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…
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…
Ever since I went blonde, I know my hair hasn’t been at it’s healthiest. Bleaching and highlighting hair does take a serious toll on it, and I was left with lots of split ends and broken, brittle hair. While I’ve found a fab shampoo and conditioner to help restore the majority of my hair, there are all…
I can’t tell you how many blog posts and articles I read about packing for the hospital before Jack was born. I was so terrified I would forget something, so I actually started writing my list at around 23 weeks just so I could ensure I had everything I needed for both me and bubs. Of course,…
I recently did a bit of a poll over on my Instagram (if you’re not following me then what are you waiting for?! 🤣), and the majority of people said they wanted to see more mum life and parenting related posts on the blog. Of course I’m stoked about this as this is what I am loving…
