The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: October is Almost Over!
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2014/10/october-is-almost-over.html
Friday, October 24, 2014. October is Almost Over! That means it is only 5 or so weeks until our household launches into the fun of our annual Countdown to Christmas. Instead of getting a chocolate treat every day, we do some kind of activity. Some of these are Christmas related and some are just a little bit of pre-meditated fun. Learn about Christmas in Another Country. Go to local Carols By Candle Light. Dress up and Have Photos with Santa. Go and See the Christmas Lights. Read a Christmas Story. Have ...

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: Christmas Countdown 2013 - 19 Sleeps to Go!

Friday, December 6, 2013. Christmas Countdown 2013 - 19 Sleeps to Go! Make Gifts and Cards for Teachers. Well, it was mainly a card making exercise as I have been having problems figuring out what to give approx 10 teachers that isn't just junk for them to surreptitiously dispose of. Having said that, I think we are about 75% of the way there now. I am glad that today's activity is over. I think the kids are too. These Countdown Activities are supposed to be fun and this one turned bad in the end...Chris...

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: Christmas Countdown 2013 - 18 Sleeps to Go!

Sunday, December 8, 2013. Christmas Countdown 2013 - 18 Sleeps to Go! One day we will have a beautiful hall table to decorate, but I have been looking for one that is just right for a couple of years now and still haven't found it. Until I succeed on that front, the rather unattractive mantle above our unused fireplace gets the attention. It was a good day to do this activity today. The little ones were tired and fractious so having an activity that didn't require too much of them was perfect. Christmas ...

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: June 2011
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 18, 2011. Housework that needs to be done:. Launder the Clothes (is it just me or do dirty clothes breed? I'm sure there are more clothes to launder than we actually own! Tidy the Play Room. But instead of doing that. I am giving in to the urge to bake. Last night I went to a fantastic demo on making Sugar Flowers hosted by the Eastern branch of the Victorian Cake Decorating Society. The presenter was the very talented Handi Mulyana. So I am hoping this book will work a bit better for me.

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: Christmas Countdown 2013 - 17 Sleeps to Go!
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2013/12/christmas-countdown-2013-17-sleeps-to-go.html
Sunday, December 8, 2013. Christmas Countdown 2013 - 17 Sleeps to Go! Make a Picnic and go to the Carols. To finish the day off we hired some Christmas DVDs, watched one all snuggled up on the sofa together and then sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". We don't even have many pictures to show as it really wasn't a day where happy snapping was appropriate. So to make up for that, here is the Hoff. Labels: Change of Plans.

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: August 2012
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 8, 2012. Voula Made Me Do It. And the “Voula” in question will know exactly who she is. Why, oh why, do people ask for trusted recipes of yummy things that I like? And the yummy thing in question today is VERY YUMMY : GINGER KISSES. For the uninitiated, Ginger Kisses are a bit like those American Whoopee Pies that are all the rage at the moment – a nice gingery, cakey sandwich filled with a delightfully light and creamy filling. Yum, yum, yum! Is very simple and on the whole, uses what ...

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: March 2011
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 19, 2011. Housework that needs to be done:. Vacuum / mop floors. Change Sheets on all the Beds. But instead of doing that. I have decided to participate in my beautiful friend Mamarazzi’s Happy List link up. I am happy…. I am happy…. I am happy …. 8230; that technology facilitates communication. This is partly because I hate writing letters and I don’t really feel the need to write letters these days! I am happy …. I am happy …. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: November 2013
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 30, 2013. It's 25 sleeps to go. Until we celebrate another Christmas in our little family. As mentioned in my previous post, last year was the first time we did an activity based countdown. I made up little activity cards that were placed in a string of numbered felt stockings. This year, I wanted to ditch the stockings in favour of playing with my die-cutting machine. So I bought some graphics sets from Lettering Delights. Downloaded some free digital papers from Digitee. My spellchec...

The Housework Will Still Be There Tomorrow!: March 2013
http://domesticdrudge.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. I'm a bit erratic with recipes. There are some dishes which I use the same recipe year in, year out like my coveted lemon meringue recipe, the family belgian biscuits, Nigella's snickerdoodles etc. Others - I try a variety of different recipes, never really getting emotionally attached to them. Easter Buns (Hot Cross Buns) fall into the latter category. Happy Easter to you all! Traditional Hot Cross Buns. Based on Lynn Hutchison's Chatham Island Bread. 20g Butter – melted. Chocola...
