My new job

I am so excited to share some news with you...

I started a new job this week as a New Homes Sales Consultant with a company called

 

Manor Group

 

My office is in this gorgeous display home, pop by the website & check it out. Its called the

 Mitchell 6 & its simply stunning!

 

I'm working in a full time position, Monday to Friday & I have just completed my first week.

I really enjoyed it & have learnt so much that by Friday I thought my head might explode & there is still so so much more to know. Its such a great feeling to be challenging myself in this way again. The people I work for & with are all really lovely which makes it so easy to go there each day

 

So if you don't hear from me much, I haven't forgotten you or anything & I am still keen to blog, I will just be a little time poor when it comes to my personal interests.

The dream guy has been doing a fabulous job at being Mr mum & the school daddy. I leave home pretty early of a morning so my little ones are still sleeping & he has had to learn to do a ponytail on dream child no4 who has hair to her waist. On the first day he rang the neighbor & got her to do it, but after a couple of lessons, he has improved a little each day, we might make a hairdresser out of him yet, he he he.

 I have a little chuckle when the kids tell me about some of the hi cups that occur, but I give him a 10/10 for effort!!!

 

Do you have a Mr mum getting the kids to school each day?

 I would love to hear your funny stories!!

Hens Day fun & games

My gorgeous little sister is getting married in 2 weeks time so last weekend we celebrated with the traditional hens day.

 

This is the beautiful bride herself

The dress code for the day was little black dress & big wig...

I might have taken it a bit far, as you will soon see...

 

 

Wigs don't come much "bigger" than that, he he he!!!

 

 

The mother daughter shot!!!

 

The bride with our mum(on the left) & her adopted mum with the star glasses!!!

 

The bride with her AWESOME bridesmaids.

these girls are by far the best bridesmaids EVER!!

They put on a great hens day, we had a high tea in the afternoon, then popped on a bus called "The Happy Cabby" it was a karaoke tour to 3 mystery restaurants for entree, main & dessert. It was great fun, the food was fantastic &  everyone got in on the karaoke!!!

 

We also had a fun time posing with photo props at the high tea.

 

Any way the wedding will be on a beach in 2 weeks so the attire will be completely different & the hair will be a little tamer.

I am the hairdresser on the day & I'm also working on the table decorations & helping style the reception, I can't wait.

 

I will be posting some pictures of the wedding for sure, a bit of a before & after.

 

Have a fabulous week everyone, I have so much to tell you at the moment & no time to blog, but I am trying to catch up.

A special birthday & an ADHD update

 

I can't believe my most favourite little man on the planet has turned 10 years old today, reaching double digits is a milestone in any kids life wouldn't you say, no longer a little kid, but not yet a teenager...a tween!!!

 

 

Now for those of you that have followed my blog for a while know that this gorgeous little man has not come without challenges as he has ADHD ( attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or if you want to simplify it a little, cheeky, annoying, obnoxious,aggressive, demanding ,challenging & difficult in general,lucky we love him bucket loads, no seriously there are lots of good qualities in this little bombshell as well!!

If your interested in catching up on our ADHD story you can read this post

here it tells our story of where we were a year ago. I have just re read it myself & it made me cry, you really do forget how things were once you move past that time in your life.

 

 

It was recommended by the psychologist that we get to a paediatrician & get our child onto a good dose of Ritalin,I wasn't keen to go down this path & thankfully we haven't had to. Through the help of our fantastic naturopath I can proudly say this little guy is now like a regular average "obnoxious" boy...as long as we keep him on the right diet...avoiding wheat, dairy & additives 102 & 211 where ever possible, we basically try to avoid processed foods. We continue to take the herbal supplements prescribed by the naturopath each month & after a 9month wait we finally got the call from the paediatricians office to schedule an appointment. I was able to say "Thanks but no thanks, we are doing just fine! "

 

 

We have moved him to a new school this year & I didn't feel it necessary to notify them of the ADHD as he was definitely a different kid. I didn't want him to be labelled as a problem child from day one, I wanted to see how he was judged by his current behavior.

 Well we got his half yearly report which by the way left me "gobsmacked", it was EXCELLENT!!! The first positive school report ever. I attended a parent/teacher interview & couldn't believe my ears, my eyes where filled with tears which I was furiously blinking away, I mean really, WHO crys at a routine interview with the teacher.Any way, at this point I decided to tell her our secret, she was amazed at how easy he is to get along with, but did say that it explains his boastfullness, he he he!!

 

 

So to finish this long but proud mummy post. I now have on my hands a beautiful, happy, loving boy with a wicked sense of humour, that I am proud to take any where I go & family life is so much nicer for all of us.

Now I'm not suggesting that this approach will be effective for all kids with ADHD but its definitely worth giving it a try, what harm can eating a really healthy diet do!!

 

Happy birthday my gorgeous boy, now lets go have some fun!!!
