Little Princess–The Spa edition

MissyBoo — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:47:01 +0000

Princess Boo loves a bit of pampering. She loves it on the rare occasion she gets to come to the salon for a mini-manicure and pedicure. She loves having her feet, head and back massaged.

I can only blame myself… or her numerous overseas Aunts who first enticed her to the salon for a mini-manicure and pedicure for her 3rd birthday, prior to a wedding we attended in Abu Dhabi (where every second shop is a salon or spa)!

I can also blame Grandma who on our numerous trips to Bali has always taken Princess Boo for a foot or head massage down the beach.

At the ripe old age of 6, I figured the Little Princess Spa package was right up her alley. I had concerns that she wouldn’t last through 2 hours of pampering.

Oh how wrong I was to be concerned!

We were in fits of giggles before our massages as Princess Boo donned adult size disposable knickers, and ran around our massage tables like a child of Tarzan!

I never heard a sound from Princess Boo in the half hour during her massage, and then I heard her whisper incredulously “Mum, she’s rubbing sand on me!”

Me and the 2 Balinese massage ladies again were in fits of laughter as we explained body scrubs. We also then had to explain body masque as the cream she was smothered in began to dry a bit like wax.

As I enjoyed the rest of my massage, body scrub and masque, Princess Boo was whisked away for her manicure and pedicure.

After my pampering session, I found Princess Boo enjoying a blow dry after her hair wash and scalp massage.

She has begun asking if we can do the same thing in Perth. I am yet to find a spa and/or salon that has a package for little girls, and for a reasonable cost. I think it will just have to be a special treat on our overseas trips!

In April I Snogged a Dolphin, Last Week I Cuddled…

I have outdone the dolphin snogging on my latest trip to Bali. This time I cuddled me some orange, fuzzy, cuteness!

No! It was not Elmo!

It was the gorgeous Chloe. A young orangutan.

I fell in LOVE with her and fought my animal loving daughter for Chloe cuddles.

Chloe the Orangutan

Boo and I spent a night at the Mara River Safari Lodge, and after breakfast, before the park opened, we got to spend about 20 minutes with Chloe. It was the highlight of our trip, and an awesome moment of time in my life.

Believe in the Impossible

My bestie who fractured her spine before Christmas stood up. Obviously this was with help. She was told that if she could/did stand again it would be at least 6 months. Well Jodie is magic (in Boo’s words) because yesterday she stood 5 weeks and 3 days after the accident

Another bestie, who is a breast cancer survivor. She was given a 20% chance of being alive a year after she was diagnosed. Two and a bit years on, she’s just given birth to her first child, Charlie.

Moral of the story… Never lose hope, and believe in the impossible!

Home Sweet Home

MissyBoo — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 05:06:37 +0000

We’re back! We’ve had a lovely break in Bali, but it’s also nice to be home

In the under 20 hours I’ve been home, I’ve achieved

5 loads of washing
11 hours of sleep
Front and back lawns have been mowed
2 hours of ‘school work’ (maths and reading) at Boo’s request (yes, she’s a nerd)!
Cleaned the guinea pig hutch
Removed one dead rat from the dog’s mouth

Things to be achieved later today

Finish unpacking
Fold and iron the stuff that comes off the line plus the stuff that came off the line before I left
Phone Centrelink – procrastination setting in with this one!
Grocery shopping because bread, milk and cereal is about all that fills my cupboards
Write blog posts on our holiday
Read blogs
Pay bills with money I don’t have

On Holidays

MissyBoo — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 16:01:28 +0000

Boo and I have gone on holiday. The blog may or may not be updated?

My plans -

Reduce my sleep deficit hours
Move very little from a deck chair/lounge
Finish the trashy novel I started on my last holiday in April
Eat lots of yummy, spicy foods
Begin on the beverages well before happy hour
Enjoy several spa treatments on most days

See you soon

Wordless Wednesday–New Towels

Happy New Year

MissyBoo — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 15:13:14 +0000

There has been a whirlwind of activity in the Me & Boo household and in our social lives in the past few weeks. I have been relatively absent from here, Twitter and Facebook.

Hopefully, things will improve around here now???

We’re off on holidays at the end of this week. I cannot wait to just S.T.O.P. and chill. Lay by a pool with a trashy novel while Boo splashes about and commands attention. The perfect start to the New Year.

I could write a whole list of resolutions, but really what’s the point? I never stick to the majority of them!

I plan to recapture my social networks this year.

I did make an agreement with Jen over at Semantically Driven a while back that I would do Project 365 this year. I plan to stick to that now that I’m no longer studying. I’ve added a new page on the blog if you’re interested?

To help kick me off, I’m joining Fat Mum Slim in the January Photo-a-Day Challenge.

So what special things do you have planned for 2012?

Something Christmassy that’s Never Been Seen Here Before!

MissyBoo — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 06:57:07 +0000

Wishing all my lovely readers and commenters a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous and awesome 2012.

And in something that you have never seen here before…

YES! That is Boo, and that close to Santa… even so close that she is on his knee!

I fell off my perch with surprise when she presented me with this photo after spending a few hours with Grandma and her cousin, Bella on Thursday.

Ssshhh! I don’t think she brushed her hair that day!!!

My Santa phobic child has not been this close to Santa since she was 2 weeks old, which is just over over 6 years ago!
