I went out for dinner with a friend last week. I know, right?! I’m shocked too. Shocked that I am doing something that resembles having my own grown up kinda life again… Yep, mummas gotta get a life, however in the year and a half since my little one was born I have lived every day weighed down by an immense sense of guilt… It’s constantly nagging at me and wont bugger off. Stupid jerky guilt. (more…)
Recently I had “one of those days”. Or more so, “one of those weeks”. Actually now that I think about it, it actually occurred smack bang in the middle of “one of those months”. One of those months where I walked through each day questioning why I am here. Why Am I Here? What the hell is it all for?? How can I grab hold of my own happiness and live it? Sigh. I bloody wish I knew the answers, but at that time I was really just going through the motions of life feeling…well…lost. And the more that I pondered those questions, the louder they got and the more confused and lost I felt. (more…)
Hooray! Its my birthday! And to celebrate in style, I would like to present to you the extra special story of MY birth. Yep, me. Being born. Into this world. So, without further ado, here is the sixth instalment in our Real Birth Story Series! It was written by MY OWN lovely mother Cesarina and tells the story about my crazy (and very early) entry into this world. Things were pretty different 35 years ago. But I think I turned out relatively ok. Could have done with a smaller nose though. Sigh. So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed living it, lol. xxxx (more…)
Here is the fifth instalment in our Real Birth Story Series, contributed by the lovely Chanel Bornoff from the brilliant blog – The Mama Edit. Chanel is mum to a gorgeous little boy, Jack, and this is the story of his birth. It was the most perfect birth for their family and was carried out in total calm and joy. It was as “civilised” as a birth can be… lol… I hope you enjoy reading Chanel’s story as much as I did! xxx” (more…)
Blog note: This product was gifted to mummalifelovebaby So, it has been playing on my mind for sometime now about how we are way too dependant on our gadgets. My husband and I are both so guilty of it, and we are so wrapped up in them that it feels like we barely have time for each other any more. Right now I am tapping on my Mac with one hand whilst searching on my phone for who know’s what with the other hand? And my husband is sitting next to me with his iPad on his lap, his phone next to him and the tv on. And although we are enjoying each others company, we aren’t really talking to each other. And that’s pretty sad when you think about it. (more…)
So, we had a family photo shoot last weekend for the blog. It was awkward as hell, but it had to be done. Well, it didn’t HAVE to be done, but I had been given a voucher to have it done by the amazing and talented Celeste Reid Larkins and I was actually really excited about it. In the lead up to it I had all of these visions about how kick ass I would be. I had all of these super cool outfit plans in my head, never mind the fact that I would have to get changed mid location surrounded by weeds, enraged magpies and the occasional piles of dog poo. (more…)
I came to a realisation the other day. It was as my husband and I were tiptoeing around our new house trying not to wake the baby up from his day sleep. And do you know what my realisation was? It was that I have become THAT parent. Yep, THAT dreaded parent…Oops. (more…)
Well, we did it. We finally moved. Moving house didn’t go quite how we planned, in fact it was kinda downright depressing. (more…)
My dear husband, bless him, said something that shocked me to the core last week. To… The… Core. (more…)
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…)
