled with stories, tributes and articles about Jill Meagher and rightly so. This post is one that was brewing inside my head before the tragedy of what happened in a small Melbourne town. Ever since Miss P was born I can no longer watch shows like Law & Order or movies like Taken, I get deeply disturbed by them and the nightmares that follow are awful. This being because I relate it all back to my kids and these movies aren't just far fetched entertainment anymore, things are happening out their in the real world that are exactly the same as scenes from these shows and movies. I often lay in bed at night wondering how we are going to keep the kids safe, I know I can't be there for them all the time and I am not wanting to wrap them in cotton wool, but the world is a very dangerous place at the moment. Even my mum, who raised 4 kids, says she worries for kids of today and the things she allowed all of us to do back then she would never allow if it was like it is today. <br />
<br />
So many things have played apart in the way society is today-<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>TV ratings are pretty much a joke, as long as they get the people watching it they don't care so shows with swearing and violence are on at 7-730pm when most kids are still awake. These used to be kept until at least 830pm.</li>
<li>the drugs and alcohol are so freely available. Parents just throwing their hands up and saying 'well what can I do to stop them'. What can you do to stop them? At least try and stop them and then just keep on being there and supporting that's what! Be concerned about your child's friends, know their friends!</li>
<li>Glorification of shows like Underbelly and Sons of Anarchy, why put these on TV seriously. Kids watch these and think these people have a great life, full of money and girls. They don't see the way they end up like we do. And kids are being allowed to watch these shows.</li>
<li>the government, why, because jail is a beautiful place to go, its a resort! Why would anyone be deterred to do crime when they can live a life of luxury? OK I know its not all luxury, but people are not coming out of jail with any type of good lesson instead they're coming out with more bad contacts and most of the time hungry to do it all again!</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'm no expert and I am only 29 years old but I can still see whats happening in society. I am not a perfect parent, my kids are only little still so I haven't been through the teenage years but my husband and I have both decided we aren't going to bow down to society and raise our kids the way they want us to, we are going to raise them the way we want them to be. Does that mean they will never be in trouble, or never touch drugs or never have any type of problem? No it doesn't, but what it means is we will TRY and make them aware of these dangers and if they do fall we will be there to help them pick up the pieces. We both know we are our kids parents first and their friend second, we are not scared to say no to our kids and we will when they are teenagers too. But one thing I won't be told anymore is that I am trying to wrap my kids up in cotton wool. My kids will know about the real world through the news and through family discussions etc but will we try and keep them from danger- you bet you we will. We will talk to our daughter about the dangers of walking alone at night, strange men, etc and we will talk to our son about similar dangers. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Jill Meagher story has rocked many worlds, I feel for her family. It should never have happened, it is though and it will continue to. It has saddened me but empowered me too, empowered me to keep on protecting and teaching my kids and not let society rule the way we raise them!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
RIP Jill Meagher and my prayers are with your family x</div>

Where has the time gone, seriously its Thursday and the first week of school holidays are almost over! We have had a mixture of nice home time and outings as well so its been lovely. There have been a few moments of 'mum I'm bored' and this got me thinking- what are some boredom busters I can share with other mums for the school holidays?</div>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">fun times</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here's my list of boredom busters for school holidays (or anytime really):</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">buy some old saucepans from op shop or markets and if you have a sandpit put them in there with some water- hours of role play fun</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">add rice and food colouring to water and this will entertain and focus on their sensory skills as well</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">good old play dough (50c a tub at Kmart) but just have paddle pop sticks or match sticks for them to create with</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">forget the expensive superman or princess dress ups, go to op shop or market and purchase women and men's clothes, shoes, hats and accessories. The brighter and more unusual the clothes or accessories the more fun the kids will have. Have a box especially for dress ups so they can take them outside too.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">go to local hardware and ask for the offcuts of wood. Our local Mitre 10 often have small blocks. Put these outside with some glue (or hammer and nails if bit older) and watch their imagination flow</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">box construction- get grandma, aunts or friends to collect all their cereal or tissue boxes and toilet rolls and the kids will have hours of fun building and creating things from the boxes. Use sticky tape instead of glue to binds kids find this a bit more interesting</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">washing baby dolls- fill up some buckets and get the kids baby dolls out, add a little baby wash to water and give the kids a washer and let them wash their babies. Can also add the babies clothes to this and then hang them out.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">outdoor obstacle course- create an age appropriate obstacle course in the backyard. This gives a new meaning to their outside toys and develops their gross motor skills.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are just a few ideas that might keep boredom at bay. As much as its great to stay home, it's also fun to venture out. Today we are heading to the movies to see Madagascar 3, Miss P and I are heading to Star Class whilst Master X has quality time with grandma! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope your school holidays are going well so far and enjoy the time with your kids.</div>

But it got me thinking about all the good things in my life and this made me smile! It feels good to smile! I then laughed because the things that make me smile are so very different to things that would have made me smile BC (before children). I thought I would let you inside my thoughts this morning and see what made me smile.<br />

I love them I must say, it's a time I get to spend with both the kids and it give Miss P some down time. We love to plan lots for our school holidays so I thought I would share with you all the printable I made up for us. Let me warn I am in the extremely novice stage of printables so don't be too hard on me please. Feel free to download and print of either one and have your school holidays sorted before they start! Get the kids to help you plan.<br />
