*Otherwise known as "Happy F***ing Fathers Day Rob!"Now I know that things round these parts have been a little less than rosy, and I contemplated not mentioning anything about the 'day of dread', but then I thought, you know what? It's actually kind of funny. You know, the way things seem to be … [Read more...]

Well, I am exhausted but relieved that both (!?) children now have a room to sleep in. What a weekend and what a mammoth effort required from all of us. We started on Friday when the spare (read junk room) looked a little like this: Great hey? Do you especially like the way I just kept piling things … [Read more...]

If you follow me on twitter or Facebook you would already have heard about my waxing incident on Wednesday. For those that didn't...please read on...you know you want to...I work in a large company in the city filled with lots of fabulous, professional, working women. Being surrounded by so many … [Read more...]

So, this weekend will be THE weekend for sorting stuff out. Rob and I have a plan (!) and by Sunday night I should be able to take some snaps of Daisy in her new room, and a nursery ready and waiting for this little one! I know! A plan!And now that I have said plan in mind, it is taking everything … [Read more...]

Well 6 comments worth of popular at least. And sure, 2 of those were from the same person, but hey, you get the drift. It seems the peeps, well they can't get enough of me and my whining and hormones and trotter feet. So, who am I stop giving the people what they want, nay need? I am nothing, if not … [Read more...]

Rob starts shooting today! HOORAY and ohmygodhowscaryandexcitingisthis?!!! It has been a hard 4 weeks of pre for him but today they start rolling those cameras and making the magic happen.I have always been in awe of television. Ever since I was a little girl all I wanted was to be on TV, or … [Read more...]

And (for a change) it's not me!Daisy has been SO emotional this week. I do not know what is going on with her but we have had tears, tears and more tears. I am pretty sure it has to do with her being sick last week and all the special love and attention that she got from that. She has been literally … [Read more...]

On Monday, as you would know, I was not feeling myself. A little out of sorts, but all better now that I had a little whinge, processed it and moved on. Because of this out of sorts behaviour, I may or may not have indulged, a little too much some would say, on my latest obsession - raspberry … [Read more...]

I think one of the things that I found so hard about the first 4-6 weeks of Daisy's life was that my old life had completely disappeared and I felt so totally out of control of everything that I knew how to do, what I had created, what Rob and I shared that was all of a sudden so very different and … [Read more...]

The shine and novelty of these 6 weeks of Rob's shoot has well and truly worn off. The reality of the day to day that needs to happen, the very groundhogdayness of it, the traffic, the tears from Daisy (and from me) and the energy it takes on me and all of us on a daily basis has hit home. Don't get … [Read more...]

So yesterday just got better and better after the 4.30am murder scene bleeding nose. It was a loooong day as Daise slept early. We managed to get out and about and pick up a few bits and pieces and do some chores. By 4 I was wondering how we were going to get through to 6 (which was when I was … [Read more...]

***UPDATED 6.15PM***Just MORE evidence. I picked up Daisy from daycare tonight and one of the carers took the time to tell me that she asked Daisy is her Mummy was having a baby today and Daisy said "Mummy's BIG". You know what they say...out of the mouth of babes.Original post … [Read more...]

The weekend away was a chance for us all to stop for a little while and breathe in some fresh air... Soak up the sunshine and eat some fabulous food... Teach some old (and newer) dogs some tricks... And a chance to boss someone around smaller than herself for a change...A chance to run, just run … [Read more...]

I really wanted Daisy to be fully toilet trained by the time the next babe comes along. I had the best intentions to do this, but now I find myself less than 3 months away and I am a little (not much) closer to the goal. I think it's the weather - winter is SO not the time to be wetting your pants, … [Read more...]

It was 3 years ago today that I/we started this blog! I can't believe that I have been coming here for that long, jotting down my thoughts and frustrations, my joys and sharing the happiness that being a Mum has brought me.Want to have a look at this date on all three years? Go on. It's riveting. … [Read more...]

If I wasn't sure before this weekend then I am after - sunshine makes everything so much better. Especially winter sunshine, when you can just sit in it, warming your back, not getting too hot, just soaking it into your pores. I love me some winter sun.Friday we got to spend almost all day in the … [Read more...]

Friday afternoon the 3 of us headed off to the Dorothy the Dinosaur concert at a local RSL. I was not expecting a full blown extravaganza - it was being held at an RSL, the tickets were only $15 (or something like that) but I knew that the minx would be heavily into it. It's all about Dorothy at the … [Read more...]

A few weeks ago now, Rob was being silly mucking around with Daisy, when he created his new alter ego - Super Dad. It was just a silly little thing that he came up with - flying around the house and doing things super Dad's do like, throwing Daisy into the air, or getting her a drink, but with gusto … [Read more...]

I know that you probably can't (sort of) nest. You either are or you are not. But I feel like I intend on nesting soon, just when I get around to having the energy or time to do so, which in my books is 'sort of' nesting. Yes?I have been thinking about projects that have to get done, rooms that have … [Read more...]
