No Vlog for this one today either guys, I’ve had a rough week, with the flu and an extremely busy day today. On the upside, Isaac passed his hearing test with flying colours. The downside, we can’t say that he has hearing loss instead of autism (wait, is that actually a downside? Probably not.) Another downside: I was in the room and couldn’t hear the low speech tones. I think maybe dealing with two screaming children for over 4 years now has probably damaged my hearing. Or maybe it’s just a side effect of the flu.
Either way, looks like a hearing test is in my future.
Anyway, today I am giving away a $100 Voucher to Kmart for one lucky reader! This blog being brand new and low traffic, you’ve got an excellent chance to win.

Natasha andrews says
Great giveaway! I need Lego for my girls they are outgrowing the duplo we have and the pathetic collection of Lego I have at the moment is just not enough. So k-mart if you are listening specials on the emergency vehicle Lego and the zoo one (or it may have been safari can’t quite remember what it was my daughter excitedly showed me the other day, love my kids but I would go crazy if I listened to them ALL the time)
Sandee Leong says
Star Wars Lego, and anything Star Wars. Kids really know how to run our pockets dry. Thomas and friends are now casted away in the basement. My son really loves Star Wars, especially the baddies, e.g. Darth Vader and General Grievous. Thanks for the opportunity
Di from Max The Unicorn says
I’d get some kid’s books (eg Sesame Street as my son loves Elmo) and some Crayola Colour Explosion packs. They look like heaps of fun!
Monique says
Love your new blog! My shopping list this year for my boys will be anything lego, anything star wars, perhaps an xbox 360 game, and perhaps a new leapster explorer game for them. Thank you

nellbe says
A big boys bike for my big boy. He actually hasn’t got one yet so he is looking forward to it.
Christina Matthewson says
For us it’s a mountain bike for me – is that allowed it’s a toy and it’s so that I we can go bike riding as a family. My two little boys have bikes but sadly I miss out and I’d love for us to go riding as a family.
But for the boys I know they really want a ride on digger – one of those stationary excavators that you can sit on in the sandpit and move the handles to scoop up the sand. I’m going to try my hand at making a sandpit and I know that a big digger will be a must
bronnie says
Definitely Gomus for Miss 8 and Beyblades for Mr 10. Lovely giveaway!

Sarah Shelley says
Wii’s are a huge hit at the moment and all of a sudden and my son just lovvvvvvvvves them. This new fad of his is something i really don’t have a choice in exploring, but something we can both benefit from this as i can get a little extra exercise in without even leaving the lounge room with one of the fun exercise games and he gets his fad fix of doing what boys do best, playing games.
Me 'N my Monkeys says
Awesome Giveaway!
My son really wants a new Scooter. Hoping to get him one for Christmas, this would really help.
