If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that it’s no secret that I was blessed with a little babe that pretty much hated sleep from the very beginning. And when I say beginning, I mean like day one. I’ll always remember the second night in hospital with Eva where I begged a midwife to take Eva and…
Today I’m sharing my favourite blog post from Teagan from Two Kids Raising Kids. I love the way Teagan so openly shares both her motherhood and personal experiences with us, but not only that, she offers helpful and practical tips to make life that little bit easier. If you’ve had feelings of anxiety and depression (let’s be honest, who hasn’t?…
Does anyone else make it to about 4pm each day and then start thinking about the dreaded dinner prep? What nutritious meal can I make for the family that will taste delicious and more importantly, Eva will actually eat? And that’s on the days I’m actually home. Work days are another story. It’s more of a mad rush to the…
The night before our embryo transfer I barely slept a wink. I think I got about two or three hours in. I was up most of the night consumed in my thoughts of “what if”. What if that first round was just a total fluke and we’re going to have to go through all of the embryos to get this…
A few months ago we decided it was time to bite the bullet and start this whole toilet training thing. Apart from probably four really tricky days, it’s actually gone quite smoothly and we can now safely say goodbye to the nappies (hells yes!). So if you’re just about to start the joy that is toilet training, here are few…
I remember walking out the doors of the IVF clinic three years ago wondering If I’d ever be back. It was just after our official blood test to see if we were pregnant, and having done about 40 sneaky at home tests, I knew we were. I remember wondering what it’d be like the second time around. Almost exactly three…
Before we had Eva one of our favourite things to do of a weekend was head out for a leisurely weekend breakfast. You know the kind…the one where you read the paper, sip on a coffee and eat a delicious hot breaky. Those days may be long gone, but eating out is still something we love to do, it just…
Late last year, on a total whim, we decided to get married in Bali. Just the three of us. We’ve been together for almost ten years, engaged for five of those, and thought it was probably about time. The idea of a traditional wedding was never quite us, and the thought of spending a tonne of money on one single…
On a whim late last year we decided to book a trip to Bali. At the time flights were on sale and we thought it wasn’t too long of a flight for a toddler who HATES sitting still, so we locked it in. Being our first overseas trip with Eva I was slightly nervous about how she would go. She’s…
Yesterday Colin and I had one of those magical days that seems to happen like once every two years for parents… we got to spend pretty much the entire day together, just him and I, sans Eva. By some miracle, one of her day care days lined up with us still being on holidays. Hells yes. So, we were able…
I can hardly believe Christmas is here already. This time of year is always a special time for everyone, but for us, it will now always bring back the memories of waiting for our baby girl to arrive. Each Christmas I always think back to this time (two years ago, eek!) and reminisce about it. This coming Christmas is definitely…
