2 thumbs & a dummy

First of all, I just want to say how blessed I am with regards to settling them for their nap times. I’ve read and heard so many horror stories that if I were a first time mum, I’d be stressed out to no end. Heck, I get stressed everytime our neighbours new baby cries coz [...]

Within the last past few weeks, I’ve gotten 2 emails informing me about baby competitions. They are the Bonds and Parenting Australia baby photo competitions. While I would love to send in shots of our kids, I don’t have many which are competition worthy and on top of that, the kids will start to fool [...]

It was hard to start this post because reality sucks and its hard to face it. But in a way, I’m glad that this incident happened. It was on FB when I was chatting to an ex-colleague of mine from the bank. It’s been so long since we last caught up so what short time [...]

I can’t believe that we’re almost at the end of this journey. Mum arrived this morning so I’ve been telling JR that he can come any time he wants from now until Monday. It’s really good to have Mum here with me. We spent a lot of today just catching up that I haven’t finished [...]

I speak this from personal experience and what I felt being a mum who wanted to be just like all the other mums around me, but couldn’t. From the moment I knew I was pregnant with Arianna, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed her for as long as I could, or for as long [...]
