Gorgeous home. Where did you get the birds on the table from? love them

I totally love this house, it's gorgeous - a real true family home.

I worked from home for a while, the one huge benefit for me is that I can still be a Mum too. It took a while to find my way, but then I realised the benefit of being Mum out weighed the difficult times. Discipline and organisation are the keys.

Introducing cats can so different. We had an 18 month old drama queen female and we bought in a laid back male kitten, she was mean to him, I was always rescuing him, it's ended up he is much bigger than her and that solved that problem. My big boy takes along time to get mad, but sometimes she gets him going and she pays for it and I have to save her, not very often thankfully.

Around 6 years ago I introduced a rescue cat to the mix, my drama queen female hated her, they would sleep together, but they always hissed at each other, sadly the rescue cat passed away last year suddenly. My drama queen has put weight back on and seems happier.

I wonder if anyone else has any experience with their children and the loss of a close pet. It's only 4 months since the cat passed away and my daughter who is 6 and consider the cat one of her friends still talks about her all the time and this weekend I found her crying in her room looking at photos of the cat, it's so heartbreaking.........we let her talk about the cat, we put some photos in lovely frames, we have a cross in the yard for the cat, we bought a necklace for her to remember her, she draws pictures and takes them for show and tell and she talks about the cat.................there is one thing I cannot do, is get another cat, due to my drama queen cat.

Anybody else experience such grief from a young child for such a long time?

Bought a house, moved in 2 months before the baby came. I worked in real estate for years and never understood why all these pregnant purchasers could be bothered moving house at such a time in their lives. But I sure understand it now. When my baby was 3 months old I got the clean out bug and decluttered my house from top to bottom and had a fantastic garage sale. Wish I could get that bug back again!

We got one for my daughter when she was 18 months old. She loved it, had trouble getting her to go to sleep the day we bought it, she ended up throwing herself out of her cot late in the evening because she wanted to play in it. She's nearly 6 and still plays with it. We even found some names plates that look like miniature car plates. I think we will keep it for a while. One of the best toys we have ever purchased.

Gorgeous room and so organised. Our daughter now has the biggest room in the house, we live in a hot climate area and its great now that she has a big safe play area.

My 5 year old will love that bed and those lights. It's all very lovely. Hope it shows up in Australia.

Looks so much like my glass cake dome.

I have one of these, I found it at a Trash and Treasure Meet. I have it hanging on the wall, it's a beautiful piece.
