Heres how to pull an unsuspecting practical joke

If you are looking for a way to get back at someone who is ever pulling pranks on you.  There are many of those kind of characters out there, who are always thinking of new ways to pull a prank on you whilst you least expect it.  Now is the time to get back at them!

Who would ever think that opening a birthday/greeting card, gift, book or letter would be a chance to get them back.  You will then be on top of them, in the practical joke stakes!  Ha!

Heres your chance!  Magic Butterfly

They've been in the UK some time now and I thought it was about time they made their mark on the Australian pranksters!

How it works? 

Place inside anything from greeting cards, letters, books and even gifts!  The list goes on and on!

They can be used multiple times too!

You can even put them in the post to prank someone on the other side of the world.  I have been doing this for years now.  Its awesome! 

It works every time!  He he!

You can now get them in Australia http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Magic-Butterfly-For-Cards-Letters-Books-or-Gifts-/261188387272?pt=AU_Party_Supplies&hash=item3cd00a81c8

School Backpacks Changing

Is your childs school backpack actually harming him/her?

I recently had this discussion with my husband.  He read an article not too long back about an Australian woman who lived in Dubai for many years and noticed that the children there are actually saving themselves future neck and back pain.

In actual fact in Dubai they have thrown away the school backpack and introduced the pull along school bag. 

It certainly makes sense to me.  Why harm their backs and necks by carrying an over sized, heavy backpack.  My little boy is only at the beginning of his education, so his bag will only get bigger and heavier as he needs more books.

Its so funny and a shame when you see the new Kindergarten kids starting school each year, as their school bags are bigger than they are.

This article goes into the pain in the neck in more detail http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2008/09/18/2368222.htm

Another study here:  http://www.iea.cc/ECEE/pdfs/art0212.pdf

So, bring on the roll along school bags!  I want to prevent my son from future neck and back pain.

The woman I spoke about earlier has since become a millionaire by introducing this concept over here in Australia.  Well done to her I say, as she has become financially free by doing something good for our future generations.

I found lots of cute designs for both boys and girls and also cool ones which I will purchasing for my son.

Oldies but the besties!

Never underestimate the quality of an old classic movie!

I think its rather fitting with the Easter holidays fast approaching that I share with all you yummy mummies out there a quick fix for a rainy day.

Get out the old classic films for the little ones.

Home Alone 1, 2 and 3 are to name a few.  My little boy is 6 years old and he absolutely loves these.  I can remember myself as a kid loving these films too.

So give it a try this coming holiday!

There are SO many to choose from, use your imagination and dig those favourites from your childhood.  The kids love them and love them more when you share with them that those were your favourites when you were little.

It started with a Saturday Job

Its been way too long!  I have been MIA for way too long.  I am now officially back!

It started with a Saturday job,

After months of ringing around real estate offices to try and get my foot in the door.  My dream was realised when I called W Real Estate and the lovely Marketing girl that answered the telephone was ever so helpful.  It made a change to all the No's and we'll keep you in mind if anything pops, that I had previously received.

She answered in a friendly manner, as they all do, I gave her my spiel that I was looking for a job in the industry and that I am studying for my Certificate of Registration.  She was interested!  Hallelujah!  She then went on to explain that there was a position coming up on the Reception, although only working Saturdays.  That was perfect!

I went and met the business owners, very nice guys, seemed to love what I had to say and even mentioned that with all my positivity and mentioning Brian Tracy in there that I would be suited to Sales!  This was music to my ears!  After all, that was my ultimate goal!

I heard the following week the position was mine and I start work the following Saturday!  Amazing!  I was in heaven, so pleased and so proud of myself.  I have come a long way!

So, there I was working Saturdays!  It was perfect for the whole family!
