School holidays here in SA are later than we had in QLD the girls broke up on the 12th April for 2 weeks of fun filled break and keep mummy busy lol

the first weekend we spent with a friend cleaning up her house and we all got a hair cut, plus caught up with My sister (the girls Aunt) who gave them both a second hand sleeping bag which came in handy for Miss Alex as she had the first week of the holidays away with Mids Camp (Camp Quality) this is covered in the post before this one ♥

I found this photo from the relay so thought I would share it too

these two Lovely Ladies came on this day to meet Miss Alex as she was on their local paper ♥

This is Miss Alex with another young Survivor opening the ceremony with the Lord Mayor

the first week of the holidays as it was just Robyn and myself home we did a few different things special for her and one on one time ♥
Robyn  got sick after Alex went away, think it was just over doing it all ♥

Tuesday we helped a friend with sorting out things was good to get outside the house,
Miss Robyn has missed her sister but on Wednesday 17th we went to the park and I took some Photos and she got to play ♥
we also did a walk at sunset back to the park ♥

I also got an email from an editor from Take 5 wanting to share alex's story and spread awareness so that is on the card s soon too

we are still waiting for our referal from QLD to see the oncologist here in Adelaide SA. and Alex gets her flu shot today she is worried but when super flu's are around better to cover her than hope she doesn't get sick ♥

Alex is also going on mids camp this year here in SA she is a little younger but they said she can go I was happy to wait for the right camp as then a night with Just me and Hubby as they would have been together,

she will be gone for the whole first week of school holidays,

Moving Forawrd

we have been in SA over 3 months now and getting into the regular routines except scans are due and no one has contacted us yet so we called around and things have been delayed, so some stress with that but not a big deal,

Girls started Cheer-leading training last month and love it :)

they are doing well at school to but are missing their friends as well :(


I signed up for a 12 week push body challenge just to jump start my weight loss and get me back on a healthy eating plan and so far tired and sore but pushing through with out doing to much.

we are also looking are rescuing a cat or two looking a 2 next week that need a home and are in foster care,


I am also still studying but have hit a block :( but will try get into it full on soon and also doing a photography course that has helped me out so much with learning new things and how to use my camera better I have been off auto for a couple of years now but this course is helping me with the little things that get over looked

we got in the local paper last week to and they are looking at getting Alex and another young survivor to lead the survivors walk Alex will be their youngest walker this year, plus a possibility that both these young survivors will be opening the event with the mayor,

now to sit back and hope I hear from the hospital to get scan date sorted and move forward again 

on a sad note i know 5 warriors in Australia that have gained their wings and a couple of adults too so HATE CANCER majorly at the moment :(

Hugs your loved ones often you never know what is around the corner and we all should enjoy what we have here and Now
