Does anyone else get cross with people using the parents room when they don’t have children?

I was at the MCG yesterday and had to tell a few people to buggar off.  My 17 month old seems keen not to wear nappies (he throws an absolute nana when you put one on him) so even though he wore a nappy, I am keen to encourage him, so I was taking him to the parents room to use ...

I got this one from the Muppets and I want to share - takes a bit of thinking - but very funny…………………..

Many many years ago when I was twenty three, I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be. This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red. My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed.

This made my dad my ...

I thought I’d share this email I received from Planet Ark telling me that they are not interested in reusable nappies (Could that be because they are in "partnership" with a disposable nappy company?)

Firstly here is my email to Planet Ark:

Hello AnnaI have been given your name from a friend.  I am quite familiar with the UK Life Cycle Assessment which concludes that there are no advantages in either nappy system....

Did anyone see the Mandy Mac nappies on Mother & Baby?

And I’m doing an interview with www.showmummythemoney.com.au which is a fantastic website for anyone who is thinking of starting up a business - especially mothers wanting to start up a home-based business.  I highly recommend it.

Oh, and I’m being interviewed for the www.nuvomaternity.com.au newsletter as well.  Plus I managed to score a magnificent little number http://www.nuvomaternity.com.au/product.aspx?ID=27 which a member of my newsletter ...

Just quickly whilst waiting for the babysitter (my mum!) to arrive.  Hubby has gone to Queensland til Sunday so I’ve been re-arranging the loungeroom.  I found the photo of Lydia as a newborn.  I’m so excited as it’s the only good one I have of her til she’s about four  months old - so I’ve scanned it and put it up.  She’s a couple of hours old in the photo - it’s a great one of her, ...

I feel like Barnaby the Busy Buzzy Bee.  I don’t seem to have time to think these days.

Apart from packing orders, answering emails, and the paperwork, I have a competition running.  People have to answer the following "The thing I love most about Modern Cloth Nappies is ……." and wow, my inbox has been beeping away as the answers come in.  Some of them have bought tears to my eyes,  some have made me laugh and ...

Fairtrade fortnight finished yesterday.  I used to use fairtrade tea & coffe, went off it and now I’ve been using fairtrade tea and coffee for about a year.  As an economist I find it difficult to argue against a comparative advantage, but as a human I find it difficult not to want to help out third world farmers.

Fairtrade works basicaly like this.  A business says to a relevant Fairtrade Labelling Organization that it wants to ...

How Exciting!!!

The pic of me in front of the pyramids has been voted by the mumspace powers that be as "Picture of the Week."  It is one of my favourites and sits on a sidetable in the corner of our loungeroom.  However it does annoy me that people as "Is that real?" if they don’t know how extensively I’ve travelled.  And why would I put a fake picture of myself in pride of place?

Pictures of ...

Lydia woke during the night crying.  I grabbed her before she woke her brother and brought her into bed with us.  However I’ve been giving her lentil soup for a couple on nights and the smell from all the yummy curry spices is coming out.  It was in her pores, her breathe, her hair.  Oh, I dear, I had to move to the couch.

She’s such a beautiful child to look at, hard to imagine she ...

I am setting up my mumspace today and this is my first post.  Off to have a look at what else has to be done!
