What we have been up to

10:00
Its been busy times around here with little time (or motivation to be honest) for blogging. If you're loving the chambray fashion craze (and I am with shorts and drape pants already in my wardrobe), then you must snap up the Mix Chambray Dress. At $29 it's a whole lot cheaper than the almost $200 Country Road one and a great Spring staple I'm...

Monthly update: 4 month old Charley Bear

10:28
Age:  4 months old!  Clothes:  00 for jumpsuits! My little guy is already too long in the arms and legs for 000 so he is really growing like a weed (a very cute weed). We had 4 month needles and check up this week and he is 66cm long and 7.28kg heavy so definitely a healthy boy. Favorite Foods:  Mummy's milk ... Definitely no...

Birthday Wishlist

Missoni converse - I've had mixed reviews on these with one of my friends likening them to something a high school student designed with a sharpie during double maths (I actually really love her description). I love Missoni though and think I might actually get a lot of wear out of the low cut Chuck Taylors. Seed leopard print shorts - I would...

The Playroom

15:15
Some might think I'm exaggerating when I call E the world's most spoilt toddler but I'm really not joking. This is his playroom ... And doesn't include the toys in his bedroom and the outdoor gear he has (balls, bikes, scooter, Cozy Coupe truck, sandpit, Tonka trucks, trampoline etc): Those boxes are jam-packed with Little People sets, talking dinosaurs and giant rubber animals,...

A letter to E

14:04
How do I even begin to put into words just how very much I love you and how much that love has grown since I have watched you become a big brother. I honestly look at you some times and my heart squeezes till I feel like crying - both happy and sad tears. Happy for how wonderful you are and how lucky...

A few of our favourite things

14:23
Bonds Given the littlest guy is already in 00 and his big brother didn't hit that size till Summer, I grabbed a few essentials in the Bonds 40% off sale. I stuck with the stretchy jersey cotton so he would get some wear out of them as the weather warms up (if he's not already in 0 then) and I'm a sucker for...

I confess ...

14:30
My ongoing confessions to a not so perfect life: Somedays I love my boys most when they are asleep - same as Housewife in Heels. I am very lax about maintaining my body hair in Winter - legs that is. I don't mind that E is a co-sleeper mostly still as I love the cuddles and seeing him all sleepy first thing. I do...

The day E met Lightning 'Queen

14:27
I'm a bit late with this post as its actually what we did last weekend but this week between a toddler who melts down every 15 minutes, a baby who doesn't love day sleeps and a husband who had surgery midweek, I'm flat-out keeping the house in a semi-presentable state and stopping E from falling apart. Anyway, last Saturday we enjoyed a somewhat...

Monthly update: 3 month old Charley Bear

Age:  3 months old!  Clothes:  00 for jumpsuits! My little guy is already too long in the arms and legs for 000 so he is really growing like a weed (a very cute weed). Favorite Foods:  mummy's milk ... Definitely no feeding issues here with you poppet. Favorite Activities:  Anything that involves us talking to you. You hang out in the bouncer a lot while I...

August bucket list

11:37
I intended to start a monthly bucket list back when I started maternity leave but somehow just never got around to it so here goes now... 1. Be adventurous and rather than stick to what I know, try out some new eateries around the place ... On my list are Wazen and the Sidewalk Cafe in West Burleigh. Any other good Gold Coast...

A few of our favourite things

12:59
I finally gave in and joined the cult that is Lululemon. I picked up a Scoop top and some Wunder Under crops. I'm addicted to this limited edition Cadbury Strawberries and Creme - there are seriously 6 bars in my cupboard and I feel I need to stock up more before it's gone forever. A little reminiscent of the strawberry ripe without the...
