How do you decide on a theme for your kids parties? Every year it goes the same way for us.  The girls (whose birthdays are two weeks apart – so…

Oh hello there Kyla. It’s your birthday today so I thought that I’d take a moment to sit and jot down some thoughts that I’ve had since my last to you…

Oh no hang on.  We didn’t get that snip.  Despite the prescription from my gynie after we had Knox, Seth still has all of his swimmers in the race, if you know…

Guys I had a baby and then I closed my eyes and then I opened them and I had a baby going to Grade 1.  Grade freaking 1.  How even?…

They say life is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. I think that the same can be said about having children. When…

If, like me this body looks a little weird to you, I asked and she drew the dress as part of the body – hence the lumps on the side.…

When I pictured our first day of school I prepared for the worst. I envisioned children that had unbrushed hair, mismatched clothes and questionable status on teeth brushing to be thrown…

Along with Summer comes the much anticipated school holidays and festive season.  It’s possibly my absolute favourite time of the year.  The excitement of being home and able to do…

Summer is here. (I’m inclined to say FINALLY, but I don’t want to sound ungrateful and scare her away again). Sitting in the sun and feeling the warmth that unfreezes…

I don’t normally post on the weekend, because like, it’s the weekend. But I’m breaking bad just once to share more of the pictures of Knoxs Shaun the Sheep party…

I don’t like my body. I’m not sure if I have ever walked past a mirror and not cringed at a bulge there or the wobble there, or how weirdly…

If I can give you any advice about going to do a skin allergy test is that you shouldn’t do it. The second bit of advice is that if you’re…

I have no words for this week, except maybe to beg the weekend to come back.  We had so much fun running around Eden On The Bay that I would…

Finding the right words to convey my thoughts today is proving a lot more difficult than I thought it would. Basically, the last few weeks have been kind of amazing. I…

Aaaah, the great outdoors.  With the sun heating up cold bones, birds and squirrels bustling around in the trees over head, the sound of children laughing and the view of…

Despite how hectic planning a party can be, I am kind of sad that the girls party is over. So let’s quickly relive it through pictures, OK? In case you…

Oh my Kyla Bells I don’t know why I struggle to write these posts to you. I guess it’s my own silly way of trying to stop you from growing…

* Today is Kyla’s birthday and I just couldn’t get words to work for me, so  instead of a letter to her, I’ll post the next best thing.  How to…

It was just another day for us. Me clutching both girls by the hand, reigning both of them from trying to hop into the road while trying desperately to miss…

Have you ever considered the prospect being able to be a “Stay At Home” Mom? I’m guessing that you probably entertained the idea before deciding that it’s either not possible…

Sometimes doing things for the first time can be really scary. But flying a kite is not even close to that at all. If you get it right, it can…

So, like, I really try not to make this space one where it seems like we have it all together and get all the cool things and do all the…

I always thought that everyone who ever said, “This too shall pass” to me, were right. Was it helpful at the time?  Maybe not so much, because I was still dealing…
