Hi Mums, this is the first time I have had a good look around this sight, I love it! I am a mother to 6 children aged 20,18,16,9,8,6. When I was looking at something in the way of going back to work I wanted something that would work around my busy family but something I would really enjoy enough to take me away from time with my family. I became a Nutrimetics Beauty Consultant. This year will be 4 years and I am really loving it. I get "girly" time with other ladies, inform them how to look after their skin and help them with makeup if they are interested. I would love to introduce this opportunity to other Mum's. You can contact me on my facebook page @ "Ruth's Skincare & Makeup

When you have a big family, I personally think me time is essential! Ok, so i 'only' have 3 kids, and though some days those 3 make it feel like i have 5 or 6, i dont really consider that to be too large. I do however have children i look after. Usually in my care from 7.30am to 5.30pm. We consider them family. We want them to feel they belong here of course, so they are treated as if they are actually my own. This means that Monday to Friday, I have 7 children. Hats off to all your mums that have this many children! Its hard work! And with this many people, 'me time' is hard to get. For me its easy, i just get up before the birds, read the online news

Its true... you forget, and it doesn't take long to do so! I have just taken into my care, a gorgeous wee 12 month old boy. He is super good. Loves sleep and has the most amazing smiles! But I had totally fogotten how busy the dinner hour gets when you have a bubba! This evening miss 12 ended up cooking our dinner. Soooo thankful for her cooking skill today! She saved the day, well dinner, while i rocked the tired wee man on my hip, calming him while we awaited his mums arrival from work.The poor wee guy has never had so many people to play with, and he loves his new friends. Seems its tiring work for him chasing after them all day :P Note to self.... put dinner on

It seems that I just get past one lot of challenging dramas (as in we are now home from Starship! YAY!!!! ), to then run head long into the next phase of "stuff"...I guess I shouldn't refer to my impending arrival as "stuff" but with three weeks to go until baby's due date, I am so unprepared! I have to honestly admit that this one has crept up on me as I've been so busy with our big boy. Thankfully, this baby is reasonably well behaved and hasn't caused any dramas at all!I have no idea of baby's gender as he/she refused to cooperate and kept his/her bits and bobs well and truly hidden during the anatomy scan, and I certainly am not going to part

My daughter is 3 and a half years old and turning 4 in October.So a couple weeks after I give birth:)I think she is excited to be a big sister.But we'll see how she is when her brother or sister gets here:)She has been trying to help me do things,like tidying up and cooking. But I can only keep her interested in that for so long:P.She is telling me she wants a sister. So that they can play princesses and dress up together. But I have been told that I'm having a boy because my mother did the strand of hair and gold ring thing on me. And from what I've been told from mothers who have done that, it's true.I intend to involve Celina as much as possible with our new baby but w

| First Trimester of my second pregnancy

So tomorrow I will be 23 weeks pregnant with my second child:)And decided to try blog weekly about my pregnancy and my kid(s). My first trimester: My first trimester wasn't really that bad. The only symptoms I really got was feeling fatigue.Which lasted about 2 or 3 weeks. And this happened from about 8 weeks- 10 or 11 weeks. I would wake up, could barely get out of bed but because my daughter was in kohanga at the time I had to get up and get her ready and drop her off. But once I did that I would either jump back in bed as soon as I got home or I would make me something to eat, have a shower and then jump back into bed until lunch time. My mum thought I was really low on iron, but I g

| Treasure Hunt!

A new hobby has come to light through a friend of mine who heard of it from a friend of hers. It's called Geocaching. If like me, you didn't really know what it was, it's a cross between orienteering and a treasure hunt.All around the world, there are over two million caches hidden waiting to be found using gps co-ordinates. The cache, which I haven't bothered to look up the meaning of, but I'll assume it means 'container' is hidden in a public place and contains a log to sign to say you've found it, and sometimes a token with instructions of where that token needs to be taken to... eg someone from Australia for example might have found a cache in Hami

My plan for the month has already gone out the window. At the end of April I decided to try not to spend any money, unless majorly nessessary, during the month of May. I think i jinxed myself from the beginning. I think I have spent more this month than i ever have in a single month, and its only the 18th! This month Scouts NZ have an deal with Noel Leemings, offering good deals on products just for us. I took full advantage, buying a new dehumidifier and a toaster. Then Miss 5 somehow managed to talk me into buying her some expensive boots. They were $35 dollars! The most i have ever paid for a pair of childrens shoes!!!I also found some great deals on socks and undercl

Today I thought I would go to Shanton to get a couple of new tops as I had a $20 gift voucher for there. I was pretty excited to be going as I would have no littlies with me and I really really need new tops. So off I go ...... searching searching searching ...... then Bingo! Three tops just in the colours I like and nice looking styles. Skipping off to the change rooms I strip off my grotty black shirt and try on top number 1 ...... oh dear, fits around my mummy tummy but is falling off my shoulders; top number 2 ..... oh groan ....... is such slinky material it shows bits and pieces of my body I'd never noticed .......; top number 3 ....... ooohhhh looks pretty

It's obvious I haven't had much time for blogging lately. I thought that when Pocket started school I would have much more time on my hands, but apparently not. I don't know if I expect more of myself now, or if I waste time more, but I still don't seem to have found a miracle cure to getting everything done I need to on any given day.Incase anyone has missed me, here's how life has been going for me lately...The workshop has been crazy busy, and I'm grateful for that. In hard times and as people pack up and leave small towns like ours, I certainly shouldn't be taking the work coming in for granted, but when times are so busy, if can feel like you're b
