Show me your tunes & I'll show you mine!

Music makes up a huge part of my life. I can't sing and I definitely can not play but I love to listen. I have it in the car, in the house, on the computer, on my ipod - I love it. Since I was a child I have probably invested just as much in earphones as I have on books - I love it when I am on my own and put the earphones in.

In a past life, before the Mr & Madam, I used to go and see bands all the time. I don't think anything quite compares to that first time when you see a singer/band live and it is in some dodgy venue and you just know they will be huge and that this is a once in a lifetime chance.

But....

Now that I am a domestic goddess (stop laughing!) my musical experience is a pair of earphones and an ipod more than a band and a pub. I am thinking that I need some new music though so I am proposing a swap. I have never hosted one but I will give it a go.

If you want to take part just comment - I will leave it open until next Tuesday. If there is a mass of people I can just give everyone a partner - if there is just one other well then it is just you and me! Nothing flash but if you want to put some new music (maybe 10 songs?) on a CD and post it too someone else - how does that sound? A good ol' mix tape (or mix CD as such!)I guess it might cost about $4.00 all up with CD & postage.

I figure a change is as good as a holiday.....maybe the songs inspire you , make you laugh, make you reminisce, whatever floats your boat - maybe it will float another person's boat too!

Leave a comment and I'll figure the rest out......

The Mr, The Madam & a small b-b-q

I have managed to acquire yest another monkey cold so the blogging has been slack lately - my apologies. Today I am still a bit ick but determined to kick it so I am back. I am not sure what the universal truth in it all is but every time I start some sort of health kick, new plan, I get sick....ew.

Anyway back to my project positive....

If you have read this blog for a while you'll know that the Mr and the Madam have a bit of a wild history. When she was born he didn't cope very well, for many reasons, but now we are all systems go. She is just a mini version of him, it is actually kind of freaky how much like him she is. When they do get to spend some time together it is very cool , not just for them but for me, she just idolises her Dad and he adores her - they both hate my camera so I have to sneak photo's.

Seeing their relationship develop has been fantastic - they cooked her first barbecue together the other night after a 'Dad & daughter' shopping day so that is where these photos were taken.....definitely a positive.....

Things that happened

Inspired by this we tried it. Apparently you shouldn't use the raspberries with the goop (Naturals ones) in the middle because when you stick the skewer in it goes everywhere - but we did laugh!




Inspired by this we made the cake for the Mr's birthday. He turned 36 on Saturday - he worked so we didn't have much of a celebration but he did love the cake. The Madam had to put her name on it so Daddy knew she mad it - apparently no claim to fame for me!




I found these beads and an organic gingerbread cookie at my local markets on Saturday - which I am planning on invading with my own business soon!

How was your weekend?
