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

Alfie...

This year we had a very special Christmas visitor. His name was Alfie, the Elf on the Shelf. Alfie's job is to hang out and watch over us all, and report back to Santa each night to determine whether the boys should be on the Naughty or Nice list. He also got up to all kinds of mischief while we were sleeping...

























See you next year Alfie! We'll miss you xxx

Only 8 days to go...

And I really wish people would stop telling me that! I'm not ready. I'm not gonna be ready in 8 days either.

I did however, manage to wrangle the horrors and take some new photo's of them. They're so cute...and so big!

Remembering the reason for the season...

Happy first day of Christmas!

We had Spirit Night last week...the kids had a ball, and it was so nice to see that although our new school is half the size of the old one, there was easily double the turnout for their Christmas concert!








Wyatt busy watching Grayson take photo's of him and sometimes remembering to actually sing!

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...
