Kerri's Awesome 'BlogThe rantings of an Aussie on the verge of insanity.

I know, I’ve been slack and didn’t update my blog for the longest time and now I have to catch up.  This is old news, but I’m doing it anyway.  Get  over it. 2009 was my first Halloween in the USA, it also happened to coincide with my girls visiting. Our first taste of Halloween [...]

I have to share… we spent the afternoon at the park with the kids and we all had an absolute ball! Oh shit, there it goes! Meet my niece and nephew!  Gorgeous, huh? Seriously Uncle Brad, get off your lazy ass and chase the damned thing!

Yesterday my eldest graduated from Sydney University with a Masters Degree in Education. She had an army of adoring fans there to witness the event.  She looked beautiful and we were all SO proud. Enough of the study, can someone please teach her how to cook?
