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 …
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!
This summer was l o n g. And HOT, and many of you basked in the sun and the heat and wished it would never end. I however, am huge and pregnant and we are on tank water. I don’t begrudge you all your bikinis, and your paddling pools, your slip n slides and cute outfits. I had my Tropical Fruity’s – think pineapple, orange and passionfruit – so found solace in those {{{do you hear the tiny violins?}}}.
True story.
We all love these ice blocks and they became a regular in our freezer for the duration of the Summer-That-Wouldn’t-Quit, these aren’t a soft drink based flavour (think Lemonade, Cola, Orange) they are 99% real fruit juice with no added sugar, colours or flavours. I really, genuinely love this product so was delighted to be asked to review them and give some multipacks away to you guys.
Therein lies the problem; see, my baby brain recycled the vouchers. Gone. You can rest assured they did not go to landfill, I removed two for the grocery store, used one, put the remaining vouchers back in the envelope they came in and put them out for recycling. I know because I have done this before, with cheques and gift vouchers usually belonging to Dave. What a terrible Mummy Blogger I am, sullying our good name and reputation!
So, I have ONE precious voucher for a Multipack of Popsicle Tropical Fruitys up for grabs. We will do this quickly (so I don’t lose this voucher!), just make sure you Like The Best Nest on Facebook , leave a comment below and I will do a random draw tomorrow evening. If you miss out you can pick up a multi-pack in supermarkets for RRP$5.99 (though I have got them at Pak n Save for $4.99).
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 …
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 bars in the background? We have no less than five different varieties in our pantry at any one time! Ridic. I am probably the biggest consumer of the humble muesli bar in our house, yet they are always a super quick go-to snack for any of us in a hurry.
1 cup honey
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups rolled oats
2 cups of extras (eg coconut, choc chips, dried fruit)
In a large saucepan bring honey and brown sugar to a boil, constantly stirring. Turn heat to low, add peanut butter, mix until smooth.
When smooth remove from heat, add dry ingredients, mix until evenly coated.
Line 9 x 13 pan with baking paper and press mixture evenly into pan.
Refrigerate until firm then cut into desired size. Store in an airtight container.

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 favourite. It’s got bat-wing sleeves, is a soft silky material and has a loose waist tie that I am able to position above the bump for these next few months. The detail is lost in these pics so here is a beautiful person showing it off;

I looked outside yesterday and couldn’t help but appreciate the sight of two loads of whites drying on the line, yes the water truck came {FOR THE 5TH TIME} and so we washed. I hate to begrudge people a long, amazing summer, seeing as how …
