There was a full moon last month. An absolute whopper of a moon to be more precise. You would have seen it. In fact there was no way you could have missed it. It was a crazy giant-sized full moon just flitting about in the night sky, as bold as brass, shining its moon face light all over everything. (more…)
Do you remember my previous post about five books for babies that I absolutely love? If you didn’t see it, then make sure you check it out here. Well, after reading those same books again, and again, and again, and again, and AGAIN I realised that I needed a new list. A list full of new books where the words were not already entirely and completely committed imprinted on my brain. Something new and fresh for my eyeballs. Something glorious. (more…)
This is a story sent in by one of our lovely readers (who wishes to remain anonymous). In this post, she shares with us the story of one of the hardest times in her life which affected her for years to come. I hope you enjoy it xx This is the hardest thing I have ever had to write. Because this story is about the baby I lost by choice. (more…)
I don’t know if you feel the same in your household, however I always feel like I am coming in second place in the parenting stakes. Yep guys, I am now the Second Place Mum. I don’t know what it is. I never used to feel this way, but as time has gone on I feel more like I am becoming the “I-guess-she-will-do-if-she-is-the-only-one-here” kind of parent. Sigh. And it hugely sucks balls when you are the parent that is clung to only when daddy is nowhere to be seen. (more…)
Here is the third story in our exciting monthly Real Birth Story series, which are all written by YOU my dear readers! It outlines the incredible journey of a wonderfully strong mumma- Kristy, during and after the birth of her first gorgeous daughter Natalia. It outlines her labour struggles and touches on the aftermath of a marriage breakdown following the birth of her daughter. We hope you enjoy reading her story as much as we did! xxx (more…)
So, it was my little sons Christening last month. And we were super excited about it. We weren’t excited so much about the actual Christening part (and I hope no higher powers decide to lightening bolt my house tonight after saying that), as neither of us are really practising church goers…I guess you could say that we wanted to Christen our son more “just because we should” rather than “Jesus will send locusts into my shower and up my bum crack if I don’t”… (more…)
Its Election Day in Australia. Frickin Frick. If you live in Australia you will know that we have been relentlessly bombarded with the stupidest and most irrelevant of political campaigns for SEVEN FRICKIN WEEKS. Bored Bored Hate Them All Snore. As one proud Australian summarised it so succinctly last night – most Aussies will be voting today “for the party that have managed to shit us the least”. Hmmm…what a way to choose the leaders of your country. (more…)
Here is the second beautiful installment in our monthly Real Life Birth Story series, written by the lovely Rita, mother of a very handsome one year old boy. I hope you love reading her story as much as I do xxxx I was booked in for a Caesarian close to my due date, and being a first baby I (naively) believed that most first-borns always arrived late. So when I felt a small pain in my belly a week before my booked in date, I thought that perhaps it was merely a little indigestion. (more…)
So, these funny little things happened after I had a baby. The most ridiculous, pointless, and absurdly annoying things. Things that I never signed up for. Things that make me roll me eyes on a daily basis. Sigh. Bloody Bloody. Sigh. (more…)
It’s funny what you think about in the middle of the night when your little one is crying in your arms. It’s funny what you cling on to, to get you through that tough hour. Recently my baby was sick with both a nasty virus and teething. Four evil jerky teeth were taunting him and trying to pushing their little jerky selves through his baby gums. Pffft. Jerks. And if that wasn’t enough, he had a constant temperature making him feel super crappy and unwell. Such a great combo. Not. (more…)
