Right now I am all about the quick and simple recipes, and even better if that recipe is healthy and tasty. I’ll be honest, while I love cooking I’m not much of a cook, preferring to make simple things or rely or a recipe. Of course, with a nearly six month month old in the house, I…
If I think back a year (or even 6 months), it’s amazing how much my life has changed (for the better!). I had originally planned to do a “day in the life” post when I was pregnant and I never got around to it (surprise, surprise 😅). So I figured why not capture what an average day…
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…
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 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…
If you Google the term ‘newborn’, people are mixed on what age this extends to. Some say three months, while others say one month. Either way my little dude is no longer being considered a newborn (how scary!) so I’ve now had three months to get into the swing of things and find out what works and…
