Swimming Lessons

11:29PM | January 30, 2010 | 5 comments

Aidan & I We had our very first swimming class on Thursday and it was great. Well it would have been great if I wasn’t 15 minutes late to a class that goes for 20 minutes. Ah well… wont be late next week that’s for sure. That said the 5 minutes we were in the [...]

Cooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Aidan & Stephanie It seems this week I got myself a life, well something similar to one. I’ve been busy and not just with laundry or buying more watermelons for Aidan to gum to death. My Mum & Dad have gone home but my awesome sister Stephanie is spending some time at the Mezza house [...]

Winner!

Permanently Twenty Three My car is like an oversized handbag, filled with spew rags, dummies, cans and bottles, baby socks, chocolate wrappers and bits of paper. The only way it gets clean is if I take it to my local detailer who clears it out and puts everything in a box and makes everything shiny [...]

Stephanie & Mum in Paris At the moment our house is filled with family as my Mum & Sister have returned from Europe. It seems as though Aidan will be cuddled to death but either way he’s loving all the extra attention. We all got spoilt rotten with gifts from abroad which I’ll share with [...]

Good Intentions

Yep, we’re in our pajamas I had a plan. I would blog of domestic cleanliness and everyone would adore it. You would frantically jot down notes on your PostIts, seemingly endless list of tips and tricks that I apply around my home and you would laugh at my witty jokes about rubber gloves and dirty [...]

House Detox

I like stuff. I don’t like clutter.This creates issues. When I was young my mother taught us to clean, as soon as we were able. If we could, we should and I hope to pass that on to Aidan. I know some adults who don’t know how to empty a vacuum, use a washing machine [...]

We love (long) Weekends

03:06PM | January 18, 2010 | 2 comments

Steve has been home today so we’ve been soaking up the extra 24hrs together. We took Aidan to the pool this afternoon and he LOVED it. Of course we were so busy having fun that we forgot to take photos. He starts swimming lessons next week and I can’t wait. Swimming was a big part [...]

The Milky Way

We’ve hit a feeding crossroads at our house and it’s been really difficult, physically but it’s also been especially hard emotionally. I considered not posting about it at all but everything has been milling over and over in my head and I just had to for my sanity’s sake. As usual, this is my life, [...]

"The Mumma" & Me

06:06PM | January 14, 2010 | 8 comments

I’ll admit, I’m a lazy being. These days even more so, especially regarding my appearance. I’ve turned into a tie-it-up-and-chuck-it-on kind of girl and I’m not really happy about it. Looking good makes me feel good and what I need right now (maybe not as much as sleep) is to feel good. Yesterday I had [...]

If you’re APPy and you know it

My iPhone needs some serious pimping otherwise it’s just a camera phone. A very expensive camera phone. I’m new to the world of Apps and I’m hoping my lovely readers can lend me a hand by showing me a few of their favourites. Whether it’s to organise your life, kill boredom, anything… I just feel [...]

A day in the life of a MCN

12:11PM | January 12, 2010 | 10 comments

Let me start by saying we adore our BumGenius MCNs (Modern Cloth Nappies) and would never ever consider buying disposables again. We even took them on holidays and they were brilliant, sure a bit more luggage but worth the effort in our books. Anyway, I’ve had a couple of emails asking me how we’re going [...]

iPhone Baby

Ever since I got my iPhone (which I am slowly learning how to use) I’ve been randomly taking photos. I thought I’d share a few of my favourites with you all. Me & my baby after “breakfast” in bed. Aidan’s favourite game of “Eat Toes” Happy Smiling Boy All tuckered out after Mothers Group We [...]

Bad Day for Pumpkin

As you might have guessed we’re experimenting with Baby Led Weaning at our house, you can see the book that inspired me in the left sidebar. I’ve read the book twice and gone back and referenced it many times. It might not be for everyone and I know people are going to have their opinions [...]

Tummy Time

Play Time is BIG here at the Mezza house. He sleeps, he eats, he does tummy time and then round and round we go, over and over. Thankfully I don’t find the little darling boring as each time he figures out how to do something new. Like right now, as I type, he’s laying on [...]

Blocks

My gorgeous BFF Rhian made Aidan these gorgeous blocks for his nursery and I adore them completely. She matched the colours from his room and added little details like paw prints to represent Toby & Charlie and a little soccer ball for Steve. I should mention these are completely handmade. Aidan loved staring at all [...]

It’s 3am and I have been tinkering with my blog for hours and it’s time for me give in for the night (morning) and come back tomorrow (later today :P) with fresh eyes to see what else needs doing. I combined staying up blogging with feeding Aidan so it’s been a very productive night… poor [...]

Out of Action

We got back from our big trip away and ever since Steve and I have been sick… really sick. I’m typing this with my head resting on my hand, one eye open and one finger. That is how exhausted I am. I didn’t want my readers to think I had gone AWOL and this is [...]
