I pretty sure I’m going to rebrand the blog, possibly considering “The Screaming Toddler & The Barking Dogs”. What do we think? Tuesday sucked. And then there was today. I spent ALL day yesterday in the kitchen without cooking a damn thing. Just trying to clean the bastard……..whilst saying “Nixon get down. Nixon get down, NIXON GET DOWN” on repeat. …
Radio Hauraki is pretty much a part of my DNA. I grew up listening to Dad rock out to DJ Kevin Black playing Dire Straights, Led Zeppelin and ACDC while cruising in his ute, albeit horribly embarrassed by his ute as a teenage girl is prone to be! I always loved Dad’s music though. Now I’m all grown up I …

I miss wearing dresses. I really do. I have quite easily slipped back into my old wardrobe and quickly figured out what translates into breastfeeding-friendly attire. But, you can’t really hike up a dress and feed bubba whilst standing in line {for an hour!} for Santa at Smith & Caughey’s can you? And yes, if you’re wondering, I did the …
Hold on…… let me clear my desk Every day I put these guys in a more suitable place to play with them, and every day they return. Like a bad itch. It’s 8.25 am, everyone has left for the day and the baby is asleep {for now}. I should be: doing the daily pick-up of the house, returning the lost and …
As I near full term status (36 weeks today!!) I have been thinking a lot about how I have felt during this pregnancy, eight years on from my first.
