I love the idea of a play-room. Some spot in the house where all of the toys can remain and the kiddos can go off and play, leaving the rest of the house looking clean, picked-up, and not like a wild bunch of hooligans live there. In fact, having a play room was a big… Read More Kids in the Kitchen
I’ve come across all sorts of things in the process of our moving and packing. Some I’d remembered and some were pleasant (and funny) surprises. Like my sister’s piggy bank. Don’t worry, Val – I’m keeping it safe for you. And I know that it’s yours because it’s got your name written on the bottom. … Read More Boxes of Memories
Today was one of those days. The kind of day where I sort of wished that I had a remote control with a “rewind” and “edit” button for my life. Don’t worry, I’ve seen the movie “Click” and I know what happens with that. For starters, Joe was up before 6am. And I mean up. … Read More Nope.
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
I’m tired today. I worked my first 12 hour shift in over a year yesterday and, unfortunately, my bus home was late. This means that I got home just before midnight, and was so keyed up from my shift that I wasn’t asleep till nearly 2am. Joe was bright eyed and bushy tailed a few… Read More Getting Over Monday
This is such a sweet, moving message from a dad to his daughter. Even though we have a son, I found it sweet, touching, and it brought tears to my eyes.
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
I saw an article today that ranked the “best and worst” Girl Scout cookies in terms of how healthy they were. Naturally, the ones that I love {Samoas/Caramel Delites, Tagalongs, and Thin Mints} were not the healthiest options. Good thing I don’t have to worry about being tempted by them over here! I have set… Read More Postpartum Fitness and Girl Scout Cookies
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!
Just a quick little blurb about my nursing cover: Whimsy Nursing Cover I know that some people hate nursing covers. I never use mine unless I’m out and about, and even then, if I can find a private place to feed Joe without having to use the cover, then that’s what I prefer. However, there… Read More Kiwi Bairn Nursing Cover
Having a newborn is stressful, no doubt. I’ve found that there are certain things that work for us really well, and I’ve developed my own little “bag of tricks”, if you want to call it, of “must-have” items when it comes to having a newborn. These things have really come in handy and I’d recommend… Read More My Bag of Tricks
