We have had some pretty big milestones here in the last 24 hours. Sprogs literally growing up over night. Jack is now riding his bicycle without training wheels! We’ve been watching him (obviously) and for a while now, he has been balancing himself for the most part, and only really using his trainers to turn. [...]
I’m a huge advocate of baby-wearing. I believe it helps to strengthen the bond between mom and baby. And nothing, except breast feeding, soothes a fussy baby like being close to mommy. Babies settle so nicely when they can feel and smell mommy. My family always joke that I never put my babies down… Except [...]
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 [...]
“If I had seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Sir Isaac Newton We stand on the shoulders of giants. We would not be where we are today, if it was not for the these giants. ( and even though my brothers are giants, I’m being metaphorical). :) We have [...]
I have been toying with the idea of cloth nappies for some time. My mom (hi mom) has always told that its difficult and gross. Other moms have told me that its really not that bad and is actually pretty easy once you get into it. I’ll be honest, I was/am nervous. I can be [...]
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 [...]
I’m in love… with my laundry. I didn’t always feel this way about my laundry. For a while I begrudged it. I’d moan at it and curse it. Everytime I found that it had grown a little bigger… I’d get angry. I’d wonder who kept feeding it and why at times it seemed so out [...]
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 [...]
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that between B, Mel and I, we tweeted throughout labour. It made for a very unique and special experience. From the second I tweeted that I was indeed in labour, the love, support and encouragement started coming in. I could actually feel everyone’s thoughts and prayers. They [...]
All of us parents do it, inevitably. We speak about how much/little sleep we are currently getting. I try not to dwell on it too much, otherwise I run the risk of falling into the trap of becoming obsessed with it. But we’ve hit some interesting new territory so I’m going to blog about it [...]
