Hubby chooses kids nicknames

Everyone gives their kids nicknames. Now my nicknaming skills are pretty normal, darling for my daughter and buddy for my son, in this blog we are not going to talk about how weird I am, but for once how weird and "creative" hubby is with nicknames.

So a quick run down, our children's nicknames have evolved over time. Almost every week they get a new one. Hubby has the usual names that he uses but then expands on them to make up new and weird creations.
For example, when our daughter was born and for the first couple weeks she was mini darling, we both called her this as she was born 7 weeks premmie and was very tiny so the name suited. Mini has stuck through the year, and several variations have been made, the most recent being mini von sprinkle bottom. I don't know how he came up with this, but I was out running errands and came home to our daughter having a new name.

Our son on the other hand, before we knew his gender the nickname I chose was jelly, because there had been such a short time between pregnancies my stomach was not yet back to pre pregnancy and was well, giggly like jelly. This name has stuck, and both hubby and I use it daily. When jelly is crying hubby turns it into yelly, to rhyme and mention the fact that he is being so loud.  I try to only use my sons real name or buddy, but i'm hearing jelly so much that its caught on. One of the more recent nicknames for him is jelly von daygo, again I don't know                                                                                   where it came from, but it does suit him in a                                                                         way. 

Surprisingly, as much as I prefer to use the kids real names, having these nicknames have become helpful in a way, like if I quickly need to say something regarding one of the kids, like for example, "mini is eating something" hubby instantly knows she has picked up something random off the ground and is sticking it in her mouth, and it was a lot quicker to say that then " our daughters name, has picked up something and is trying to eat it". By that stage whatever it was would already be gone.

So all in all, I don't like some of the nicknames hubby comes up with or the fact that he never uses our kids real names. These nicknames are random and we named the children for them to be called by their names, but on the other hand it is kinda cute and time saving using jelly and mini, hubby really likes it as well, because he can bust out into song and rhyme everything to match their nicknames and make the song work.... Until it gets stuck in my head for hours

So if you have any weird and wonderful nicknames for your children let me know in the comments below.

Garden Of BeLEAF - Their In Big Pots!!

Image
So update time on my veranda/container garden here in Australia in winter. Most of the vegetables I am growing and germinating are ment for warmer months, spring mostly, but as people know Australia is hot as hell, if we get below 21 degrees celcius (69 F) we complain that its to bloody cold. But even with the cold there is still the humidity known throughout all of QLD. Never the less, I have given my seedlings a fighting chance and have been using a greenhouse to help them out. Some have absolutely thrived and are now in their big pots waiting to grow big enough to be harvested. We rent where we live so putting a raised bed in not an option as it will kill the grass. I even asked the owners about garden beds on legs so it is off the ground but sadly still a no, this is why I have decided on containers. It is also helpfull that our varenda recieves the most sun during the day during winter so it is working out well. So today I am going to share which veggies have been up

Healthy Scrambled Erggs That Kids Love

Welcome back to my blog. I must admit that lately I have been very lazy when it comes to blogging. But im back! For the 3rd time. So today I will be sharing my newly discovered recipe that my 1 and 2 year old WILL eat. Which is not very common to find. My kids are not super fussy eaters, but always turn up their nose at what I make. Yet we visit a friend or family member and my kids will eat them out of house and home. Making it seem like they are starved and I never feed them. Which is not the case at all.  I must admit that I am fed up with all the food that goes to waste at my house because the kids will eat some then refuse to eat any more. So I have come up with a new plan that if they don't finish breakfast, it becomes lunch and they wont get any other snacks/new meals made untill its finished. Now im not being harsh and force feeding them food they dont like, just the food that they do like but dont want to finish. This recipe is realitively healthy and uses veggi

How To Clean The Walls When Kids Draw On Them

I feel compelled to write this blog to share some tips for getting the kids "artworks" off your walls. Miss 2 year old had decided that her drawing book was to boring and instead do a lovely master piece the whole length if our hallway, lucky it was only crayon so it is easy enough to get off with the right tools, but there have been some occasions of texta/markers being used. And before I learnt the following trick I was stumped and panicked on how to rid it off the walls quickly. For crayon, colouring in pencils. I use a magic eraser block, there are many different brands depending where you live. But this product is a miracle in a small foam block, great for getting any marks off walls. So for this reason I always keep a stash on hand for evens like this, or if there is any dirty spots, scuff marks on my walls. What you do it wet the foam block, and squeeze out the excess water, and lightly wipe the area you need to clean. Now I cant stress this enough that for a small
