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…
After nearly two years at home with this little lady, the time finally came for me to get my butt back into work. Never before had I been so excited to go to work. I think only fellow mama’s will get this – my friends with no kids thought I was nuts. The idea of peace and quiet, adult conversation,…
So apparently, it’s nearly Christmas time. How the hell did November just sneak right up on me? Is anyone else asking themselves just where this entire year went? It’s like it was Easter and then I blinked, and all of a sudden, it’s practically time for the fat man in the red suit to come down the chimney. Eeek! With…
I have wanted to put removable wallpaper up in Eva’s room since forever but one little thing was stopping me. Installing it myself. I had this horrible feeling that instead of it looking all pretty and perfect like everyone else’s on insta land, it’d look a little more like the contact on my year four notebook. Think bubbles and creases…
Pre-baby, remember those days? When you had all these ideas and opinions about just the type of parent you would be. The things you would and would definitely not do. No packet food, no sugar, no dummy, no yelling and most definitely no swearing. And then the baby comes along and lets be honest, at least fifty percent of those…
