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

Wyatt...

Little preface...Saxon was 3 in July and still isn't toilet trained (not that we're concerned, either was Wyatt). We mention it pretty often to try and get the idea in his head. So far it's not sticking...

(While changing Saxon's nappy)
Me: Maybe next time you need to do a wee you should do it at the toilet like a big boy. You could sit on the special seat or stand up like Daddy and Wyatt do.

Saxon: Wyatt stands up and wees in the bath all the time.

Wyatt: Saxon I do not! You're lying! Mummy he's lying!

Me: Good...I'm glad that's not true.

Wyatt:
Yeah. Sometimes I sit down in the bath and wee.

Me: ... (This conversation was 20 minutes ago. I still have nothing to say)

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...
