et me tell you about my siblings. We’re all very different from each other, physically and in personality.
I’d probably be the quietest one. I have a dry sense of humour. I pipe up with one liners every now and then. I’m like the mother hen. I organise everyone. Cook for everyone. And pretty much just make sure that everything is going as I we want it to. I’m the boss lady.
My younger brother is quiet too. But only really when you compare him to my two sisters, but more about them in a second. My brother is extremely funny, with his own quirky sense of humour. He’s a very talented motorbike rider, winning medals for cross country riding {I’ve probably called it the wrong thing – but whatever it is, he’s a dare devil}. He can also fix anything, and is the sort of person you call when you need someone to tell you that it will all be okay.
My Lil Sis and Big Sis, they’re like foghorns. Different in personality, but both veeeeery loud. Lil Sis is into everything being clean and sanitary. I’m sure she keeps a pack of dettol and glen20 in her back pocket. She’s smart, great with money, organised and always {always!} enthusiastic.
Big Sis is a go getter. She’s a singer but also Vice President of an International company {you may have one of their credit cards in your purse}. She’s teeny , and she’s sassy. Men fall at her feet. They always have. She’s the life of any party and has more friends than I could possibly count.
Last Friday night Ma, and my two sisters came around for a pasta dinner {it was pretty mediocre by the way}. It came bedtime for little Lacey so I headed down to bed to put her down. I could hear my two foghorn sisters laughing their heads off. Lacey isn’t the easiest baby to put to sleep so I was anxious that their laughter would keep her awake. I also wondered what on earth they were laughing at. When I left they were watching The Biggest Loser and that’s not usually funny.
Lacey nodded off without much trouble at all. I had nothing to worry about. I headed upstairs to find my two sisters in hysterics reading my blog. It warmed my heart and made my smile. And I’m still smiling now.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again – Your family are so lucky to have you say such lovely things about them!
What made me smile today? Two words. Stationary. Shopping. I've made so many unnecessary impulse purchases, but they have made me happy, nonetheless.

I had a surprise visit from my mum and dad… they live 4 hours away so surprise visits never happen.I got a big shock when i saw them at the front door…
I am wishing my house had been a bit tidier though!!!
That's beautiful …it sounds like you have a gorgeous family XX
what made me smile today was when my 2.5 year old son picked some flowers from our morning walk & gave it to me and said “are u Happy now mummy”:)
Gorgeous story…sisters are fun..I have 5 of them 🙂
Sounds like you have a fantastic family.
Whate made me smile today.
My little sister because she's HAPPY.
@Jane: Thank you. I am crazy about stationery too. I'm in heaven at Officeworks or the like.
@Bee: Awww. That's nice. You're idea of messy isn't very messy anyways. x
@Mirela: That is so so cute. xx
@Anna: 5? Wow. That's so lovely. xx
@Victoria: That's so nice to hear. xx
I got a text message from my dad this afternoon. It said:
Hey girl.
Dont phone-bad hands-going to bed
will phone u later
luv dad
It's so cute. That he uses text speak and bad punctuation (he would NEVER do that if he was typing on a computer or writing on paper), but also that he hits 'enter' on the phone to go down a line.
Even though it's a sad SMS – he has an arthritis-like condition that is completely debilitating when it flares up – it's just so cute that it made me smile.
I love your 'One Thing' posts.
This made me smile – thank you!
I only have one sister, but she is the bestest sister ever :o)
when I returned from the hairdresser Monte was so happy to see me and kept hugging me. The affection stage is just starting now I think (he's 13 months) and oh it is nice after 12 months of give give giving mercilessly (but of course lovingly!!)
nice story re: your fam
What made me smile today? Seeing my boys come out of school at 3.30pm with delighted, happy faces, when they saw me waiting for them 🙂 So special, priceless, so happy to see Mum! My heart melts every afternoon when school's out 🙂
Your siblings sound like a lot of fun! I love having my brothers and sister around, and we're really close like you guys. It's what is making me want to have another baby – so that my daughter can experience that sibling relationship.
Hey, I'll tell you what made me smile today… when I was getting dressed this morning and noticed my waist! Haven't seen it for a while, but I have lost 5kg this year and it was there under all that flab all this time LOL
