The Easy Pregnancy

In case you haven’t guessed I’m being just a teensy bit sarcastic with the use of my word ‘easy’. But the truth is, it has been relatively easy. Apart from a few horrid weeks of morning sickness, I’ve basically been sailing along quite happily. And so it’s somewhat surprising, that I found myself sobbing on [...]

Review: But where’s my tea?!

This post is sponsored by Nuffnang. You know what’s really easy? When you are asked to review a product that you already own. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Actually, Riley has had the Say Please Tea Set for nearly a year. It was a present at last Christmas from a very doting Aunt. [...]

126/365 TV Ban

Ok. So it’s not a complete TV ban. But I reached the end of my rope with the TV on Friday and decided to cut it back to half an hour a day. Something far more reasonable than what it tends to be when there aren’t any rules about it. And limiting video games/ipads to [...]

110/365 The Appointment

Checking out a possible preschool and a hospital appointment on the same day? Doesn’t sound that bad until you figure into it the 4 hours of driving. At least there was muffins involved!! By the end of the day I was willing to allow Riley to draw on herself in pink highlighter for a moment [...]

Oh Hello, Terrible Twos

I didn’t think the ‘terrible’ twos were that bad. That is until last week when I realised that this was because they hadn’t started yet. The last few weeks have been high maintenance city. I have to watch her do everything, and instead of being quite happy to play for periods of time on her [...]

106/365 Hello, Little Person

While the jellybean has been busy growing, my beautiful baby has been doing some growing of her own. After shooting up recently she’s started to fill out again. And she talks in full sentences, thinking about what she says before it comes out of her mouth. I love the look of deep concentration on her [...]

105/365 Transition Looks Like This

That’s what I call a passed out toddler. This is pretty normal at the moment. Nap resistance = practically passing out at around 6 in the evening. On this particular day I was easily able to change her nappy without even a stir from the sleeping miss. Thankfully, she’s so tired that she sleeps through. [...]

Mess is Just Another Word for a Good Time

This is how I spent a good part of my Monday. Up to my neck in mess in the kitchen. It was nice to actually make something from scratch for our lunch for a change. And even nicer to see Riley enthusiastically guzzle the sauce out of the food processor before moving on to the [...]

It’s Not Rubella, It’s a Heat Rash

While you might not be idiot enough to think that the heat rash on my baby’s face is Rubella, when I woke up on Thursday to discover it – well let’s just say I’m exactly that kind of idiot. And being pregnant and not immune to Rubella did lend itself to an objective diagnosis. Even [...]

The Why Stage

It’s already started. I would have thought that as Riley’s not even two and a half, there would have been heaps of time before we arrived at ‘why’. So far it only extends to about 5 why’s before she loses interest and is distracted by dinosaurs/dragons/cream/the cat’s tail. Thankfully. I have no idea when kids [...]
