When we moved to the country at the end of last year, I stopped wearing makeup everyday. I’m not sure why, really, but when we lived in town, there was barely a day that went by where I didn’t have some form of makeup on my face. I was so used to wearing makeup that I felt…
One thing I’ve had a few questions regarding, was how the hell did I manage to get my baby to sleep through the night from 9 weeks old? From what I’ve read, this is actually not common as many babies are still not sleeping through until around 5-6 months. So I thought I’d share everything we did…
If you love beauty then there’s a good chance that you’ve heard of the brand The Ordinary. This brand has revolutionised skincare by providing high quality, active formulas that don’t cost the earth. While they are definitely not natural, they do have slightly less nasty chemicals in their products than other skincare brands as they aren’t packed…
I have been so looking forward to writing this post and sharing this room with you all, as it’s been a long time in the making! Jack’s nursery is the cutest little room, and is the third and smallest bedroom of our house. If you want to take a peek at what we’ve done so far in…
The first few times I left the house with Jack were tough. Trying to get myself ready used to take long enough, let alone having a little one to get sorted! After a few weeks, I got our “getting out of the house” schedule down pat and it’s actually something I look forward to now! I’m loving…
This post was originally titled “three months with Jack”. It then became “three and a bit months with Jack” and now we are at the 4 month mark I just decided to rename it and start again. I guess that kind of sums up the past four months really. In some ways I can’t believe how fast…
One of my absolute favourite shops to visit this year has been Postie. I have spent so much at Postie this year as many of Jack’s little outfits have come from there. We love the $8 onesies and the $5 essentials, and the clothes are such good quality for the price. I have also bought Jack a…
One of the momental moments in preparing for baby has to be buying the stroller. I spent countless hours researching the different brands and makes, and reading through a massive number of reviews. While I was pregnant, I headed into the baby shops with my mum, determined to try a few different types out to see what…
Breastfeeding. It’s one of those things that as mothers is supposed to come naturally to us. You see it everywhere, pictures of mothers smiling lovingly down at their babies. But the thing is that is doesn’t come all that easy to some people, myself included. I wasn’t going to write this post, but at the same time…
A delicious hot chocolate is one of my ultimate comforts, especially when it’s not so nice outside. While Spring is finally here, and we’ve had some amazing Spring days, there’s a storm heading over NZ so there’s no better time to enjoy an amazing hot chocolate. Nothing beats a sweet, creamy hot chocolate with tons of froth…
