The best thing to come out of 2007.


Wii got a Wii!

It’s 31 degrees in our bedroom at midnight so all four of us are sleeping in the air conditioned lounge room.
A had been talking about getting a Wii for ages, I was going to get him one for Xmas but we thought we’d wait for the after Xmas sales. Of course they were […]

Post-partum pain

Sooo not fair. Breastfeeding is supposed to prevent ovulation, which in turn prevents your period from returning. I’ve been breastfeeding Dexter every hour at times. I think the longest he’s gone without a feed is about 6 hours. Despite that, my period has returned. I think that it came back […]

Sitting outside…

Current Mood: Cool & Cool & CoolI am sitting outside writing this on my new PDA. It was a dry, hot day and it’s only just cooling down now at 8pm. Dexter is sitting in front of me in his bouncer and Willow is writing with the chalk she got for Xmas on […]

Here and Now

A friend of mine from the parenting forum I go to has started a blog. She is writing it from the perspective of what she would talk about with her late mother. I think this is a brilliant idea. In May next year it will be 6 years ago that my Mum […]

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

I got my hair cut from this:

to this:

My head feels so much lighter. I got it cut a couple of weeks ago now, I just haven’t had a chance to post these photos yet. Only a few people actually noticed, which either means that I wore it pulled back way too often, or […]

Christmas

A and I just finished wrapping up Willow’s Christmas presents. I feel a bit bad because Dexter only has a wooden rattle, but really, he doesn’t need anything else and I refuse to buy toys for the sake of buying toys.
Our Christmas tree this year:

It’s the first time we’ve put one up, since Willow […]
