Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

They sell everything at Bunnings...

A conversation with Wyatt the other day... (Bunnings is a giant hardware store, btw. Handy mans Heaven - they sell everything).

Wyatt: I don't like Jasper anymore.

Mummy: Why not? He's a good cat.

Wyatt: No he's not. He jumps on me and I don't like it. I want a new cat now.

Mummy: You're not having a new cat, Wyatt. Pets are a part of the family. You can't just give them away cuz you're sick of them. You wouldn't give Daddy away just because he annoyed you, would you?

Wyatt: Yes I would. And I'd get a new one.

Mummy: Where are you going to get a new Daddy from??

Wyatt: Bunnings!

Daddy better watch himself...

Better late than never, right?

The day our loves changed forever...


In the bath on his 1st birthday...

A big 3 yr old...


4, and going to kindy now...


In his school uniform, giving us his biggest birthday smile on his 5th birthday...

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
