OK, enough with the whinging already. We get it. Your child doesn't sleep. Get over it already. OK, I hear you people. I am officially moving on. To much more important things like....what we did on the weekend and stuff! So, please allow me to tell you just what we did on the weekend, and, stuff.I … [Read more...]

And other such reasons from Daisy that explain just why she cannot sleep at night.A whinge.By Beth MacdonaldI have countless chapters, no actually, novels written on just how bad a sleeper Daisy is. I have written about it here many, many times. I am always up for a conversation about it to anyone … [Read more...]

I have been amazed every time I have opened my email over the past few days by all the comments that were left on my post earlier in the week. I was anxious about putting it out there, sharing another story, and trying to explain just why I do what I do here. And the best thing? You got it. And get … [Read more...]

I have been thinking about this for a few days now and tried to work out how to get down what I want to say here without being all over the place. I fear that I am a little all over the place, what for the lack of sleep, and too much work, and pregnant Mumma baby brain dealing with a toddler and all … [Read more...]

I am certain that I have claimed in the past that 8 months old is the PERFECT age or that 13 months is the MOST adorable and am sure that there will be many more times in the future, but right now? Daisy is a PEACH.Don't believe me? Just take a look for yourself...She is HILARIOUS. I never thought … [Read more...]

I had the lucky chance to get away on the weekend for a night away with some special women in my life...my extended family. My Mum had arranged our annual weekend away (otherwise known as the stitching and Bitching weekend) with all of the females on her side of the family. Being a catholic (and my … [Read more...]

Rob has decided to participate in Dry July this year which is a challenge to give up alcohol for a month and raise sponsorship for their efforts with donations going to people living with cancer in Australia.While it's hardly a challenge and something he will be able to do without too much trouble, … [Read more...]

The surge in hormones on the weekend and Monday left me in quite a state yesterday. It appears that I woke up (at 5.15am may I add thank you Daisy) without a brain. It was not apparent to me at first, I started the day as I normally would chasing the minx around, getting her dressed and ready for … [Read more...]

While that sounds totally hot and frisky for a Monday morning and no doubt, grabbed your attention, I am afraid to tell you that it is not so much hot and frisky (I can just imagine all the links I will get from google searches now and won't they be disappointed!). It's what my mother calls the … [Read more...]

Best holiday? Ever? It's hard to pick one. I am SUCH a fan of a holiday - I love the process of choosing where to go - when all of a sudden anything (Overseas? Why the hell not!) or anywhere (I hear that Libya is nice that time of year) is a possibility and you trawl through the internet searching … [Read more...]

My favourite thing about Daisy at the moment is the things that come out of her mouth. She surprises me with the funniest (and strangest) things just when I need to hear them. Last night she made me laugh out loud at least 3 times - and that is not bad going seeing as most of the time when I get … [Read more...]

The weather was miserable this weekend. Cold, wet with a side of wet. It wasn't that bad, in fact I quite enjoy a weekend where you have an excuse to stay inside and stay warm by the fire, but I must say a weekend of bright, sunny, park-like weather would be welcome too.We spent most of our time … [Read more...]

How I wonder how you areDaisy yelling:NnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnO (the lead up to this no can honestly go for up to 30 seconds and the … [Read more...]

I have been doing some thinking this week about names. And the lack of them that we have this time around. Or maybe not the lack of the them, but the lack of enthusiasm that I have about them. When we were pregnant with Daisy we knew that if we had a girl it would be Daisy. We just knew it. Sure, we … [Read more...]

Daisy has been lucky enough to spend one day a week with my Mum since the start of the year - my Mum has taken up the extra day I have taken for work and opened her heart and home to Daisy. We are very lucky indeed.Each week she comes home with something she has worked on, and inevitably something … [Read more...]

I was having a look over a new blog I have discovered recently that I am really enjoying and thought that I would join in a little tag thingy. She says...It's really simple. I love how every photo tells a story. Some short stories, some long tales. I want to know what is your favourite photo of … [Read more...]

There are SO many cliches that I throw around far too often since I have become a Mum, "this too shall pass", "they are not babies forever" etc etc, but this one yesterday came out of my mouth before I could even think of just how cliche it sounded..."they grow up SO fast". But it was true. And … [Read more...]

Well it was. Long that is. In fact, it was extra long given that Friday is my day off and all that. But here I am, Monday morning feel well, less than rested and like the weekend only just started so perhaps it wasn't quite as long as I needed it to be. In any case, here are the details of said … [Read more...]

I was just checking into the blog and thinking how slack I have been all week and thinking I have to post something but I have nothing. So I was going to write a post about how busy work has been this week, how I have barely seen Rob and as for Daisy, well we have been ships in the night. Actually, … [Read more...]

That weekend went by FAR too quickly for my liking. I was cursing under my breath (actually who am I kidding I was most certainly cursing Monday out loud this morning). I think it had something to do with me working on Friday and only having 2 days off. But whatever the case, it's Monday and that … [Read more...]
