An eagerly anticipated annual event for the water-play-starved kids in our little town is the Scout Waterslide. The kids {and their parents and leaders} do an amazing job of using our community’s proximity to the river to create a super fun waterside that recycles all …
Oh Easter. Perfect timing this year, 4 days in a row with no work, no rushing, no scheduling {rugby practice is still on this afternoon which has just sent Ethan into fits of rage}, but aside from that, nothing we HAVE to do. This week …
Check me out, full maternity gears on for the first time! (and I was comfortable!). I splashed out in the weekend and found the maternity gear at The Warehouse, this Maya T was only $15 and quite thick, I’m hopeful that it will wash well. But that is me in a size large, this baby is huge. I’m seeing my midwife tomorrow so will be interesting to get her opinion, my own fundal height measurement put me four weeks ahead!!!!! Scary.
I had been looking for a comfy maternity maxi skirt for a while so was stoked to pop in to Pumpkin Patch and find this perfect knit maxi skirt. The gusset is super comfy under my bump, though it’s not quite long enough to stay pulled up, and the length is just right on me – I’m 167cm tall. I had visions of me wearing this all winter even after bubs arrives as it is a very ‘discreet’ maternity skirt, but there appears to be a problem with the fabric. After one wear it has laddered in two places along the horizontal stripes, ending in a hole by the side seam, so I will attempt to return it and report back. They have 30% off maternity wear online at the moment btw : )
Top: Maya Maternity Tee

We have a winner! random.org picked the first commenter, who was Treena-Marie! Thanks so much for entering everyone, and sorry again for the stingy prize – everyone at home is watching me like a hawk to make sure I don’t throw away any other valuable items! …
These shoes were definitely a sale motivated purchase, however, they had been on my radar for winter for some time. I purchased them online having got my sizing fairly well sussed from Overland and I was in love as soon as I opened the box. …
Oh lordy, feeling the physical strain this week. The 25 week milestone has brought more fatigue and lots of belly / ligament pain. Any item of clothing that sits under my bump is just torturous, read: I actually purchased an item of maternity clothing this week! A lovely stretchy maxi skirt from Patch that I’m sure I will wear all winter, even after bubba arrives. I am happily keeping up with all of Ethan’s commitments and work, Dave and Mum are a big help, but the notorious baby-brain I suffered with Ethan is back with a vengeance. I recycled a bunch of vouchers I had been sent as giveaways for the blog! Oh the shame of typing that email.
Mainly I just feel so excited. Every time I look in my rear vision mirror I have to remind myself that in 15 weeks there will be a little baby cruising around back there, though it’s surprising this ever actually slips my mind as the child is constantly ninja-ing my insides. I am a wee bit scared that baby is going to be ginormous. At my last midwife visit I was measuring two weeks ahead so it will be interesting to see if this has changed at my appointment next week.
By the way, do you love this top as much as me? Bargain of the year, nicely spotted by me a The Warehouse for $20! The other colour-ways were quite ugly, which is actually fortunate as I would have bought them all if they were half decent! A perfect bump-coverer in comfy cotton spandex.
Shirt: Maya @ The Warehouse $20

Dave disappeared for a while on Saturday and when I found him again he was in the kitchen whipping up the first batch of what I’m sure will be a regular on the baking circuit – or non-baking actually! See that pile of packaged muesli …
I have been using Google Reader to follow and enjoy all of your amazing blogs for years now. I love it. It’s simple, it works and I valued being able to sign in to Gmail and all of my shit was in one place. Sigh. …
I loved this song the first time I heard it. Do yourself a favour and have a little listen, wait for the tempo to pick up and you will LOVE.
This dress is the BEST dress I have ever purchased, I can’t believe I haven’t featured it on Wardrobe Wednesday yet. I purchased it very early in my pregnancy in a larger size than normal as I just knew it would become a go-to …
