So. Holidays are over. As of this morn. Poor Rob trotted (actually it was more of dragging his feet) out the door this morn on his way to the office. I must say in some weird way I kind of wished I was as well. At least in the office people are interested, I would have had people ask how our break … [Read more...]

I have been fobbing you all off with (fabulous) photos of the farm and the kids with no real updates or information so thought that I would cover off a few bits and pieces, odds and ends, bibs and bobs, so to speak. The photos though, haven't they been wonderful? My film making husband has an eye … [Read more...]

Morning has broken. And it's going to be one beautiful day. Rob and Daise went out on a Kangaroo hunt this morning (in jammies and all) and found not only a kangaroo, but something we have yet to see this year...sunshine! … [Read more...]

I am one happy lady this new morning. If the morning I have had is anything to go by, I think this is going to be one good year!1: I awoke this morning with no hangover.

January was for...Paris...for a few days at least. Amazing times with my family in the most beautiful of cities.

Earlier in the week I was thinking (and writing) about how grown up I feel these days. I tell you I (look) and feel every one of my 32 years at the moment. Yesterday I had a chance to duck out to the shops while my Mum looked after the girls for me to try and find a little Christmas frock and some … [Read more...]

Since I have had Harper I have felt like there have been many more times where I have stood back and looked at myself from afar and felt SO grown up. I sometimes catch a glance of myself with the girls in the reflection of a shop window, or see myself drive past in our STATION WAGON and think - when … [Read more...]

We were on our way home from daycare the other day, Daisy busy chat chat chatting away to me about what she had done for the day, what she plans on doing when she gets home and (of course) about Christmas. Harper was screaming away (as per usual) and I was trying to drive as quickly as possible … [Read more...]

HURRAH! We made it to 6 weeks! That magical 6 week mark where everything just falls into place and feels better. I remember with Daisy that I was hanging for that date to come around because everyone kept telling me that things would be better by then - the feeding, the sleeping (my) anxiety, the … [Read more...]

I have gone a little early with Christmas this year. Well for me anyway. But I have my reasons. You see, we live with a Christmas FREAK. Our little lady is obsessed with Christmas. Obsessed. As in, all year round we have to get out Christmas stories out at the library, we have to read the Christmas … [Read more...]

I thought I used to love weekends. But now? I LOVE weekends. LOVE them. With a passion of a thousand burning suns LOVE. I think it's the whole 2 kid thing. By Friday afternoon I am DESPERATE for Rob to come home and be around for 2 whole days. I completely abuse him when he is around - making sure … [Read more...]

Why is it that you always seem to have to do everything for the general running of life all at the one time? The last 2 days has seen me being the busiest of bees - getting paperwork done, having men come in and fix bits and pieces around the house, doing shopping, gets cars serviced...I am … [Read more...]

Great song. And oh so true for me these days. I thought that when I wasn't working that I would LOVE Mondays. No work. Lounging about at home.

Growing up I was lucky enough to have 16 (!) first cousins. Gotta love how catholics can breed no? Every couple of weekends was spent seeing one or the other family and I am proud to say that I am still good friends with many of them. Family lunches were spent hanging out with the other kids, … [Read more...]

Missy Miss (as Daisy has named her) is 3 weeks old today. I feel both amazed at how quickly time has gone, but also fatigued by the time, how each day is now a 24 hour day split into 3/4 hour feeds that make the day seem sooooo very long. Has it only been 3 weeks? Surely not...I am finding it hard … [Read more...]

I am yet to weigh Harper since we left the hospital (almost 2 weeks ago now) oh how different things are this time around!
