Life skills. It’s all about the life skills. And with spawnlings, it’s all about how you SELL those life skills. Today, let’s focus on cleaning. *that choking, warbling sound you may hear in the background is EG Dad as he cracks up laughing, then stumbles across the EG Lair, stepping […]
Normally, we have blue sky – sunshine, lollipops and rainbows and everything. Well, you get the idea. Lovely weather. The type of weather that entices you towards world domination … If it just wasn’t so damn cruise in your high wing-backed chair… But not today. No, today is day 3 […]
In years gone by (a looooong time ago, minions), people believed that evil things happened during eclipses. The Vikings believed their Sky Wolves were chasing the Sun and the Moon, sometimes even catching them. The delicious snack was an eclipse. Apparently. In Vietnam, it’s a very hungry frog out for […]
ERMERGHERD!!!! IT TASTES SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! *Ahem* As you were. So, as discussed last night in the initial Hail to the Bacon post, I decided to create a bacon-based quiche to truly respect the awesome-ness of Bacon Week in Australia. Awesome little country that. Has a whole week for bacon. Now that’s […]
“I love when we have vegetarian meals with bacon; It’s like ‘Screw you, vegetarians!” – EG Dad This week is Bacon Week in Australia. Seriously. No, I’m not kidding you. But imagine this – if there was ever a way to take over the world, bacon would be it. […]
Sinister’s teacher was a little unsure of the message behind his ‘End of Year’ Gift for her. (read: not Christmas because we celebrate Solstice instead) Sinister made a Crystal Star. A Borax Crystal Star. She was all, “Oh wow. It’s beautiful!”… until I mentioned that Borax is toxic and she […]
I know what you’re saying – “How is Play Dough evil?” True, in its natural form it does not seem very evil. But put this recipe in the wrong hands (or the right ones?) and they will be able to mix up their own dough at any time to copy […]
“I’ve been slimed!!” Today’s Forensic Friday experiment is brought to you by the letter S – for SLIME. Ooey, gooey, slime. Of course Sinister and Nefarious want to make their own slime. And it is a good lesson in chemical reactions (as is any cooking in the house)… My concern […]
The Sun is shining. The sky is blue. Small birds are twittering around. Our kids are in the garden, making a catapult out of a Totem Tennis set. It is simply an awesome day. How are they making a catapult out of a Totem Tennis set? 3yo Nefarious is standing […]
October is pretty much known as “dress-up-and-eat-lots-of-sugar” month. Sure, it’s supposed to be on one day – 31st October. But the other 30 days are for building up your tolerance. And strategising new ways of stealing from the kids. Of course, October then becomes “pin-this-picture-of-my-kids-cool-costume” month, and even “look-at-my-cool-costume-that-I-have-worked-on-for-the-last-six-months” month. […]
