The Best Mothers Day Ever.

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / / 0 comments

So, I have this thing with Special Days. I feel an uncontrollable and unbridled excitement for any kind of Special Day, whether it be Christmas, Birthdays, Mothers Day, Fathers Day or… really… just any day of the week. And I always hope, NAY EXPECT, others around me to share it too. But the problem is that my abnormal levels of enthusiasm means I expect too much, and regardless of what occurs, I find myself disappointed. It’s ridiculous I know. I should have been a freaking Christmas Elf. (more…)

Toddlers Gone Wild

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life, Mumma / / 0 comments

There is something that happens to a toddler when a newborn sibling enters the world. Something extraordinary. Something astounding. Something semi horrific. The toddler that was once sweet and loving and gorgeous turns unexpectedly into something … different… And let me tell you, that something is…at least 45% monster. Sigh. (more…)

Parenthood. And going from one child to two.

I know that you all already know this (because I wont stop talking about it), but I am about to go from being a mother of one child to a mother of two in this glorious game of parenthood. I am so close to doing so, that I am actually due today. Like, literally TODAY. And you know what crossed my mind last night? The thought flicked in and out again, but it was there… The thought that I have absolutely no idea how I will manage as a parent of two kids. (more…)

This parenthood business hey? I mean, wowsa. What a ride. I know that I have said this before, but there is so much that you just don’t think about before you have kids. So much that goes unsaid. So much that you can never ever plan for. (more…)

I must confess that I had not heard of Obstetric Cholestasis before. According to BabyCentre Australia, it is a condition that affects less than one percent of pregnant women in Australia, and it is one that hugely effected the contributor of our latest Real Birth Story – Brea Walker. It made getting through her pregnancy an incredibly uncomfortable struggle.  Did you read Brea’s Birth Story? If not, read it here, now!  In Brea’s latest contribution she explains what suffering from Obstetric Cholestasis is like, and she provides her top tips to get through this difficult condition. I hope you enjoy it!  (more…)

The Things That Shit Me Since Becoming a Parent

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life / / 2 comments

My tolerance levels seem to have plummeted since becoming a parent. Sometimes, I manage a shocking level of self-control which allows me to swan about full of nothing but joyful patience, especially towards my child and other gorgeous little kidlets alike. But other times, I find that the simplest of annoyances send me into a complete and irrational rage spiral. My face goes red, my bloody starts to boil, and sometimes my right eye starts to twitch like a mad woman on the edge of spontaneous combustion.   (more…)

How to Overcome the Boredom of Parenthood

Ellyn Shepherd / Bloggity Blog, Life, Mumma / / 0 comments

Right guys. I WANT to say that it is time for a TRUTH BOMB, but if you are a parent you will already know what I am about to say. You will realise it from about the tenth month of your child’s life. And if you aren’t a parent, then you most likely wont believe me… well, not until your elbow deep in nappies and vomit anyway. BUT…here it is… (more…)
