My dear husband, bless him, said something that shocked me to the core last week. To… The… Core. (more…)

Five MORE Books for Babies That I Love
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…)
Second Place Mum – The Story of My Life
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…)

The Christening: Specticles, Testicles, Wallet and Watch.
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…)
My Real Birth Story – Rita Hawkes
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…)
The Very Worst Bits of Me
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…)
In the Midnight Hour
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…)

My First Mothers Day
So, I got to experience my First Mothers Day a week and a bit ago, like so many of my fellow mummies. Well, to be truthful it was actually my second, but the first time around I was so absurdly high on pain free meds that I thought my undies were actually my baby. I wasn’t really all there. In the lead up to this most auspicious of days for Mothers both new and old, my husband thought it would be fun to consistently tell me that he hadn’t gotten a present, but he guessed he should. What a character my dear husband is. Pffft. If he was serious there may have been no more husband by lunchtime. (more…)
