I can't wait till I can 'officially' start and then we can swap ideas with each other :) Thanks for sharing the beef stew recipe! I am definitely going to try it - what did you eat it with? By itself or with bread or with rice? Wow, your new scrapbooking pages look fantastic!! I can’t wait till I can ‘officially’ start and then we can swap ideas with each other :)

I figure once he stops napping so much (still 4-5 naps a day of about 45 minutes each) then I will have very little time. I tend to do it at night though once he is in bed for good but still... A lot of my mummy friends on this side of town have older kids in kindergarten or school already but I guess I see them as great "sempai`s"! I get cabin fever if I stay in too much but I usually manage to get my cleaning done for the day in the mornings while Shun is still home- then do the major stuff on weekends (when Shun is supposed to be home, but lately hasn`t been due to work) - the dinner gets prepped and washing hang out during Noah`s first morning nap, if not sooner and the plates get washed then too (if there is any to be washed)- the other stuff I guess I do on alternate days like the bathroom, dusting, floors! General tidy up I do everyday- I hate clutter and so I guess if anyone was to pop over at anytime the house is fairly presentable- except maybe for dusty floors! Seriously, even after I vacuum or mop them with those paper things it is dusty again with in an hour. I hate it! I am a speedy cleaner. LOL! I guess I am not much of a perfectionist when it ocmes to cleaning- i do the minimum although my MIL`s house is kind of cluttered so whenever she is here she is always like "sugoi" but we haven`t had 50 years to accumulate a lot of crap yet! hehe! Give us time! Looking forward to not having to lug nappies or rice home anymore! YAY! Oh you are lucky to have some mummy friends close by now (ie, Sophie, and Natasha too right? I have not met Natasha but a close friend of mine Zoe is good friends with her)- plus you seem to have the whole cleaning thing down pat. I wish I was a better cleaner! Laura A- Yeah I know!

The older baby gets, the less time you get to do that sort of thing :) But sounds great to get together with friends and scrapbook! I never really had any mummy friends close by, or much time for some reason. Guess I need to be more organised and less picky about cleaning! Great that you don't have to lug heavy things and baby home from the supermarket anymore too! I remembered those days, I hope it makes your life easier. Great scrapbook!
