So up until last Sunday, I was nailing the whole “blog every day” challenge that I had set myself! Sure, they weren’t all pearlers, but I was getting back into the groove of daily writing and rather enjoying it. But my week was about to go pear-shaped. It started with a sniffle on Sunday afternoon,…
Continue reading →My now-easy answer to the question of how old my kids are! Happy actual 6th Birthday Julius! I will post more after the little party we are having on Saturday, but in the meantime, may I just say that this kid is just such a delight! He was full of joy and happiness all day…
Continue reading →Aw these ladies! Happy 40th to two of my gorgeous cousins. I’ve known these girls their whole lives and have grown up with them as sisters. Although we don’t get to see each other that often, we are always together in spirit. They are two of my biggest cheerleaders and I just adore them infinitely….
Continue reading →I’m doing a daily yoga body and mind challenge at the moment (I like to mix it up!) which entails about 10-12min yoga session in the morning, then a mind challenge for the day. Today’s word is “Dream” and when she initially talked about it during the yoga session I thought to myself “I dream…
Continue reading →Tonight was the first night in the last 16 days of blogging that I’ve thought “ugh” when the reminder popped up to blog tonight. There have been other days that I’ve nearly forgotten (hence the daily reminder) but have been relieved I haven’t missed a day. Today I feel tired and uninspired. So I’m just…
Continue reading →The last two Mother’s Days in particular have been kind of awesome for me. You can read about them here and here. To be honest, I didn’t want to have any expectations leading in to today, as that can often lead to disappointment, so I kept calm and hoped for the best! The morning was…
Continue reading →It’s 8:15pm on a Saturday night. I have a yummy glass of bubbly and a full tummy after homemade pizzas for dinner. I can hear Marty cleaning up in the kitchen and singing along to the music that is playing. It’s currently a Tay-Tay song and hearing him is making me smile. Chance is at…
Continue reading →The award for the best photobomb of all time goes to my sister-in-law aka Aunty Kate. Taken by Frith, circa 2014 at a wedding we attended with 11 week old future Darby in my belly. The timing, the height, the expression, the coincidental outfit coordination. Absolute gold. This is still one of my favourite photos…
Continue reading →On my old blog, I used to do a 10 things on the 10th post each month* for a while there, and I thought I’d resurrect it for my month of blogging. I was going to do a fairly obvious one of “10 things I am currently grateful for” but we all know what those…
Continue reading →This one was a particularly hard project for me. If Gran hadn’t come over, there’s no way it would have gotten done. Even with Gran here, I spent a good half an hour umming and aahing (and sighing) and not wanting to get into it. In the past I have generally just dumped everything onto…
