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 and a roller and lots of dirt, mud and rocks. If Nixon had any idea …
Oh Bubbydo. You make everything just that little bit more exciting. ‘I help it’ is keeping us on our toes these days. You’re everywhere at once. Waiting for us to let our guard down and leave eggs on the bench unattended. You are an opportunist of magnificent proportion and I love you more everyday x Follow
Get the kids out of the house and into Mrs McGinty’s garden this April school holidays. Mrs McGinty is known around the neighbourhood for being a grumpy old lady, but deep down she longs for friends. So when the kids next door get bored during their school holidays, Mrs McGinty is the perfect target to play pranks on – you will always get …
In true second child fashion, Nixon began swimming lessons last week at the ‘advanced’ age of 19 months. Ethan on the other hand, had his swimming debut at 3 months and has never stopped – 10 years of swimming $!$ Dave and I were in complete agreement that the need was not there to subject ourselves Nix to hours upon …
I have been selfishly pining for this day all week. I have; silence light rain an empty house and holy shit does it feel good. Dave spent the week working in Wellington and upon his return yesterday, Nixon gave him a cursory glance and a quick high five then resumed following me around, tugging on my shirt, standing on my …
I think that the first recycling pickup after the holiday period is just the best feeling ever – all of that paper and wrapping and cardboard gone! I love it. I think that getting rid of my Christmas manicure which looked so cute pre-santa and looked so Fran Drescher post-santa was $30 very, very well spent. Also no new manicure as …
Christmas shopping for little ones is my absolute fave, especially if you shop a little further afield than your local department store – and by further afield I totally mean mean online shopping not actually driving further away that would be ludicrous! If you are brave enough to escape licensed product :::::shudder:::: and the multitude of plastic toys that stock …
Before finishing off Nixie’s Christmas Shopping yesterday, I was enjoying a bit of downtime getting my nails done and chatting away to the nail tech. We were {of course} discussing our kids and their Christmas wish lists. She was so sad to hear that I had two boys and commiserated over this fact for what seemed like forever! I have …
This post is sponsored by Nurofen for Children. Nixon has had to deal with more pain in his short life than I can even imagine. Before his diagnosis with Hirschprungs Disease, the first year of his life must have been so uncomfortable. His inability to poop on his own meant that there was always some procedure or other we had …
My Christmas shopping is progressing surprisingly well this year. I hate rush-shopping so have been steadily ticking items off my list for the past few months. The kids gifts are a different story however. The only presents locked in and ordered so far are books. And that makes me so excited! I LOVE ALL THE BOOKS! If you’re in New Zealand you …
