Jess Chalker Live Giveaway

08:54PM | May 31, 2010 | 14 comments

A few weeks ago I read a small piece in the Sunday paper about a singer/songwriter named Jess Chalker. Apparently she’s famous on YouTube but I’d never heard of her so I checked out her videos. An hour later (and way too much data download) I emailed Jess and asked to review her EP Launch [...]

I got a fringe…

02:46AM | May 30, 2010 | 10 comments

… I think I hate it. It’s not right. I feel like an emo. It gets in my eyes. It’s not the fringe I imagined. All I do is pin it back. If I have it out I need to use hairspray to make it look decent. I hate hairspray. When I got it done [...]

Back on your Bike

My head is reeling. I constantly feel like I’m forgetting something and it seems that 60% of the time I am. Being unorganised bothers me, I mean it really, really bothers me. To the point where I get so flustered all I want to do is stomp my feet and cry a little… I like [...]

City Chic Fashion Show

The gorgeous staff and models: Georgette (RM), Alicia, Elise (SM), Leah (S), Kylie, Sarah, Pippa & Sara. On Saturday I ventured out to Rouse Hill to watch City Chic’s fashion show. I used to go to Penrith for my CC fix but the girls (Elise & Leah) are so nice, I go there now and [...]

Aidan’s had a fever the last two nights, getting up to 39.2 degrees, just enough to make me worry but not enough to warrant going to hospital. I took him to the doctors yesterday and she said nothing was wrong, heart and lungs looked good, just give panadol and monitor him, if he got a [...]

Lust Have – Faith21

01:35AM | May 19, 2010 | 4 comments

Since my post about STYD magazine I’ve made lots of new fashionable friends who I’ll share with you soon enough. That post seems to have been a turning point for me and the last couple of days I’ve been window shopping online at all the plus size stores I never knew existed, like Faith21 which [...]

Keeping Kinekted

Steve chose not to have a wedding ring and I was fine with his decision as I think jewelery is quite personal. My Dad doesn’t have one so it wasn’t like it was a foreign concept. But as the years have gone on I think he’s changed his mind. I think he wishes he could [...]

Mummas Munching

Some of the Hawkesbury Mums & Bubs As you know, after I had Aidan I felt quite isolated socially and I even made Playdate Cards in the hopes of meeting a few people worth giving them too. It’s safe to say that I did and gosh… they are the best group of women! We started [...]

The Boy, The Quilt & The Ball

12:04PM | May 15, 2010 | 16 comments

I finally finished the quilt I started back in February. It’s nothing worth framing but I know the baby I have (and babies I hope to have in the future will) think it’s worth all the effort I put in. All the pretty patterns and colours to stare at and all the textured stitches so [...]

Chantelle inspires me, especially with posts like the one she wrote today. I’m jumping on the bandwagon and embracing the me… the everyday & mundane me. I took a tonne of photos and this was the only one I was happy sharing. Thats where my head is at the moment, I’m not happy with myself [...]

Hawkesbury Harvest

10:41AM | May 12, 2010 | 10 comments

The Hawkesbury Harvest Market is on once a month and I heard about it from Liss (Frills in the Hills) so I decided to go along. Turns out I’d been before, it just coincided with the Richmond Markets last time as I thought it was all one market, not two. Anyway… as you can see [...]

Shop Til You Drop

05:56PM | May 11, 2010 | 10 comments

I bought all the issues up until I was pregnant and traded it in for Practical Parenting and Mother & Baby magazines. When I was nesting I got rid of all my old issues (idiot) and now that I’ve got my boobs back to normal, I’m going to the gym and contemplating a new ‘do’ [...]

Soup for the Soul

I ‘ve probably mentioned it a million times already but I love love love Autumn. The change of the leaves, the crisp air, wearing layers and the most perfect magical light for taking photographs. Everything seems to take on a golden glow. I’ve been in the kitchen a lot lately as all my favourite vegetables [...]

Happy Mothers Day

01:00AM | May 9, 2010 | 5 comments

This is my very first Mothers Day. Steve bought me chocolates and a gift basket last year when I was pregnant but this is my first real Mothers Day and to be quite honest I feel like I should be honoured at Town Hall with a Certificate of Congratulations bestowed upon me by the Mayor. [...]

{image} {image} {image} I sometimes feel like I have a million plates spinning at once. Some of those plates are exciting, some are mundane and some are nessessary. I didn’t even get a chance to post this until just after midnight so essentially it’s Flickr Saturday this week! What stresses you out?

Potty Time

As some of you might remember I started practicing Elimination Communication (EC) with Aidan when he was about 2 months old. I never considered practicing full time but when the timing was right and we were both relaxed we brought the potty out.I only lasted 2 months before even practicing part time became tedious. Aidan [...]
