In the months since I had my little lady I haven't quite been feeling like myself. I became aware of this "feeling" but I didn't know what it was or why it was. I just knew, that it was. If that makes sense. Being my second baby I knew to expect sleepless nights, extreme hunger from breast feeding and a rollercoaster of hormones....
So I am now the mama of two. Saying that feels surreal and I'm still getting used to it, while feeling so proud simultaneously. Something that I have found in my baby rearing days is that there is such a split in the ideas of how much a baby should be held. This is strange to me. Who is ANYONE to say how...
On my down days I look to my children. I created life. Just stop to think about that for a moment. I made two entire beings. A boy and a girl. Wow, when you think about it, how amazing is that? I am not only needed in a traditional mother/provider sence, but I am also wanted. My son wants to play, read and...
This time last year we lost a 6 week battle and gained our second angel baby. I'm usually at peace with it, accepting that everything always happens for a reason- even if we don't always know what that reason is. Knowing my angels are together waiting for me someplace lovely helps my heart too. But right now as I relive the memory and...
I like to think I'm generally a pretty relaxed, go with the flow type parent. Which seems to work for us because both kids sleep through the night, rarely have tantrums and are just overall well behaved, happy kids. But lately I've been struggling to keep my cool when it comes to mealtimes. What's my almost 2 year old eaten in the last...
I love sitting at my desk seeing some of my favourite tags + business cards from people I've had the pleasure to collaborate with and buy from. Instagram is so much more than just posting photos or networking for me. It's a place where I have made genuine friendships and bonds with like minded mamas, bloggers, online shop owners and just lovely people...
Winter is fast approaching here in Australia and while we've had mostly sunny days this autumn there are still a few big muddy puddles around that are just way too inviting when you're an almost 2 year old with a keen sense of adventure. Getting outdoors and exploring nature is incredibly important to our family. Not only because we believe it's one of...
Anyone who really knows me (especially my husband) will tell you that I am not and never have been a morning person. I wish that I could wake up like the princesses in Disney movies- sun steaming in the windows, me singing along to birds, my hair lush and flowing and my face looking refreshed and radiant. Unfortunately this isn't the case. I...
We're back to the blog and more excited than ever! I've given things a little revamp, nothing super exciting because we all know I'm not very tech savvy but nevertheless! What's in store this time around? You'll still get the photos, ramblings of a mother posts and various other personal things that I used to post. Plus! This time around I...
