We're happy little Vegemites....

Ok, it has come to my attention that some people might not know much about Vegemite... to all my overseas friends...this is what it is... a spread that you put on bread or anyway you want it really. It's black, smells very salty and to some people is just down right awful. But to me, and most Aussies, its a God send. I love it all the time...

I thought i would add the song lyrics that was from the advertisement back in the 40's i think it was...

We're happy little Vegemites

As bright as bright can be.

We all enjoy our Vegemite

For breakfast, lunch, and tea.

Our mother says we're growing

stronger every single week.

Because we love our Vegemite.

We all adore our Vegemite.

It puts a rose in every cheek!


I did try to add the actual song but didn't how to do it...

So there you go its been a part of our culture since the 1920's and its still going strong, from generation to generation... Hannah loves it too!

Our growing girl...

Well our little girl is certainly growing up fast!

She has been going to swimming lessons for about 6 weeks and has just been put up to Level 2! I am excited for her but also a bit sad as now I won't be able to go in with her... she is becoming so independent! She had her first lesson on Monday and she did great!

I nearly started crying when she went in by herself, I was so proud of her, you can't hold it inside!!! Agh now i'm getting teary just thinking about it.
Here is a very grainy pic of when i was in the class with her... (Will post updated ones soon)




The craft show was great... and a bit overwhelming. I did get inspired and now I have a purpose for my knitting. I am going to knit for Premmie babies in the hospitals. It is great to know that you can be used in a way that blesses others...
So I will go now and will try and remember to get some updated pics off mum and dad...
