In a society that is so obsessed with how we look, I wonder how many stop to think of the story that their body tells. I’ve been thin, I’ve been not-so-thin. I’ve been fit, I’ve been unfit. I’ve been buff, too buff. I’ve been healthy, I’ve been not-so-healthy. I’ve been anorexic, I’ve tried to be [...]
After mentioning today on Twitter,that we are bus toilet-training Kyla, I was asked for some tips. So this is my post dedicated to the in and outs of what we do toilet-training wise (eloquent intro isn’t it?) We DON’T use a potty. I really don’t like them. The cleaning, the sterilizing…. I cant help but [...]
Hi, my name is Lauren and I’m a mommy blogger. Or am I? I’m a mom who blogs about my sprogs and our lives (when I blog ). These days being a “mommy blogger” seems to imply that 1 has to be endorsed, sponsored or paid to write I am none of those things! I’m [...]
When it comes to planning the sprogs birthday parties, I like to keep things very simple. Awesome jumping castle, pretty looking (preferably also yummy tasting) cake, snacks and party food for kids and adults and a take home gift/party pack for the kids. Add in some balloons to the mix for decor, a themed table [...]
One of the great things about the Mother Nature All-in-One nappy is that it’s adjustable. You can adjust the nappy and use it for a toddler and a newborn (after a wash, obviously ) Which is exactly what I did. Although given Jaydon’s and Kyla’s size, I didn’t have to adjust it by much. I [...]
As mentioned previously, the Mother Nature Product Team sent me their All-in-One nappy to test out and review. This is how it has gone so far for Kyla. I washed the nappy inner and bamboo boosters as advised on the Mother Nature website. I’ve never before used only Bicarbonate of Soda as a softener and was amazed to [...]
A friend on FaceBook asked, “if you could be any superhero, who would you be?” There were the usual responses of Batman, Superman, Ironman (only men responded) and it got me thinking of who would I be. It took me about 2 minutes to realise that I’d be myself . I’m a mom, I’m the [...]
Today is the day that Jaydon hits the 3 month old mark. It never ceases to amaze me how quickly the months go by. He is doing well and is a fantastic little guy. He is fitting into his 3-6month clothing and is around 7.5kgs. He’s the size of an average 6month old it looks [...]
Mothers Guilt… Its a rather nasty little phrase. I don’t like it or what it represents. Personally, I’d like to see those words kicked to the curb! I don’t believe that those words should hold the power that they do. They seem to suck too many moms in and spit them out as bedraggled, confused [...]
I’m behind in blog posts, just for a change The day I went for my 40 weeks scan, I was still feeling very comfortable. I was struggling a bit in the heat but it was nothing that an hour or 2 in the swimming pool couldn’t cure. That and munching lots of ice I still [...]
