Adele Lydia Mudie born on the 27th of June. Weighing 4.3…ouch….kilograms. Or for the oldies, 9lb  7oz. Now when you have a baby you do get asked the same questions. So here we go. Question: How was the labour?  My answer to other mothers: The most horrific experience in my life….I am never ever doing [...]

Since the age of 10 weeks, Isaac has slept through the night. Therefore, over the last two years I have been rather boastful about the amount of slumber both of us get. Much to the irritation of sleep deprived friends. Well, with only two months to go till baby arrives, it dawned on us that [...]

I feel like I have so much to do at the moment. When you really look at it…I don’t. I just think I do, because I have a baby arriving in 3 months and I’ve started developing this overwhelming sense of urgency to finish stuff. Last time I cleaned and cleaned. I made Stephen paint [...]

I have learnt a few tricks and tips from my first pregnancy with Isaac, to assist me this time round.  And here on my humble blog I am prepared to share them with you. At around 12 weeks, or maybe even earlier depending on circumstances, you will have an ultrasound to see how peanut is [...]

My apologies for not blogging in quite some time. Maybe I should rename this blog “Every Month Matters.’  However, I am back now and my small announcement is…I am 21 weeks pregnant.  The announcement is only ‘small’ because according to babycentre.com our baby is 360 grams and 27cm from crown to heel. That’s still pretty [...]

Today, I decided to step forward in my quest to be a more girly- girl. See my humble beginnings in the previous post. Anyway, I have a friend who does my leg waxing. In honour of Harry Potter’s release this week we shall call her She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, in order to protect her identity. I decided that [...]

I have a confession. I’ve had the same ‘money holding receptacle’ for the last 16 years. I must call it a ‘receptacle’ because I can not bare to utter what it is. Hangs head in shame….. Ok..big breaths….it’s a wallet…a teeny bopper wallet. On the otherside are the words ‘Sheriff of Nothin.’  Pretty cool indeed. I bought [...]

When well meaning, but obviously colour blind elderly folk ask if Isaac is a boy or a girl, I take it as a sign. It’s hair cut time. The curls need to go.  At this point of realisation, I brace myself. For this… The Wiggles Cape goes on. But Isaac is not reassured by said Wiggles [...]

OK, I know only a few posts back I said ‘bring on more wonderful weather.’  There is an exception to this sentiment however. I love wet Fridays. You see Friday is playgroup day and as soon as we arrive, the back doors are flung open and the kiddlets run amok outside. Which sounds lovely, but [...]

My mum emailed last night with a tit-bit of information. Apparently the carpark sale is on at Robert Gordon Pottery in Pakenham.  ’I can probably go Sunday or Monday’  she wrote. Phfft! Mum, you expect me to wait another 3 days! No way. I went down this morning, I had shopping to do.  Seriously cheap peoples. [...]
