56/365 The Anti Laundry Fairy

I don’t know why she looked so shocked. She’s the one who threw every item of clothing out of the laundry basket and scattered it around the lounge room so she could then climb into the laundry basket. A couple of times. Her affinity for all laundry items makes it exceedingly difficult to actually get [...]

First World Problem

Every now and again a phrase or word will pop up and before you can turn around it is EVERYWHERE, like it had always been there, grinning at you smuggly from its pop culture corner. Mostly I hate these words and phrases. Exhibit A – “Meh” – I’m pretty sure it’s not a word. And [...]

55/365 A Rainy Day

A rainy day is the best kind of day for playing outside. The trampoline doubles as a giant puddle jumper, the sandpit is perfect for making sand castles that stick together nicely, water has been collecting in the dump truck making the perfect supply for ‘painting’ the cubby house and although you can’t see the [...]

Last time I was on them and they were about 20x more than the general recommended intake. And I took [...]

53/365 The Half Naked Chef

Dinner is hit and miss. Most days it doesn’t get eaten at all. And for some reason, I still persist in my refusal for Riley to substitute dinner with eating peanut butter from the jar with a spoon. Go figure. But avocado is still a favourite. It was her first food and her enthusiasm for [...]

52/365 Mum!

I don’t know when it happened but sometime a few days ago ‘mummy’ was gone and was promptly replaced by ‘mum’. I’m not sure how I feel about this forging ahead into little kid-dom. But I think it’s fair to say I’m not a fan. Not even a little bit. I was initially reluctant to [...]
