Yesterday I was so caught up in the whole intruder in the house incident that I forgot to tell you all about the awesome weekend that we had. Up until the 12am Monday morning thing that is.Friday lunchtime I headed up the coast (with the little ladies) to my Dad's place at the beach for the weekend. … [Read more...]

Not the best start to the week.We had a busy weekend so we were exhausted when we landed into bed last night at 10pm. Daisy woke (OF COURSE) at about 12.15am and I went down to her bedroom as I do and when she eventually fell back asleep I crept back down the hallway to our room. It was when I … [Read more...]

This week has not been my finest I will admit, but there have been a few moments worth remembering. It has been pretty tough on all of us, so bear with me whilst I boast. If I cannot have the sleep, please allow me the boast.I find dinner SUCH a pain in the arse to cook. And I love to cook. I love … [Read more...]

March? MARCH? Really? That's how I spent most of yesterday when I realised that February was indeed done for another year and we are now in March. MARCH! While I am happy to see March for many reasons - hello Fijian holiday I am talking to you, and let's not forget autumn! Cooler nights and mornings … [Read more...]

So. It's Monday. I am unhappy about this fact to say the least. In fact, I have been a down right bitch ever since I realised that the weekend was almost over and I hadn't spent any of it with my husband (which incidentally was Sunday morning) which meant that the rest of what could have been a good … [Read more...]

Women being kind to each other can be a thing most wonderful. True support, care and love from a fellow sister can be the BEST thing in the whole world. I mean look here, every day some special lady will come here, read what I have to say and then write some supportive words to me in a comment, have … [Read more...]

I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired. Sleepy. Exhausted. Snappy. Grumpy. Tired. Teary. Emotional. Overreacting. Did I mention tried? Tired. Oh. So. Tired. It might have something to do with the fact that I haven't had a proper night's sleep in, what now, 3 years, but all of a sudden it has … [Read more...]

My name is Beth. And I am addicted to wedding blogs.I cannot seem to get enough of them. I start on one, and then I look at their blogroll and I am on to another and then another - it's like Alice down the rabbit hole. And I keep annoying my little bride to be sister with a million emails a … [Read more...]

I have spent much time these past few months since Harper has arrived trying to work out this parenting thing. The juggling, the tantruming, the good and bad behaviours (from all of us) all of it - trying to work out how to be a better mother, a more caring, less frustrated and angry mother. I want … [Read more...]

Can report on a successful wedding scouting weekend albeit a very wet one. We managed to secure the location and check out some accommodation/catering/pub options so I think all the items were ticked off for the bride and groom. We even managed to get in plenty of time to sit around and natter, … [Read more...]

So this weekend we are on full bridal duties. We are off to have a look at a potential wedding location for my little sisters big day. They want to have an out of town wedding (similar to ours and my older sisters) and have found this fabulous place down on the south coast. It looks great but we … [Read more...]

One of the best things about being a parent, in my humble opinion, is the teaching part. Kids are sponges and will take on anything you teach them to be true. And I'm not talking about teaching them french, or their numbers in 3 different languages. No no, I am talking about the important things. … [Read more...]

If you can believe it (because I can't) our little lady is 3 months old today. And what changes we have seen over the past month. She has found her voice well and truly, babbling away to herself and to whoever will listen and it is quite simply the most adorable thing in the world to listen to. She … [Read more...]

An event which is possible (non zero probability) will almost surely take place. Although, in this case, emphasis is put on the possible bad occurrences.So last night (after a bed time of hell) my little 12 week old Harper slept through the night. The whole night. From 6.30pm until almost 7am this … [Read more...]

Like any parent who has had a 3 year old daughter, I am deep in the trenches of Disney Princesses at the moment. I really tried to resist (ha!) them, like I did The Wiggles and Dora, but here I am surrounded by cheap polyester costumes, and repeated after repeated viewings of Snow White, Cinderella, … [Read more...]

I spent most of Saturday with my Mum and little sis (bride to be) scouring bridal magazines and getting completely obsessed with all things wedding related. Have you ever dipped into the world of bridal blogs? Oh my stars. The photos! The FABULOUS weddings that people have! I have a new passion … [Read more...]

Yesterday morning all 4 of us were in bed together trying to make bedtime last that little bit longer - but with 4 in the bed the only thing anyone was getting was a kick to the ribs! At least we were laying down right? Oh and I forgot to mention (which is quite significant) that Daisy had slept in … [Read more...]

I am still licking my wounds from a play date this morning that went terribly bad. I am still ASHAMED of my daughter and her behaviour and I have no doubts that the friend and her poor daughter are now on an urban tour of Sydney spreading the word about Daisy and her ways. Honestly, the kid was … [Read more...]

Well last year I participated in Official De lurking Day as I was invited to do so by Rude Cactus from over in the U S of A.There's a pretty simple way to join in. Comment! Go on....instead of just reading my blog and … [Read more...]
