One of these things does not belong…
A wine rack turned into a baby shoe drying rack. Don’t ask! Oh, how parenthood has changed my life 🙂

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “day in the life” post. This one isn’t quite as detailed (the last one had actual times) but still has plenty of photos to let you know what a day in my life looks like. Morning. Wake up, make the bed, and get dressed. Ignore my (and my… Read More Another Day
There’s a reason why I shouldn’t wait to blog until the end of the day. The reason is that, after making dinner, feeding Joe, putting him to bed, cleaning up the kitchen, putting away the toys, adding the day’s expenses and earnings into the budget spreadsheet, answering and sending emails, and any other things that… Read More My Funny Mother’s Day
I love to multitask. If I can kill two birds with one stone, then I’m a happy woman. That’s why this post makes me happy, because I get to show you a video that I find hilarious and expose you all to a Kiwi accent. I say a Kiwi accent because it’s been my experience… Read More Living in New Zealand: ____ Kiwi Mums Say
I thought that I would share what a day in our life looks like. Please join me for a photo tour! 1:50am – Bad start to morning – woke up with a terrible headache, ended up getting out of bed, being sick, taking Panadol (Tylenol) and drinking some water 2:30am – Back to sleep 6:30am… Read More 1 Day
Took this photo of myself as the 3 of us were heading out for a walk in the early hours of Saturday morning {just past 8am}. Hooded jersey, black UA workout leggings, and jandals FYI – ja{panese sa}ndals = jandals = flip-flops! I’m not even sure that I’d brushed my hair by that point. Oh… Read More Messy Mom Monday
I wasn’t sure if I’d be doing MMM this week. Then I caught a look at myself in the mirror this evening and thought, “Yeah – definitely posting this on Messy Mom Monday!” Yes, I realize that it’s a blurry image of me. That’s because the lens focused on the dust particles on my mirror. … Read More Messy Mom Monday
I’m loving these MMM posts. Why? Because after I take the photos of our apartment, I think, “Hmm… I’d better clean that up!” and start to do chores. It’s motivation, but in a strange sort of way… In the meantime, here’s a look around our home: Dishes in the sink and by the sink. I’d… Read More Messy Mom Monday!
I told Chris that he didn’t have to get me anything to celebrate Mother’s Day. I was completely serious… but he surprised me anyway with “morning tea” and this cute little to-go cup: World’s Best Mum! I love it! He also bought me a tea infuser and different teas. He knows that I’ve started to… Read More Mother’s Day in NZ
Today is my mom’s birthday. I won’t tell you how old she is, because I don’t think that she would appreciate my sharing that information on the internet 🙂 I’m very grateful for her, and I shudder to think at how our move would have gone if she and my little sister hadn’t be there… Read More Happy Birthday, Mom!
Famous words from my mother: “If you feel sick, get out of bed!” The idea behind this line is that when you’re feeling sick, don’t lay around and think about it but get up and get moving. Obviously I’m not talking about the throwing-up-constantly-fever-of-100.2-can-barely-function type of illness, but those times when you just feel yucky… Read More If You Feel Sick, Get Out of Bed!
