A few weeks ago I mentioned that I had created a panel for a quilt that was to be given for my cousin's 40th b'day. Well, said 40th has been and gone and I finally have some shots up of the finished product. As a small recap my Auntie coordinated all females in the family to do a small panel of … [Read more...]

I feel sick.I am so tired.The weekend went by too quickly.Daisy is so sweet she breaks my heart.Sound familiar? So I thought I would miss all those bits that seem to come straight after a weekend even though I am desperate to say just how sick I feel, how tired and how sweet Daisy is and how … [Read more...]

So....this happened a few weeks back: Yep. Pregnant. Up the Duff. Hilaried. Bun in the oven and all that. Yay! I just had to finally mention it (thanks Rob for letting me before time) because it's so weird to not mention something SO big that is happening and as a consequence I find myself not … [Read more...]

So here I am back at work on a Monday morning wondering where the hell the weekend went and why I am not feeling more rested! I think that this work thing is going to take some getting used to....I am tired. Tired. Like in every bone in your body tired. I hate that I managed one pathetic post last … [Read more...]

These are the words that Daisy said to me this morning as she waved me off out the door and asked for her Dad to come and play with her. SIGH.No, no, it's all fine, albeit exhausting! I started on Monday and have been flat out all day in the office, then home to deal with public transport and an … [Read more...]

Funny thing...the other day I quilted! And stitched! And used a sewing machine! Why all of these (!) I hear you ask? Because this is SO not something I would do. My Mum and sister are both quite crafty and make quilts and the like and I just seemed to have missed that gene somewhere along the way. I … [Read more...]

Who ever knew just how busy you can be when you are two. Daisy's days are filled with running from one new toy to the next (thanks to all her new birthday presents). She LOVES drawing and colouring in and using stickers and drawing, she is obsessed with play doh although it ends the same way every … [Read more...]

On Sunday, after we had spent Saturday with both families for THE party, we celebrated my niece Ava's christening. It was a lovely day spent with the family, eating good food and drinking good wine. My brother and sister in law host some pretty serious family get togethers - like 50 adults, 30 … [Read more...]

Daisy I wanted to take the time to write down all the things that have happened in the 2nd year of your life. I wanted to tell you about just how much you grew, about what you learned, about the wonderful experiences we had with you and that you had with others. It’s been a good year little one. I … [Read more...]

A trip to Ikea without having to go yourself! Mum went and picked up Daisy a new little table and chairs for her birthday. She loves, loves, loves it. She has her own little space to do colouring & play doh and all that stuff. And it forced me to get organised and re-arrange things. I feel SO … [Read more...]

Whilst this is a GREAT Cold Chisel song, it's what I have been doing a bit of lately. Something about spare time to actually stop. And think. About myself and others. I think it's what they call reflection?I have certainly been thinking about the 'work' me. About what I have done, about what I would … [Read more...]

I love this Beatles song. Love, love, love it. It reminds me of Rob. It reminds me of being pregnant with Daisy. I played it over and over. I even had the Beatles blue - or red - best of albums in the delivery suite which we played when I was in labour with her. Since I have been with Rob (and his … [Read more...]

So...I am trying my best to be upbeat and work through the non-working issues, and today I actually feel much better about it all. I am determined not to get into a depressed funk about all this - it's just not worth it - so many people are far worse off than me - and if I start to go down the self … [Read more...]

Lucy,I am MISSING you. So much. I know that you are having a great time overseas, travelling, and working and having the time of your life. But ever since I have been back home I have been MISSING you. Yes capital letter missing you!I loved the lucky time we got to spend together. Those special 10 … [Read more...]

I am well and truly feeling like I am in holiday mode....what a dangerous thing...I am completely uninspired to even look for a job. The weather is too good, people are wanting to catch up and it just feels like summer holidays. Like when I had uni holidays. Bliss.We had a great weekend. Saturday we … [Read more...]

On Sunday Daisy, Rob and I were at the park walking along the pathway in full sunshine when Daisy stopped and asked "what's that?" (sure it sounded more like dat? dat? with pointing) and when we stopped and worked it out we realised that she was pointing out her shadow on the ground. We tried to … [Read more...]

So I am now in day 2 of my unemployed status. Well not really, I mean I finished work on the 17th Dec but that took me into holiday mode and then last week I was in jet lag, unpacking mode so that didn't count either. It started yesterday. On a Monday when I dropped Daise off at daycare, and Rob … [Read more...]

Ok so we are back. Home. Unpacking with mountains of washing to do. It’s hot here (actually not so hot which is a good thing) but it’s warm again, the days are now longer and flowers and leaves are back on the trees. I always feel mixed up when I get home. Relieved that we are back safe and sound … [Read more...]

If this start of the year is anything to go by we are in for one hell of a good year! We are drawing to a close here. It's too much to think about that I have to say goodbye to my sister tomorrow. Tomorrow. At least I will have the memories. And the pictures. Yes the pictures. … [Read more...]

So here we are boxing day morning in our divine apartment. The first 2 days that we had de-jetlagging were as good as can be expected...lots of resting and trying to get on Paris time. We were staying in Montmarte (excuse the spelling) which was a great spot...lots of good food and walks to do. Our … [Read more...]
