Before we are parents we all have those little ideas of what we won’t do as a parent, those things we would never sink low enough to do or say… and then baby arrives. For me one of those things was licensed stuff, I don’t know what exactly my vendetta against it is. I just … More Those things you think you’ll never do as a parent…
There are some moments when I look at my two children and it feels like time stops, like there is nothing else in the world but our little family. I look at them and say how did I make you? How am I this blessed? They are two little pieces of absolute divine perfection. Gorgeous … More blessed…
There are some things that you just don’t have to consider even being a thing before you have children. Yesterday I discovered one of those things… The possibility that the door may be unlocked on you when using a public restroom. Yes, you read that correctly! THE DOOR BEING OPENED WHEN YOU’RE ON THE TOILET … More The perils of toileting with a toddler…
Today I was eagerly awaiting the postman, my first Lacey Lane delivery was due. I’d ordered a mystery box, you don’t know exactly what’s in it when you order it (although this time the geniuses online knit pick the little teaser poem and figured it out). So today my box arrived, and by express post too! … More Ooo la la, Lacey Lane!!
My amazing mother-in-law made our night fantastic tonight. She found GIANT ROASTING MARSHMALLOWS! You don’t understand how large, and just amazing they are! My husband is currently being very dutiful and roasting them over the fire, they are so large that they can barely hold their own weight on the stick when they start melting! … More S’morely this is going to be a good night….
Yesterday I stopped off at my local Bonds store and picked up these matching pjs for my two little munchkins. I just couldn’t resist! I’m sure they’ll hate me for it when they are older, but for now I’m still in charge of what they wear 😉. Cute… I think so…. Lame…. Probably a little … More Matchy-matchy…
My baby is growing up *cry*! This weekend we uninstalled her capsule and installed her new seat (although since she’s the second child, of course Emmett actually got a new seat and his old seat was handed down to her 😉). I didn’t bother with a capsule the first time round, but man did I … More She’s growing up!
Today we braved the Antartic Vortex for some fun family time at the park. We all bundled up, Abigail went in the running pram in the snug footmuff. That thing looks so warm and cosy, I’m so jealous when I see her snuggled up in it, it looks so comfortable! Especially when you’re in the … More Baby it’s cold outside…
“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry” – Robert Burns. Today is our seventh wedding anniversary. I can hardly believe it’s been 7 years! (The Husband did well this year and went to Tiffany & Co 😉). Unfortunately though for the second year in a row our poor baby boy … More Happy anniversary (of sickness apparently!)
With two kids under two I don’t get a lot of time to bake from scratch these days (or even from a box 😉). When the planets align and I get a moment when they are both asleep, I love this Donna Hay brownie mix. It’s one of those no fail baked goodies. Quick and … More Uh oh….
