Stay at home mommy, mum, SAHM depending on where you live, I guess I am a mommy blogger and I love it! Eternal student, and eco-conscious mama who loves to read, plant in my vege garden, spend time at the beach and nurture my amazing son.

The torrential rains of last week followed by the sudden drop in temperatures over the past two days have left me shivering, but no longer am I in denial that winter is coming! It’s just around the corner which means it’s time to be proactive …
I’ve actually died and gone to heaven so if you need me……… Dave returned from Wellington with a selection of chocolates he picked for me from Bohemein Fresh Chocolates on Featherston St. I’m a bit of a chocolate fiend, so I’m trying to restrain myself …

I snapped this photo four days ago. Just looking at it makes me shiver under my woollen jumper, full length tights, fuzzy socks and nana blanket. Dave has started prepping a section of our yard for a wee makeover. It’s going to require a digger …
Realising we’ve all been scammed by this Easter/school holiday combo deal. Listening to consecutive tantrums and headbanging on the concrete floors. What the f*ck child? Needing to sleep for at least 4 days straight. Enjoyed a lie-in this morning until 7.06am at which time …
