I love Polyvore and I loved the challenges that I used to see around but lately I haven’t seen any at all. Trust me, I went looking. I get a kick out of playing dress up and I know a lot of you do too. So… I was thinking… maybe you’d want to play with [...]

Easter Party

02:48PM | March 30, 2010 | 5 comments

This week at Mothers Group we had a little Easter Party for the kids… ok, well for us. We each brought a plate of goodies and I organised a few craft activities. Here is Aidan sporting his bunny ears. All I did was draw some ears, cut multiples out and stick them to a strip [...]

For the Love of Ted

09:29AM | March 27, 2010 | 14 comments

Aidan’s Great Grandma knitted this cute Teddy for him when I was pregnant. From the first day he slept in his cot I made sure that Teddy was right there with him. When Aidan was in his Woombie he just kind of nuzzled him or didn’t pay any attention to him at all. But now [...]

On the right path…

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary and we have so many exciting things planned. Like grocery shopping, washing nappies, going to the post office and traipsing off to Target to buy Aidan some new pajamas. If we’re lucky we might stop off at Hungry Jacks on the way home. Every year we hope we’ll do [...]

My Place & Yours

I’m this weeks “Theme Queen” and I chose Top Draw as our challenge. I’m sharing my top bedroom draw and all it’s contents. I couldn’t help myself and styled it a little bit first… ok, a lot.Things I can’t seem to live without at bedtime: Notebook – I do most of my deep thinking right [...]

Bye Bye Woombie

Taken during his lunchtime nap, 1.5 hrs As I’ve grown up I’ve always seemed to question myself and the choices I make. I’m my own worst critic yet still feel the need to seek approval from others. Being a mother has opened up a whole new world of questions and personal vulnerabilities but some days [...]

Spontaneous Spending

Today was Wendy’s last day in Sydney and I had an hour and a half before the shops shut to help her spend all her money… so I took her to Parramatta. First stop was JAG, Wendy’s “favourite store ever” and didn’t leave empty handed. You can tell she was pretty excited. Aidan didn’t do [...]

I’ve been stuck on this theme (subterranean) all week and it wasn’t until this evening that I was able to transfer my ideas to the tablet. I was inspired by a movie I saw this afternoon, you’ll never guess which one… Play along here.

Cute as a Crumpet

Today I conquered my fears… and took Aidan to the city for the day on the train. I’m one of those people that plans for the worst and hopes for the best. I’ll admit I’m a half-empty kinda girl. I wanted to tackle my fear of a long solo day trip with a baby on [...]

When I saw that this weeks theme was PINK, I was a little taken a back. I didn’t own anything pink, I was sure of it but once I started looking I found it everywhere…I bought this gorgeous bromeliad a few weekends ago when we spruced up our outdoor area. I makes me happy to [...]

Best is Best

When you’re in school you say “Friends Forever” but in the back of your mind there is a sense of reality that you’ll grow apart and lead different lives once you leave and have nothing in common. Most fall off your radar (until they pop up on facebook) but there are the very special few [...]

Happy Weekend

I really have to stop using my iPhone to take photos but it’s just sooo convenient. I took this one on the way back from swimming lessons. I desperately want to go back and take another using my Niki but that will have to wait as we’re entertaining a guest this weekend. My BFF Wendy [...]

Road Trip

On Wednesday one of my new friends that I met through mothers group joined me on a little road trip to a little store named IKEA. We bundled up our lovely boys (born 6 days apart) and headed off on our hour long drive with two sleepy darlings. Yup, we’re so clever that we coordinated [...]

Point & Shoot

Steve and I spent the weekend fixing up the outdoor room which involved a trip to Bunnings and several nurseries and pot places. It was nice to get dirty and involve Aidan in all the fun. Look at those cute little frogs and bunnies… too sweet. It was beautiful and sunny and Aidan was happy [...]

My Place & Yours

I don’t usually play these games but since my BFF over @ Hello Owl adopted a “My Place & Yours” I couldn’t help myself. The photo above is a self portrait I took on my iPhone to show off my new grey beanie with the cutest crotchet flower, from Kmart of all places. When I [...]

Something New

10:55PM | March 6, 2010 | 3 comments

I’ve started drawing again, usually late at night when I’m meant to be sleeping. Instead of going to bed and playing Words with Friends (my username is Danimezza if you play) I’ve been sitting at my desk with the internet off, listening to some tunes and getting some serious use out of my tablet. I’m [...]

Worth Every Moment

10:20PM | March 5, 2010 | 5 comments

When I have moments to ponder (like now) I like to think back to how we got here. How we became parents. Aidan is 6 months old now and he didn’t exist to us 12 months ago. I only found out I was pregnant because I was randomly sick one morning and Steve suggested I [...]

Pinned in Place

The quilt is actually starting to look like a quilt now. I added a pretty border around the edges (man I hated cutting all those damn little rectangles) then took it to my local quilting lady to give me a hand putting it all together. I bought some cotton batting (with enough left over for [...]

Spish, Splosh

I’m getting tired of my own excuses about not going for walks. I get out of the house five out of seven days and usually for about an hour but it’s not good enough. I’m kicking my saggy butt into gear. Even contemplating one of these. My goal is small… get out everyday. I’m not [...]

We’ve had a sick little monster on our hands this past week. It’s been taking it’s toll on all of us but getting his first cold at 6 months is a pretty good effort so I’ve just gotta suck it up and keep on keeping on. Despite feeling like crap he’s still been a happy [...]

I snapped this image off a tshirt I found at Roger David on my iPhone. I’ve been thinking a lot about my blog, how it started, how it’s evolved and where it’s going. What I do know is that you like me. Aww shucks. You like to read about my son, the deep thoughts that [...]
