Halloween is upon us!
I just love Holidays! I adore decorating for the Holidays, and Halloween is no exception. Halloween will be here in just over two weeks and I have spent the past month prepping for it.
I have joined the Halloween Party over at A Fanciful Twist on the 17th October. So, from now until the end of the month all, and I mean all, of my posts will be about Halloween. I am hoping to create a candy table, Halloween tree and so much more! There will be hand made candy recipes, cupcakes and crafts here along with links as to where to buy everything! I hope you enjoyed the little tasters!
~ Thank you ~
I had to finish the week with a few thank you's to fellow bloggers who not only have wonderful blogs to read but because they also leave the most wonderful comments on my blog, mention me on their blog and award me with prizes for just saying hello!
No doubt you have read their blogs but here are my favourites that if you don't already following this weekend would be a great time to catch up with them.
Thanks Meredith for mentioning me this week - it made my day - my week actually!
Oh Millie you are so funny - not only do you keep me laughing daily when I read your blog but you also leave lovely comments on my blog to keep me inspired
Lee and I share the same name and the same birthday - amazing. On top of this I won her giveaway last week - a Madison Living Magazine which arrived on my doorstep today in time for some weekend reading. Thank you Lee
So if you haven't already I would encourage you to pop on over and visit these lovely ladies.
Enjoy your weekend.
Multitasking

As I ascended the 11 stairs from the garage into my home earlier today, I pondered the concept of 'multitasking'. Why the sudden mindless musing, you might well ask?
This particular thought came as I hoisted not only myself, but also my nine month-old daughter, my purse, five litres of fabric softener (that's a whole 'nother story), a laundry hamper and a 320 bulk packet of baby wipes into the house, all with my car keys clenched between my teeth. Once I relieved myself of all of these items, except for poor Fern who had slid by this point down somewhere around my legs and was clutching on for dear life. I simultaneously changed her nappy, unpacked the groceries, folded the washing, filled the dishwasher, phoned a friend and sorted the mail, all whilst mentally scrolling through my recipe roladex to decide what to make for dinner.
Multitasking.
Before baby, my idea of multitasking was straightening my hair whilst applying my lipstick. Driving the car whilst SMS'ing inserting a CD. Typing up an email whilst drinking a cup of tea. You know, that sort of thing.
Motherhood has changed my perception of multitasking, along with just about everything else I thought I knew. Motherhood takes the concept of multitasking to a whole new hemisphere, hell, a whole new stratosphere!
What's YOUR recent experience of multitasking?
