<ol>
<li>Clean your container so there’s no dust or dirty marks.</li>
<li>Your first level is the rocks. They’ll create drainage for the plants. Put about 5cm layer down</li>
<li>Add your potting mix. You’ll need a good amount for the plants to be able to grown. </li>
<li>Position your plants/cuttings before you plant them so you know where everything will go. Plant them one by one and compact the soil around them.</li>
<li>Give your new terrarium a little water.</li>
</ol>
<u></u><br />
<div>
<u><u><br /></u></u></div>
<u>
Tip</u><br />
Let your recipient know how to look after their new terrarium by making a little swing tag or writing in their card these few things: Lightly water your terrarium once/twice a week. Trim any plants that are growing over the edge or are getting too bushy. </div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Christmas Songs that everyone should know</span></span></h2>
<h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Week Four</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">Its time for some Australian Chrissy songs</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">They dont get a lot of global play but we do have a few Aussie Christmas songs. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">There is some "Crusty the Swagman" and "Prawns on the Barbie" kind of songs but they're not REAL songs. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span id="goog_134508336"></span><span id="goog_134508337"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a>Yes i knowthe guys in skivvies did a couple too.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Heres a few I love and think everyone should know them.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></div>
</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Song One:</div>
<span style="color: purple;"><b><u>Tim Minchin - White Wine In The Sun</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/fCNvZqpa-7Q?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Originally"White Wine In The Sun" appears in the 2008 album"Ready for This?".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The song was released in December 2009 as a downloadable single online, as part of a campaign to get it into the UK Christmas Charts. Although it was unsuccessful he did donate 50% of the December profits of the sales to the National Autistic Society.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the part of his song telling his baby girl that if she finds herself nine thousand miles from home at Christmas when she is twenty one or thirty one that the family will be home waiting for her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's a little too alternative for me mostly but some of his work i love and this song is one of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
Song two:<br />
<b><u><span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47;">Paul Kelly - Who's going to make the Gravy</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="background-color: white; color: #741b47;"><br /></span></u></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/bwMXUAp5rIY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
'Song of the Year' nomination at the APRA music awards in 1998 and Paul Kelly sang the song at the 2012 AFL Grand Finals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had been asked to contribute to a Charity music album and decided to have a go at writing one. He was inspired by Irving Berlin's White Christmas (covered in week 2 of our Christmas songs).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its about a prisoner writing to his brother and lamenting on missing Christmas with the family this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The recipe for the Gravy is apparently true, Kelly got it from his first father in law. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its pretty Australian huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Song Three:<br />
<b><u><span style="color: #274e13;">Rolf Harris - Six White Boomers</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></u></b>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/gMWHhK9fwuc?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now we are talking Christmas songs and not the current alleged criminal status of the artist. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So What is not to love about this? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Poor Joey loses his Mummy (probably wasn't listening and doing as he was told I'd say) but good old Santa takes him in his Sleigh a to find her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you know there are White Kangaroos pulling the sleigh. Now i had assumed that they were white because they had covered themselves in Zinc cream so they don't get burnt out in the "blazing sun" but apparently there is a reason they are white. Mr Harris wrote the "Six White Boomer's" song because even though he grew up in Perth everyone always sang Christmas songs with snow in them hence they are white -kinda having a bit of a go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also six not twelve pulling the sleigh because he believes that one big male Boomer is stronger than two Reindeer's. Fair call.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all works out ok they find little Joey's Mumma and its all good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Harris actually topped the UK Christmas Charts for six weeks in 1969 with his recording of the "Two Little Boys" a song written about the American Civil War in 1902. It sold over a million copies and was awarded a gold disc.</div>

<h3>
<u><span style="color: #20124d;">Cute Reindeers</span></u></h3>
These cute little guys can be made to hang as ornaments from your Christmas tree, stuck up on the wall with some blue tack to create a little reindeer family OR stuck onto wrapped Christmas presents as a nice extra decoration.<br />
<div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1EZnEvDkZU83h6AP2AOA8p484ZJC_K49o6uV-vz05zGUt47xThoMtTikF_BNXDPJfOd2WgZQXGcp1pWs0IMPpUXjCOWdI0z4GMPfmKsZ-r2HOjwCsH3GBDM_CCTZd4V6iJsd5sI2OhLmP/s1600/stickreindeercoll.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1EZnEvDkZU83h6AP2AOA8p484ZJC_K49o6uV-vz05zGUt47xThoMtTikF_BNXDPJfOd2WgZQXGcp1pWs0IMPpUXjCOWdI0z4GMPfmKsZ-r2HOjwCsH3GBDM_CCTZd4V6iJsd5sI2OhLmP/s200/stickreindeercoll.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
For each reindeer you’ll need: 3 x pop sticks (plain, coloured, short, long – any kind you like!) <br />
2 x googly eyes <br />
1 x small pompom ball <br />
1 x pipe cleaner <br />
craft glue </div>
<div>
<br />
1.Glue two pop sticks together to make a ‘V’ shape. <br />
2.Glue the googly eyes half way up each pop stick. <br />
3.Curl the pipe cleaner around and around the centre of the third pop stick then bend the two ends of the pip cleaner to look like antlers. <br />
4.Glue the third piece on, placing it above the eyes. <br />
5.Glue the pompom ball to the bottom of the V to make a nose and leave it all to dry. <br />
<br />
I showed Miss Two how to make the first reindeer, and then let her glue and stick all the other reindeer's together (with my guidance). She loved picking her own colours and being in charge of creating her reindeer's.<br />
While she was busy picking and gluing the eyes on, I made the antlers as they were a little too difficult.<br />
<br />
Tips: You can glue the pop sticks in advance if you have young children or if you’re unable to leave them in their position to dry. <br />

<u><span style="color: #20124d;"> Christmas Wands</span></u></h3>

<div>
For each wand you’ll need:</div>
<div>
1 x polystyrene foam star (I got a mixed pack of 6 from Kmart for $3)<br />
1 x stick<br />
ribbon/s<br />
red paint<br />
glitter</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1.Poke a hole in the foam star with the stick.</div>
<div>
2.Put a bit of glue on the hole. Position your ribbon over the tip of the stick and push it back into the same hole. This is to keep the stick stable and secure the ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3.Let your child paint the star all over, turning it over to paint both sides.</div>
<span style="text-align: start;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;">4.Give them some glitter to sprinkle over their freshly painted star and then leave it to dry.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: start;">
</span><span style="text-align: start;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;">This has by far been the best Christmas craft I’ve made with Miss Two. It’s very quick easy to make and they look great. Best of all she loved making it and loves playing with it.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: start;">
</span><span style="text-align: start;"></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: start;">You can also to this idea with almost any foam shape you like, just add ribbon and paint!</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />Christmas Songs that everyone should know</span></span></h2>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Week Three!</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Are you enjoying your weekly dose of Christmas Songs ??</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First Song:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>"The Chipmunk Song (Christmas dont be late)"</b></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Written by Ross Bagdasarian (a.k.a. David Seville - The Chimpmunks Adoptive Father) in 1958. Bagdasarian recorded all the voices though the credits are given to the fictitious Chipmunk Characters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It reached number one on the Billboard Top100 in the US and stayed there for four weeks. Funnily enough was the only Chipmunk single to ever reach number 1. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ross Bagdasarian had only one other single that being "Witch Doctor" which also topped the charts in 1958. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZiNmVdFlIL4?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fun fact for you. The Chipmunks were named <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;">Alvin, Simon and Theodore. They were named after Liberty Record's President Al Bennett, Owner Si Warnoker and the engineer on duty when it was recorded, Ted Keep.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">After 45 years the song made it back into the Top 100 in 2008 after the success of the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks"</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 15px;">This song won Three Gramys and Bagdasarians "Witch Doctor" won two Gramys for Musical Engineering. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Second Song:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>"What do you get a Wookie for Christmas (when he already owns a comb)"</u></b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From the Album "Christmas with the Stars - Star Wars Christmas Album"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>I kid you not!!</b></span></i></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/OSWCQ7ALEms?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></span></div>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Most of the Album is sung by Anthony Daniels (C3PO). </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is however most known for the first professional recording of <b>Jon Bon Jovi.</b> </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He sings the lead vocals in </span><span style="color: #0b5394;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.1875px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19.1875px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"R2-D2 We Wish You A Merry Christmas."</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jon Bongiovi (his birth name) was employed to sweep floors at the studio where it was recorded. His Cousin owned the studio and co produced the album. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Track list for the album is :</span><br />

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On a side note, did you know there was a television show "Star Wars Holiday Special"</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was aired only once. November 17 1978 in the U.S. and Canada on CBS. </span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">George Lucas was quoted as saying "If I had the time and a sledgehammer, I would track down every copy of that show and smash it."</span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is lots of random facts and history and Lucas quotes about it but you can look it up i just wanted to share this totally odd song.</span><br />

The range is made with highest quality essential oils and the wicks are cotton making the candle 100% biodegradable. </div>

<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Christmas Songs the ones everyone should know</span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week i am bringing you two songs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
The first one is one of the Greatest Christmas songs of all time and then one of the most surprising Christmas Duets of all time</span></h3>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Bing Crosby performing White Christmas </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>1942 for the film Holiday Inn.</b> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Berlin Irving wrote this song and it originally had a spoken verse talking about the sunny weather in Beverly Hills which was dropped so the song had global appeal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Elvis also covered this song in 1957 on his Christmas Album. The story goes that Irving Berlin rang radio stations and begged them not to play it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now you probably know that one but do you know this one :</span></div>
<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1977 David Bowie and Bing Crosby </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">performing Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth for Television Christmas Special. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Little Drummer Boy performed by Bing was written in 1941 but the Peace On Earth accompaniment was written at the time for this duet and performed by Bowie. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an hour of rehearsal this was recorded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bowie was trying to "normalise" his life at the time (Berlin years) hence the not the Bowie you know look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He did the recording because he knew his mum liked Bing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bing Crosby died five weeks after this recording. The show aired in the states a month after his death and then two months later on Christmas Eve in the U.K.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i style="font-size: x-large;">Peace on Earth was written quickly as a counterpoint for My Little Drummer Boy in this Duet because Bowie allegedly said he hated Little Drummer Boy and wanted to sing something else.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Is there a Christmas Song that you really just dont like?</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week we covered the </span><a href="http://mumstakefive.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/cable-knits-and-bad-perms-lots-of-them.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" target="_blank">WAHM 80's classic "Last Christmas" </a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> you can see it here for a recap on bad perms, cable knit jumpers and broken hearts in a ski resort. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47;"><br /></span>
<i style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">From now till Christmas each week we are sharing Christmas Songs that i think everyone should know.</span></i><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Why? Why not! No real reason just some are so great and some so bad and some are just hilarious!</i></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-small;">I'll include some fun and fascinating trivia (that you just wont want to miss) and maybe a little story of my own.</span></i></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-size: x-small;">I would really really love for you to get into this with me - maybe sing a tune and share some stories with us :) </span></i></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Before you start this
project with your child, make sure you have everything set-up. It’s
best to prepare your foam cone with the craft glue OR double sided
sticky tape before they begin so it’s nice and tacky, ready for
sticking.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Put some the
confetti/glitter into a tray to keep it all in the one place (and to
minimise mess!). Your child can then roll the cone over and over
again getting all the little pieces to stick to it, creating a lovely
homemade Christmas decoration.
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Once it’s dried it’s
best to cover it in contact to keep all the little tiny pieces on
there – you’ll definitely need to do this if you've used double
sided sticky tape as they will drop off over time.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Cut out, or help your
child to cut out a star for the top of the tree. You can also buy
pre-cut stars for very little cost from most craft places.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Make a small cut at the
top of the tree. With a touch of glue, stick a star in place.</div>

<ul>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Small polystyrene foam cones
</div>
</li>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
20+ pipe cleaners
for a cone</div>
</li>
<li><div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
White card or
pre-cut paper stars</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
*This is a little
tricky for the younger ones and I had to do most of it with Miss Two
but she still helped by choosing the colours and poking them in the
foam.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br />
</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Start by poking the end
of the pipe cleaner in one part of the foam and with tension, tightly
wrap it around the cone then push the end tip into the foam to secure
it. Continue this until you can’t see anymore of the foam.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Make a small cut at the
top of the tree. With a touch of glue, stick a star in place.</div>

This week we're sleigh sliding into 1984 with WAHM! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WAHM's Wake Me Up Before You Go Go spent 7 weeks at number 1 in the Australian Top 40 in 1984 and George Michael was there for another 4 weeks at number 1 with Careless Whispers. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This however was a bad year to release a Christmas Song because it was the same year as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Do They Know Its Christmas" by Band-Aid which spent 4 weeks at number 1 in Australia in January 1985. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This song did make it to Number 2 in the UK behind Band-aid of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WAHM did donate the royalties from the song to the Ethiopian famine charity which was 250,000 pounds!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Lots of cable knits and perms! </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Its a break up song with lots of 80's clothes and hair do's</span></i></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
One of the things I love to do most is gardening - on a small scale. It’s something that I've become used to with all the moving and living in rental properties. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
After making this I think I am hooked, </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
I've already started planning my next beach themed terrarium!</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
We have had our little fish tank for years and years. It’s been home to hermit crabs, tropical fish and now….. plants! It’s travelled from Darwin to Brisbane to Sydney and has done us well. It only cost $30 when we bought it but recently one of the top glass covers broke making it unsafe and pretty much useless for any pets. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
So if you have an old fish tank, vase or glass jar you’re not using then give this ago and make it useful again. It doesn't cost much, it looks great and there’s very little maintenance to keep it going.</div>

*I used cuttings from my succulents; these are my favourite plant to cut. The original plant just keeps growing and putting out new shoots and the cuttings start growing roots immediately. They’re hardy and they are cheap to buy.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<u>How to create:</u></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
1. Clean your container so there’s no bacteria or dirty marks.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXav8mscRDVjbjqYDzX44DDjJJYNt5X8DeJkHoHEYSL_49HjIjBFWfxOWbdwnUw3kdy5cqhYR2379eoqrEUmAp-uSN5Vt6UvFsUYay3rmOhP3M7rSj-quh0vqygD6QOp2m7hzWBsH5ApyG/s1600/2013-10-22+20.20.22.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXav8mscRDVjbjqYDzX44DDjJJYNt5X8DeJkHoHEYSL_49HjIjBFWfxOWbdwnUw3kdy5cqhYR2379eoqrEUmAp-uSN5Vt6UvFsUYay3rmOhP3M7rSj-quh0vqygD6QOp2m7hzWBsH5ApyG/s200/2013-10-22+20.20.22.png" width="200" /></a>2. Place your rocks in gently to make the bottom level, this is for drainage and prevents root rot.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
3. * If your terrarium is going to be living indoors or has a lid - Add a layer of charcoal. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This will prevent the soil from becoming smelly. You can buy it from most pet shops for around $5 - $8</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTg4uumzsxfn63-LKgB9tfnlVcpFDotmyY3035_wjHY5XRk3tFps6SQKD6KTcqKC6LiYzyWI8x_v2_DQ3z_pdG_07cKfisH0K1Ckbuul6YlK3wNkuUtqPd1T9AKKj_slegF_GGLU3NbVjP/s1600/2013-10-22+20.26.19.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="105" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTg4uumzsxfn63-LKgB9tfnlVcpFDotmyY3035_wjHY5XRk3tFps6SQKD6KTcqKC6LiYzyWI8x_v2_DQ3z_pdG_07cKfisH0K1Ckbuul6YlK3wNkuUtqPd1T9AKKj_slegF_GGLU3NbVjP/s200/2013-10-22+20.26.19.png" width="200" /></a>4. Cover the charcoal/rocks with a layer of moss. This will keep your levels clear and looking neat by preventing soil from spreading through the rocks. Sphagnum moss is the best. Keep any left over moss for the top. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
5. Add your potting mix.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

Position your plants/cuttings before you plant them so you know where everything will go and then plant them one by one and compact the soil around them.</div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
7. Give your new terrarium a little drink then place any leftover moss you have in between the plants.</div>

<u>Maintenance:</u></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Lightly water open containers twice a week and closed containers once a fortnight. </div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Trim any plants that are growing over the edge or are getting too bushy. </div>

How many strips you'll need will depend on their width and length. I have my sizes listed at end of post. You'll need about 6 - 12 strips. Make the last few a little shorter so they sit better inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fold the strips in half just so you know roughly where the ends need to meet.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Zucchini and Ricotta Gnocchi</span></b><br />
Its not as hard as it appears really. If you can make a dough you can make Gnocchi. Its just getting the flour mix right not too much it tastes floury, tastes tough or falls apart when cooked or too little it doesn't bind or is too sticky. You'll be right add a little at a time and it'll be fine.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Ingredients:</b><br />
<br />
4 cups Zucchini, grated<br />
1/4 cup chopped herbs<span style="font-size: x-small;"> ( I use mostly Basil, Chives and Parsley from my garden but you can use whatever you prefer)</span><br />
2 teaspoons lemon zest <span style="font-size: x-small;">(optional)</span><br />
500grams Ricotta<br />
2 egg yolks<br />
1/4 cup (parmesan), finely<br />
1 cup flour (about you may need a little more)<br />
<div>
2 teaspoon smoked Paprika (Its not hot at all)<br />
<div>
Salt<br />
<br />
<div>
<b>Method:</b><br />
Grate the Zucchini, Salt it well and then leave to drain in a colander for a good twenty minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. It is important to get all the moisture out so it be thorough.</div>
<div>
<br />
Mix the Zucchini, Herb, Lemon, Ricotta, Egg, Paprika and Cheese then mix in enough flour to form a dough that is not too sticky to work with. Getting the balance can be tricky just add a bit at a time.</div>
<div>
The idea is to use just enough flour so its not sticky but enough so it holds and not too much so it falls apart when cooking. <i>Its hard to say exactly how much flour because it depends on your ricotta and moisture in your Zucchini but i think i've made it sound very difficult its not you'll be right :)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>

<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
Take handfuls of the dough and roll into 1 inch thick strings then chop into 1 inch pieces.</div>
<div>
<i>I use a mat or chopping board and flour it really lightly just so it doesn't stick to the board. Tyr and use your fingers only to roll it out lightly. </i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a large saucepan of boiling hot water test your Gnocchi to see if it holds when cooked.<br />
Cook the Gnocchi in boiling water until it floats, remove and enjoy in your favourite sauce.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sauce<br />
Simple is best i think when you have such beautiful flavour Gnocchi. A plain butter sauce or simple tomato. Whatever you like :)<br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A base. we used the largest flower pot base we could find and then just drilled a couple of holes in it. You could use any sort of plastic storage container, litter box, baking tray. </li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li>Potting mix or soil. </li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li>Environment items like rocks and we used an old branch broken up. We also used a smaller flower pot saucer for a lake.</li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li>Plants. Succulents are best as they don't really mind being snapped off and planted somewhere else. We had a variety at our place already but if you don't maybe a neighbour wouldn't mind you having a piece of theirs? </li>
</ul>
<br /><ul>
<li>Some dinosaurs we had a collection already but you can buy small packs of dinosaurs from most department stores or variety stores. You don't need to use dinosaurs how about fairies, Lego men or army men. Any of those little figurine type things. </li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Cauliflower Patties</b></span></div>
<b> INGREDIENTS</b><br />
<br />
200g Cauliflower<br />
1 Egg<br />
50g grated cheese<br />
1 Tbls Wholemeal Flour<br />
1 Tbls Chia Seeds<br />
1 Tbls Tarragon<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>METHOD</b><br />
<br />
Grate your Cauliflower. (I use as much stalk as will easily be grated if it gets woody just discard)<br />
<br />
Roughly chop the Tarragon.<br />
<br />
In a large bowl lightly whisk your egg.<br />
<br />
Add your Cauliflower, grated Cheese and Chia seeds.<br />
<br />
Stir in the Wholemeal Flour and Tarragon.<br />
<br />
Leave your mixture to rest whilst you prepare your pan. <br />
I lightly fry these in Sunflower oil over medium high heat. leave on one side for few minutes before turning. If its sticking just leave another twenty seconds and try again.<br />
<br />
Rest on paper towel and season before serving.<br />
<br />
These are really tasty served as a side or as a main with vegetables and salad<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Review of the new expanded Kmart Home Range and Giveaway<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Kmart Australia has this week launched a new “Expanded
Home Range”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They set themselves a new mission:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“To inspire Aussies to once again make their home their
sanctuary, without breaking the budget.”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like to have a nice home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I like to have a few items that are trendy and in style.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I usually don't and yes the budget generally restrains me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was offered the opportunity and well yes I jumped for it. To check
out the new expanded home range, put some to use and let you all know what I
think. Brilliant!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went with the idea to maybe update, replace and revamp a few things
in my kitchen as part of my spring clean.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was honestly impressed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I liked the ideas,products and colours. I liked that it’s all modern really versatile and that there is </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">everything you
are looking for accessories for the home, new bed linen, light fittings, wall hangings, new furniture and storage options Kmart have changed the lot. Its fresh, it’s a little trendy, its smart and its
affordable. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They have a couple
different themes being Urban, Classic and Coastal and I’m sure there is
something for all within those styles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You have to
admit this isn’t the old Kmart! Its just
gorgeous!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the Kmart home design</i> <i>team (thank you Kate)</i> to get a better understanding of how it works :<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><b>Mum: Where do
you draw most of your inspiration from?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kate: We
literally look everywhere – from global trend researching sites (who pull
together future forward trends for the global retail market), magazines, blogs,
catwalks, historic homes and nature! We are constantly looking – one of our
recent quilt cover designs was inspired by a sea shell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><b>Mum: How long
does it take for a product to go from an idea to on the shelves?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kate: We work
at least a year in advance so we have to be fantabulous style spotters and
identify the trends early. We work hard to design the best possible items for
our customers, so we can offer them our amazing prices on the most wanted
styling and home pieces. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><b>Mum: Does one
person or a team decide whether a product would be good or not and do you test
them all out?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kate: It’s
very much a team culture here at Kmart, and our workshops are always full of
ideas as designers and buyers work together, talking products and trends. Our
buyers have fantastic insight in regards to the now – So, what do our customers
need and want? What are the best materials? How many options do we need? Our
designers takes all this info and use the trends to create something unique for
Kmart. We are always checking throughout the process that we are being true to
our customers and what they want, and usually by the time it hits the shelves
we can’t wait to buy the item for ourselves!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Mum: Are a
new release of homewares something we will see often, can we hope to find new
looks each season?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kate: As part
of our strategy, we are focussed on making sure the key everyday items are on
trend and available all year round. But, we also add new items to ensure we are
including global trends and must have products in our range – plus we want to
keep inspiring our customers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><b>Mum: If you
could choose only one product from the new range to have which one would it be
and why ?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Kate: The
glass bell jar is a favourite of mine! It can look fab in any environment and
it will show off my favourite things (plus it stops them from getting dusty!!)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The new expanded home range from Kmart is definitely something to go check out. I guarantee you'll come out with something; A candle, bowl, mug, kids cushion, wall hanging something its all covered and all at almost too good to miss prices. </span></div>

I love this. So cool. Use in the
fridge for the little jars of things, in the pantry for your sauces, how about
storing your breakfast spreads and seasonings and just move the whole thing to
the table at breakfast time. My five
year old did think it was a playdoh pottery wheel sort of thing but I did think
that a pencil and crayon holder was pretty good too.</div>

This I like because it uses the space in the pantry that would totally
be wasted. My tea boxes and coffee pods
can now sit above the rest of the teas and coffees saving me a lot of space, Great
for small things like baby foods, or brilliant to hold safely seaweed and rice
paper.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It also inspired what I planned to serve for dessert, Plum Pie!</span><br />

Themed Collage – Craft for your Toddler</h2>

This was Miss 2’s afternoon activity. She had a tray of
cut-outs from her current favourite book - Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and
a window of clear contact where she can stick her cut-outs anywhere she
pleases, all by herself! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Creating new things on their own can boost a child’s
self-confidence and help them develop new skills they didn’t know they had.
Miss 2 loved doing this and was very proud of the end result. It is now on the
wall in her bedroom.</div>

Depending on how
many you cut, it can take a little while so best to do it when your toddler is
preoccupied or during nap time.</div>

Find a low window (or use the sliding door) so they will be
able to reach all areas. Cut two sheets of clear contact roughly the same size
as each other. Peal the backing off one of them and sticky tape the corers to
secure it to the window. </div>

clear paper on the window was sticky and I got her to touch it so she knew what
I meant. I told her that she can put her
pictures anywhere she liked on there but once she put it down it was stuck. She
carefully placed each piece (even if some were upside down) all by herself. </div>

confetti glitter to sprinkle in the gaps. Of course she loved doing this and it
was rather messy but it was another good lesson for her. Getting messy with
glitter and seeing how things stick together to create a picture is all part of
early learning experiences and helps build a child’s knowledge base. </div>

When she was fished making a wonderful mess I added to it by
shaking off the excess confetti. I then covered the whole picture with the
second piece of clear contact. I folded the sticky ends over and trimmed any
bits that stuck out or looked too rough. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s it! It’s ready to be put up on Miss 2’s wall.</div>
