Oh this just made me cry. It’s short and it’s probably oh so familiar to you stay at home Mum’s and Dads out there. I watched that beautiful video as I was deciding between writing a Things I’m Loving post {full of beautiful pics and …
I have been channelling my domestic goddess even more than normal lately and, I have been S E W I N G. I know, it IS a big deal. Prior to recent adventures in Spotlight I had not sewed since Home Economics in Form 2. …
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 stand-up breastfeeding manoeuvre IN THE LINE for Santa at S&C this week! I’m a pro guys, I got the skills…..
Anyway, this little number from Breastmates solves all of my dress-angst and is easy-peasy to breast feed in. For reals. And doesn’t it look smashing?
So I dressed it up a bit here with my Kathryn Wilson shoes and a statement necklace, but, I think this dress would look just as great with a bo-ho scarf and flats or jandals {which is probably how I would wear it most of the time}. The cut of this dress is perfect for post-baby bodies, it’s flattering, non-clingy – hell yes – and the fabric is so forgiving it would definitely see you through a range of sizes as you and your belly transition post-partum. I haven’t even gotten to the best part yet, check this out;
So easy and discreet! I am truly feeding Nixon in this shot. See, I don’t really care about discreet, I will feed anywhere and could give two hoots about it, but I know not all mummies feel this way and not all members of the public appreciate a kick-ass breastfeeding mama {wtf?}, so, this dress is pretty ah-maze-ing. I’m thinking summer weddings, Christmas and New Years parties, sunday markets……..
I love it. Available in two colour ways, RRP $99 available from Breastmates
The dress was provided for my consideration but the opinions expressed are my own.
Yesterday was seriously one of the most boring days of my life, no joke. E is away with Mum and Dave is in Hong Kong so Nix and I are at home cruising. Which is actually quite nice, the boring part is how I chose …
Oh my sweet little doll-baby. How are you five months old you little maniac? You truly are quite hilarious, your mad giggles stop us all mid-task and make our hearts sing, your little mouth smiles so big at everyone, your fat ol’ legs are just …
I’m SO excited to share this with you! You know when you get a gift for someone and you just know without a doubt that it’s going to be their most favourite gift ever? That’s how I feel about this sword I ordered for Ethan.
E is crazy-obsessed with anything Lord of The Rings / Hobbit related and spends all of his outdoor time playing sword fighting with a bamboo garden stake. Plastic doesn’t cut it for this kid, he would rather play with a stick than an exact replica Made in China. I thought Trade Me would be a good place to start the hunt and found exactly what I was looking for here.
I cannot rave enough about how awesome this sword is! It’s beautifully carved and finished, very smooth, well weighted and personalised beautifully. This is something my small boy will treasure and then pass down to his little brother who will love it some more. It will last that long because it is SO well crafted. Linda was fantastic to deal with and $35 + shipping was a fabulous price for something I am so excited about Ethan opening on Christmas Day.
PS. This is NOT a sponsored post, I just wanted to share this absolute treasure of a toymaker with you! Merry Christmas!
A totally unplanned return to Wardrobe Wednesday, so the photos are sub-par selfies I’m sorry! Nix is too busy slobbering on my camera to take pictures these days so what’s a girl to do? Kelly’s Wardrobe Wednesday post today featured ankle boots and a skirt, …
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 …
