My head is frazzled-bo-dazzled at the moment. I am all over the place - scattered and here, but not really. I fear this post may be a little the same.: The AUCTION sign just went on the front of our house. Which has completely freaked me out. I mean I knew that we were selling this house, I had seen … [Read more...]

Rob has *just* about finished wrapping up the show. They almost have a set on air date (which I will flog to death once confirmed) and the light can be seen at the end of the tunnel. This very, very long tunnel. As in over 3 years ago tunnel. Poor Rob has a bit of post show blues - it has been his … [Read more...]

Over the past week I have had the toughest time I have had to date with little Harper. She had her 4 months shots and was MISERABLE and teary and hysterical AND teary and would NOT be put down. I think it's because she has been such a good kid until now that it completely shocked me and I didn't … [Read more...]

Daisy May Macdonald today you are 3. 3! It warrants a thousand of these ! but I will just use one. Just like Last year and the year before that I wanted to tell you a little about the year that was, your 3rd year of life. I can't believe that I now have a 3 year old daughter. Seriously, weren't you … [Read more...]

These past few weeks have well and truly been a little, shall we say, tricky. And not because of the little 12 week old we have, but ALL because of the not so little (almost 3) year old. The tiredness, the sleep issues, the tantrums, another of these "phases" which just plain suck.And I know I am … [Read more...]

I don't know what it is about this time of the year but I am nothing if not predictable. I find January just so urghhhhh and blah and sigh loaded. This week I have really struggled with everything. I have been in a mood. Opening my mouth and speaking fluent bitch to Rob. I have been getting … [Read more...]

From all of us up here at EIEIO (yes, Rob's Dads farm is called E I E I O) we wish you a very Merry Christmas! It's been a wonderful Christmas Eve and the joy that one little Miss Daisy has experienced all before 8am on this Christmas morn is something I won't forget in a hurry.Harper has basically … [Read more...]

I remember when I gave birth to Daisy and I was riding the crazy hormonal roller coaster of the first week or so, I was sitting in Daisy's room, rocking her in the armchair, holding her close and smelling her sweet newborn smells, with tears rolling down my face. I was so overwhelmed with love and … [Read more...]

It's the only word(s) to describe how things are at the moment. There seem to be far too may dis connects for my liking, and not much I can do about them (for now anyway) so I am just trying to live through them. Heavy heart and all.Rob and I are in such different places. Different priorities, … [Read more...]

On the weekend that we will no longer mention I DID eat some pretty fabulous food. Because I love me some good food. Especially on my birthday.Saturday night we had dinner here which is one of my all time favourite places to eat. What? I hear you say? You went here and were STILL bitching about your … [Read more...]

I was tagged by Bethwyn from Just Us so here 'tis!What is your current obsession?Hmmm, I don't feel particularly obsessed with anything at the moment. I am consumed by getting enough rest and sleep when I can, as well as eating. Food is pretty much front of mind for me all. the. time. I blame the … [Read more...]

One thing that became apparent to me the very moment that Daise entered this world was that the breast is a big part of the mothering experience. I remember the moment that she was placed on my chest (screaming) and thinking "oh shit, I am the only one in this room that can make her quiet" and I … [Read more...]

One thing I am fairly certain about raising kids is that time gets warped. Some days when Daisy is cranky, and whining about anything ALL day, times goes reeeaaaalllly slowly. Then other days, when we have a great day and she is happy, and funny and fabulous and we have a great family day it seems … [Read more...]

If there is one thing my family do well, it's to entertain and put on a fabulous lunch. Yesterday we caught up with My Mum and step dad, brother and his wife and kids for an early Easter lunch as we won't be together this weekend. We ate SO well, drank some french champagne to celebrate and toast … [Read more...]

It seems that Daise doesn't need to wait until she is 2 before she hits the terrible twos...she is well and truly there. No I shouldn't complain about her at all - but she has had a few moments of late that show she is a little more grown up and would like things a 'certain' way as in HER way.She … [Read more...]

That she has to wear sunglasses....or something like that. Daisy seriously peaked in her gorgeousness this weekend. Last week she hit 21 months and she became so sweet you just want to pick her up and squeeze her till some of that loveliness spills out onto yourself. DIVINE. She was happy, and … [Read more...]

I think that we are going to have to get Daisy into a bed. A toddler bed, or full size single, or something other than her cot. You see our little girl has grown up. Over the past few weeks she has just plain grown up. She talks more, plays by herself more, seems happier with her own company now. … [Read more...]

We have recently elected our first female Governor General to Australia. This was an exciting moment for me, as a woman to see another woman make it. I made Daise watch it on the TV when she was sworn in (she was unimpressed and wanted Dora back on toot sweet) and I was proud our of new Head of … [Read more...]

I have just spent the first part of my morning reading my list of blogs. A habit and ritual that has become part of my life and one which I never thought I would have. I never knew about the world of blogs before Rob and I decided that we would be all cutting edge and get one for ourselves. This … [Read more...]
