The movie is never as good as the book!

Book vs. MovieOver the Easter long weekend I read The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins.

I read the first book in 6 hours – whilst the boys played outside, had a picnic on the grass and just generally ran around entertaining themselves!  It was wonderful.

The next two books took me a little longer but needless to say I finished the entire series within a four day weekend – in between doing family activities, eating chocolate and spending time with each other.

I was on a bit of a ‘Hunger Games high’ and decided that I really, really wanted to see the movie at the cinema NOW!  So hubby agreed to watch the boys while I treated myself to a movie accompanied by a small coke and a small popcorn.  It has been so long since I have been to the cinema that I had forgotten just how more-ish cinema popcorn is.  Thank goodness I had enough restraint to only buy the small size!

Anyway – the moral of this story isn’t popcorn related it is that the Movie is NEVER as good as the book!  I was terribly disappointed.  I’ve had friends tell me how wonderful the movie is and how it was just like the book.  But they must have either read a different book, seen a different movie or they just don’t have as vivid imagination as I do.

When I read I really immerse myself in the story.  I get taken away to different towns, worlds, times.  I can taste, hear, touch, feel and smell what is going on around me and I can see everything happening through the words on the page.  I am afraid to say that the movie makers never quite capture the magic I feel and I sense when I read.  Either the camera just can’t do it, the actors aren’t quite right or they leave out those snippets of information that although it doesn’t have any impact on the story line the snippets aid in making the story more real.

For example although the Twilight movies were okay to look at Thanks to their well toned stars – the characters as they appeared in my imagination were so much more.  Hunger Games lacked alot of the background information and the emotion that I felt whilst reading the books.  The movie stayed true to the general story but it just didn’t hold the emotion of the book.

Maybe I just need to admit that I am a book nerd and leave the movies to everyone else.  ;-)

What do you think?  Do you generally prefer the book or the movie?  Is there a movie that you prefer over the book?

I would LOVE to hear what you think!  I would also love to know what you think I should read next …… ;-)

Have a wonderful day.

Easter – the aftermath

Happy Easter! I hope you had a great time with family and friends. Easter is a great time for celebrating the importance of life and to be thankful for what you have.  When I assess my situation I am eternally thankful that I have two happy, healthy children who I love dearly. Their smiles make me smile and they help me to see the beauty and appreciate all the smaller things in life.  I have a roof over my head and a husband who loves me. My family are my backbone and I am eternally grateful not only for the upbringing I have had but for their continual support and belief in me.

 

Easter is also a time where I try to explain to the children the reason behind the chocolate eggs and the significance of the occasion in a simplistic way. For Christmas I have a lovely book that explains the significance behind the traditions, however I haven’t ever found one for Easter – do you have any good suggestions of books or how to explain it? I was a little behind this year and didn’t explain the meaning as much as I would’ve liked, so this year ended up being a bit more about the eggs, however next year I would like to get something to help me explain it in a child friendly way. The idea of telling them how he died at the moment seems a bit gruesome and traumatic and not quite something that my 4yr old could understand without being scared.

 

Easter Eggs With Easter over, the chocolate companies are happy and my body will not be with me! I ate so much chocolate on Sunday I felt sick that evening! My face is breaking out with pimples and take a look at the shear amount of chocolate that we still have to get through! Most of it actually belongs to the children, however I will have to play the responsible parent and ensure that I help them get through it as this is simply too much for two children (4 &2) to eat! J

 

So with this much chocolate my brain is working in overload, trying to think of ways to use it up. My favourite is to melt some of the chocolate and add cream and then pour it over vanilla ice-cream (yes I have a weakness for unhealthy food – who doesn’t? ) Do you have any great cooking recipes or ideas that I could do with the chocolate we have?

 

Have a great day! I hope you and the kids don’t feel too sick!

Happy Non-Chocolate Easter!

I can not believe how quickly this year is going by!  Seeing as it is so close to Easter I ventured to Pintrest to find some Easter craft inspiration!  I have to warn you – Im not a very crafty person so I tend to stick to simple, fail safe craft activities.  Otherwise it always ends up with someone being very disappointed.  Either Master M at a craft project that didn’t go as well as he planned or myself when what I had imagined would happen – doesn’t.

So I wanted things that were easy, relatively non-messy and absolutely not chocolate related!

Here are our two craft activities for the next couple of days leading up to Easter!

A stained glass Egg ;-) !  Im going to do this with some clear contact, cellophane in different colours and some cardboard for the

edge.  Ours will probably only be stuck up with blu-tac rather than a nice hook but the effect will be the same ;-) !

This Eggy Bunting!  We renovated a house a couple of years ago and I collected a HEAP of these paint sample chips!  I mean HEAPS which I still have.  All in lovely purple, red and blue shades.  So I think we are going to give this a go too!  Just the paint chips and some twine and it will look brilliant!!

Speaking (or should that be writing) of twine – have you seen the twine eggs?

 

I LOVE these but can’t find the fake eggs anywhere!  The shops are just filled with chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate!!

Both boys WILL be getting Chocolate for Easter BUT I don’t want everything to be chocolate orientated.  They will also be only getting one or two eggs each.  I wanted to get a set with egg cups and a spoon and a little egg – but they are proving hard to find in anything but Dora characters.

Please share your Easter creations with me!  Iam always wanting to find new easy things that I can do with the boys!!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter!  Hubby is taking leave for most of April as he didn’t get any over Christmas last year so we are planning on relaxing as much as possible!   I truely hope you get to relax and enjoy some time with your loved ones.  We all deserve a wonderful Easter together.  Look forward to hearing what you get up to!

Feature Mum: Inna Usov – Ivy Business Consulting

 

Name Inna Usov
Business Name Ivy Business   Consulting
Business Description Ivy   Business Consulting is a boutique practice set up to guide businesses of all   sizes through various stages of the business life cycle. We provide Financial   Controlling and CFO functions on outsourcing basis for those businesses that   would like the services of highly experienced and reputable professionals but   cannot afford them on a full time basis.We   promote a practical approach to business that delivers increased return on   investment.Our   partners have held senior finance, commercial and operational roles in   multiple industry sectors. This cross functional experience has given us   unique insights into being able to offer innovative solutions, enhancing the   ability to think outside the square to assist you in your desire and drive   for results.
How long has your   business been running?  We started Ivy Business Consulting in May   2009, me – pregnant and my business partner – a Mum of 3.
Why did you start your   own business? We both help senior   corporate positions and found we needed more flexibility and more vision in   our lives, less politics of a large corporation and less pressure of holding   a senior position in industries dominated by white, Anglo-Saxon middle aged   males. We wanted to bring a different perspective and change the image of   Business Consultants that are mostly men in suits. We are just two blonds   with 6 degrees between us!
Where does your day to   day motivation come from? Our clients respect   us, we make practical differences to their businesses and seeing real results   is definitely motivating. We save businesses money, we make them more   efficient, we show how to use their cashflow in the most productive and   effective way. The fees we are able to charge for our experience and   education are also a great motivator!
How many children do   you have and what are their ages? I have one 2 year old   boy that is a handful!
Can you please discuss   any/some of the challenges you have had to overcome Our type of business   can only grow through word of mouth, through referrals and networking. Almost   ALL the business we are getting today is through people we know that trust   us. We deal with people’s money. Trust is a big thing. It takes a long time   to build a network of people around you that know what you do, have   appreciation for your skills and value your input.We have attended   numerous networking events and found them of little use – everybody is trying   to sell something, nobody is buying.
What are the key   lessons that you have learned It takes on average   2-3 years to build a small business that will support you financially. Be   prepared to have an alternative source of income meanwhile – husband,   savings, second job – anything to keep cash coming in.You need to get over   yourself and start talking to EVERYBODY about your business, ALL the time.   You never know where the business will come from.You need good,   professional marketing material – brochures, website, cards – all will build   your image.You will work long   nights, sleep little and you must be very organised. You need to have a plan   for every day of every week.You need to know what   you doing all the time in advance and utilise all spare time efficiently.You put your children   to bed and start blogging, marketing, writing support documents etc.You never stop. You   always think about your business – in the car, in the shower, while eating   and even while sleeping.
What advice would you   give to another mum thinking of starting a new business? Make sure you have   people around you that will support you – your partner, your parents, your   friends. You need somebody to bounce ideas off, to make you a cup of tea   every now and then and basically to care for your cause.Start small, try not   to borrow money, utilise your network of friends that will give you ‘mate’s   rate, to help you with various aspects of your business.Keep good records from   the start. If you don’t have accounting software (eg MYOB), keep records of   your income and expenses in Excel.Make sure that from   the start you comply with Government/Industry regulations – ATO, AISC,   Workers Compensation, Public Liability, Copywriting etc. Speak to Ivy   Business Consultants if you need help sorting out financial, operational and   compliance issues.
Would you do it all   again and why? Once you open your own   business and you succeed, you will always be open to new ideas and new ways   to make money. You will rarely go back to working for somebody else. I had   other businesses in the past and currently involved in another two. I will   forever look for new business opportunities. It is very rewarding, if you   persevere.
Anything else you   would like to add? When you succeed, try   giving something back to your community, your support group. Say thank you to   people that cared. Support a charity group – donate money or donate your time   and skills.I am a treasurer of a wonderful charity group   called Stars with Heart. Stars with Heart is raising money to provide   financial support, advice and advocacy for cancer patients as to many people   in Australia cannot afford cancer treatment which can result in a patient   refusing treatment.Inna is also currently undertaking the Kokoda trek to raise funds for Stars with Heart and you can support her here.

What are friends for?

I remember hearing the news (last blog) and thinking “Oh my God how am I going to tell everyone?” As I broke the awkward news to my friends and family, some of them made the comment – next time just don’t tell anyone (expect me) until you are further along. This got me thinking; if that’s the case, then what are friends for?

 

I know everyone is different and everyone handles situations differently, however for me; my friends are the people in my life who I share my ups and downs with. They know the good me, the bad me and the sad me. They are there to enjoy the highs with me, to counsel and provide advice or to simply know that something is wrong and I just need some time to myself.

 

To me, the ability to talk to your friends in both good and bad times not only helps cement the friendships, it also helps create stronger bonds as you may find someone who is or who has gone through the same thing. It can also help them to understand why you are acting different.

 

A while back a good friend of mine stopped coming to our regular get togethers. Her SMS’s were vague and it seemed odd and hurtful and as though she had better things to do. Eventually I gathered the courage to ask what had happened between us. It was at that point she said that she had been going through a personal tragedy. Unfortunately this also made me hurt – I had thought we were close enough to share these things (I know everyone is different and some don’t like to share)

 

Although I couldn’t have done anything to help her with her tragedy, just knowing that she was going through something would’ve meant that I would have understood the no shows or the short and sharp SMS’s and could’ve been more supportive in that way. However because I had not known, I didn’t understand and in the few times we did meet I probably said things that would’ve upset her without knowing, making the meetings for her harder, which could’ve been avoided. Unfortunately we grew so far apart in the 6 months that I hardly see her now and couldn’t count her as a close friend anymore.

 

Knowing all of that, I believe that your friends are there to help you. Be it through talking to you or simply understanding that you are going through a hard time and therefore leaving you alone. So in reflection I do not regret telling my friends that I was pregnant and then having to tell them that it hadn’t worked. I learnt that this had happened to quite a few of them and that they really understood my pain. If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to either as long as your friends understand that something is wrong. One of my best friends wanted to call me to see how I was and I explained (via SMS) that I couldn’t & didn’t want to talk about it. She understood and SMS’d me a couple of days later to see how I was coping. That SMS meant a lot to me as it showed that she cared and was thinking of me.

 

I love my friends and I can only hope that I can provide as much support in the ways they require as and when they need it. Your friends are precious and good ones are few and far between, enjoy them and make sure you don’t do anything to push them away. How do you feel about this? Do you tell your friends most things?

Taking a Break!

As part of reassessing my priorities I discovered something that was taking alot of my time during the day but not really giving anything back to me.  Something that was taking me away from exercise, that I was using instead of doing things I really enjoy and that nourishes my soul.  Something that was ultimately taking my time but not giving very much back.

Facebook.

So I decided to go Facebook free for 1 week. This is nothing new – some of my friends have done it before.  I was positive I could make the full week but was interested to find out why Facebook is so addictive.  Why am I on there so much, why do I let it take up so much of my valuable time?

As I went through the week one thing became apparent – but here is just a few days out of my 7 days without Facebook diary for you to have a look at!

Day 1:  0900hrs – The deed is done – I am off of Facebook for a week starting now.  I’ve deactivated, removed the app from my phone (I am so bad I am considering swapping to one of my not-so-smart phones for the week just to make sure), and removed Facebook from my favourites.  I’ve logged off and my sister has changed my password so that cheating is nearly impossible!

1000hrs – Waiting for it to hit me.  Although I did try to check Facebook while waiting for Master M’s Pre-School doors to open.  This was just habit and I have to admit I was trying to avoid the P&F President so was trying to look terribly busy.  Needless to say I checked my emails 5 times in 2 minutes instead!

1800hrs – Made an awesome dinner and really wanted to write a status about it.  Realised that all I wanted was a pat on the back from friends who live just down the road, friends who live on the other side of Australia or the world and old school friends that I haven’t seen in over 15 years …..  How has that happened?  Since when has that been important to me?  Dinner was awesome – and I am proud of it – but since when do I need recognition / congratulations about that from anyone other than the people who have eaten it with me?

2100hrs – off to bed at a decent time!  I actually watched TV tonight – not the surfing Facebook on my phone type of watching TV.  Tonight, if you asked me, I could actually tell you what I watched  – unlike every Facebook night!

Day 2 – 0700hrs – Went to check Facebook.  Was more of a reflex than a desire.  Sat here and wrote this instead.  So far so good.

1900hrs – I have been in a training course all day today.  I noticed people checking Facebook during morning tea / lunch time and must admit that I did not miss it.  Then tonight I got an email saying work would like me to take on some new responsibilities.  Which would be fantastic!  I wanted to tell people – but had no quick easy way to do it like I would have before – through a status update.

Day 3 – 0700hrs – Woke up, had breakfast and then realised that I hadn’t missed Facebook at all!

1900hrs – Once again the only time I missed Facebook today was when I wanted to tell my friends about something exciting.  Something that isn’t SMS worthy- or phone call worthy – not even really phone call worthy.  But I wanted someone who would understand how excited I was to know about it and to be excited with me.  Even if the other person is on the other side of the world or didn’t find out until hours afterwards.  I wanted them to know!

Day 4 – 7 – passed pretty much the same.

On the 8th day – My sister emailed me the password so I could log back in……… I’ve had that email for 12 hours and still haven’t bothered to log in.

Facebook does connect people – but by connecting people it is isolating them.  This week I have gotten out of the house more, had coffee with friends, I have played out doors alot more, I have played with my boys more, I have read books, I have done some exercise (which is better than the none I was doing) and I have actually sat and relaxed rather than checking statuses and worrying about other people.  Although I love my Facebook friends and most of the friends I have on Facebook are genuine face to face friends the break away is great!

I know I can’t blame Facebook for not doing all these things before, but it is the ultimate distraction, time waster and procrastination tool.  It does link people and it is a great social tool but the amount of time I was spending on there before was excessive.  Facebook was taking over every spare moment I had in my day – and I know that I am not the only one this is happening too.  However now I am taking my spare moments back!

I will go back to Facebook at some stage – but for now I am just as happy to stay away.  Until my health and wellbeing become cemented in my mind and my actions as my priority number one Facebook can stay away.  When it comes to getting praise from others the praise and encouragement from my family and loved ones is enough and it should always be enough.  I don’t need to prove myself, my cooking skill, my work skill or my love for my family to any one else but them.

PS For the record I logged in again not long after writing this post.  Not much had changed – I might drop in again in a week.  Anything important happens you can still call or email me.  Im just not hanging around on Facebook.  Life is too short to spend it all obsessing over status updates!

Your Top Organising Tips!

So as I have been re-prioritising my life I have decided that I REALLY need to become more organised!!

But I need some help!  I have piles of ‘things’ every where and I am sure I am forgetting about things / misplacing things ALL the time!  Having random piles everywhere also means that the place looks disorganised – you can’t feel calm and serene in a place that looks disorganised!

So of course I have been searching on Pinterst to find inspiration!

I desperately wish the boys toy area looked more like this -

And I would love to create something like this:

 

Or this:

 

Where all of the things we need each day can be stored ready for the next morning.  Mornings are so hectic here it would be great to always have everything at my finger tips ready to go each day!

BUT living in an open plan rental house Im not sure where to put it or even how to set it up!!  It has to be easily removed – not too obvious (or hubby will instantly dislike it) and functional.  It can not cost too much to set up and it still has to look pretty ;-) .  Do you have a Command Centre?  Does it work?  and what did you use to set yours up?

I have a family diary which has everyones activities written out for the week so that hubby or I can see who should be where at any given time of the day.  This sits on the kitchen bench easy for us all to see and in a central location. It kinda works.  I remember to write in the BIG things – so we remember those.  Its just the other ‘smaller’ things (like peoples birthdays for instance – Sorry Uncle J!!)

I have an in tray and an out tray which I sometimes use ….. they look pretty but I don’t use them appropriately so they don’t really function.  The bills just hang out on the computer desk until they get paid – although the computer desk is tiny and there isn’t really the room for them to just hang out there.  My in and out trays actually live in a totally different room – the only place where they fit properly which is why they hardly ever get used.

I really, really want to know – What is your top organising tip? What can I do differently today so that tomorrow I will be much more organised and ultimately more relaxed tomorrow?

*sigh*  One day I will be able to see my kitchen bench, computer desk and dining room table again.  One day I will feel organised and on top of things.  One day ………. hopefully…… Please help!

So old!

OMG – I got invited to my High School 20 year reunion today!

Yep – you did read right it has been TWENTY years since I finished High School and left all the raging hormones, dramas, homework and dodgy classrooms behind.

This has brought me to the only logical conclusion.  That I am sooooooooooooo freaking old!  I wasn’t that old yesterday but suddenly today I am very, very old!

Straight after getting my invite (which was via Facebook – seriously how did people connect before Facebook?) I sat in the toy room while the boys played around me.  Just thinking about High School, the people and how old I had suddenly become. I was a little quiet and withdrawn lost in my own thoughts for a little while.

Master M came up and asked me if I was alright, gave me a kiss and a cuddle and told me that everything will be fine – he has always been quite an empathetic child. I remember just before he turned 2 he watched Toy Story with me.  He was able to watch the whole movie and when Buzz cried he cried.  I asked him why he was crying and he simply said – Buzz is sad, I’m sad.  I will never ever forget the emotion on his face or in his voice when he said that to me.  Such a beautiful, sensitive soul.

Master S was very busy playing with his toys – but seeing me in a reflective mood he decided to act the clown!  He grabbed the ball he got last week for his second birthday and came up to Master M and myself asking to play with it with us.  He started running around, making silly faces, running in silly ways and making silly noises.  Doing anything he could just to make me smile!

It still amazes me just how different they are.  It also amazes me how easily they pick up on emotions.  I don’t have to tell them, they just know and they deal with it instinctively in the way they best know how.

Because he is so sensitive Master M doesn’t react well to extremes in emotion.  Master S tries to deal with every emotional situation with humor.  Knowing this makes it so much easier to discipline them.  However being so different it means that I have to treat them both differently.  I has taken me a while to realise this and the changes aren’t that much.  Master M I am better off disciplining before the situation reaches a head when I can still be calm and rational, he still listens and if I can let him know the feeling and emotion behind the decision he tends to better uderstand.  Master S hates being out of the limelight.  Doesn’t care if you take away his toys, is too young to listen to reason – but take away the audience and he knows he has done something wrong and gets very upset.

I love my boys so very much.  I love that they are their own little personalities.  They both love playing with the same toys and doing the same things but I can already see just how different they really are.  Two perfect little people making their way through life and I am privileged enough to be the one here to guide them.

I’ll admit that it would be easier if there was a one approach fits all to parenting.  But one of my favourite things about meeting new people is discovering their personality, their quirks, their motivations and their passions in life.  If we didn’t all have these differences then life would be pretty boring.

Im still feeling old.  Quite old infact.  I am sure that I have sprouted grey hair since receiving the invite just by thinking about how old I am.  But my boys don’t care how old Iam and that takes away the pain.

I’ve decided that I probably will go to the reunion.  I didn’t make our 10 year reunion as I was off getting married in a different country!  (I know excuses, excuses)  I am ‘friends’ with alot of my old class mates on Facebook and as the social butterfly that I was I actually really enjoyed High School.  I think I am one of the few that actually regard my High School years as enjoyable.

Time to hit the gym ……  after I’ve played with the boys for a while.

Have a fabulous day.

Holiday resolution

We had an amazing time away up at Port Stephens which has lead me to the conclusion that you need to go away for a full week to completely relax and get away from the daily stresses. It has also lead to the resolve that I want us to go away for a week at least twice a year. If it was feasible I would go more often, however I think twice a year gives us a good break around February after the Christmas stresses and then again later in the year to revive. I will also try to fit as many other ‘fun’ shorter holiday alternatives like our already planned weekend camping experience with friends at our local nature reserve.

 

This latest trip took us to the Big4 Soldiers Point where we stayed in a Jayco Camper Trailer (the pop out kind) for the ultimate family friendly and fun holiday. The holiday park has so many fun activities for the children that once again we hardly left the park and when we did it was only to walk next door to the Bowling Club for dinner! :) Just kidding we did go to the beach on one of the days!

 

Now I have to admit that this trip was the ultimate glamping experience I have had to date. We hired a camper trailer complete with everything you need including a kitchen containing bench tops, storage a sink and a fridge. I know its not really camping but with two young children and infrequent holidays we like to be comfortable for our holidays.

 

We went away with another couple and their children which was fantastic. I found that going away with another couple added an extra element of fun to camping as the children always had another child to play with (we go during school term) and we had other company to enjoy. On our last trip when it was just our family I found that it was very quiet at night whereas when away with friends it was more like a continual party (not really a party but still more my style) however we chose to stay an extra night to have some quality family time.

 

A part of me still wants to try the real ‘back to basics’ camping which is why we have organised the weekend trip with friends to our local nature reserve where we will be in a tent without POWER (OMG) on our comfy Coleman Air beds (What? There is no way I am sleeping on the floor) yet there are toilets and BBQ’s.

 

This will be my Easter holiday which will cost us $11 per adult per night (our children are free due to their age) so a total of $44 to go away for 2 days and 2 nights and create a memorable experience for my children.  What I love about the whole camping thing is that my children are sooo excited about the upcoming holiday and it is costing me less than if I went out for dinner.

 

What holiday resolutions do you have? I have always been too scared to make resolutions around how many holidays we are going to have in case we cannot afford it. However with camping you save on the costs of accommodation so instead of having just one holiday once a year or every two years, you can have a holiday each year or even twice a year!! A very good option for families with little budget and high stresses!

 

Are you going away for Easter or wish you could be? Why not look at your local nature reserves to see if you can camp there? It can be an affordable holiday just to give you a short break. We would always love to hear what you did or are planning to do!

 

Best Wishes,

 

Lorraine
