Day to mundane day exploits of a fairly ordinary family – NL Part II
Yesterday was our anniversary, and instead of enjoying a romantic dinner, we were knee deep in vomited loaded washing (4 loads to be precise). This is the first time I've been struck with gastro in as long as I can remember, and the first time Dave has taken a day off work since we got... Continue Reading →
So I like a band called Biffy Clyro. One of the remarkable things is that so does Belinda, and they are on her must see live list! We don't generally share musical taste.So I find out they are playing some shows in NL and decide to pick up some tickets and organise a babysitter. I... Continue Reading →
I have just emerged from a fog. This fog set in just after Christmas. It began with a crap January. I was 6 months pregnant and faced an unexpected challenge. It had lingering effects. I lost friends, tested others allegiances and basically sucked.Miss E was only 10 months and she’d lost her ‘baby of the... Continue Reading →
Only a few close friends know this about me. It's taken me a while to come to a place where I feel I can share. I'm so ashamed.I'm an addict.

Miss E and I don't get a lot of one on one time together. By the time she was 4 months old I was already pregnant with Mr A, which was an exhausting pregnancy! Then of course, once he was born I had to focus a lot of attention on to him. It just happened that... Continue Reading →

He also backs up by waking... Continue Reading →
So I started putting together a little video of our recent family holiday in Drenthe in the north east in NL. It was a holiday of firsts really. It was our first driving holiday (excluding weekends away). Our first Holiday as a family of 5. First holiday Dutch Camping style (a holiday we swore we'd never... Continue Reading →
Every Saturday, in a bid for some one on one time and to hopefully save us some therapy fees resulting from the effects of perceived middle child syndrome, Dave takes Miss E to Little Gym. And in a bid to alleviate the guilt I feel, for neglecting her in favour of her more needy sister and... Continue Reading →
I am now officially a 'Dance Mom'. How exciting!Miss A had her first recital last weekend. It was quite a big deal here, she's been practising for weeks and giving us special performances in the lounge room, back yard, restaurant - wherever.To be honest, Miss A's spontaneous dance performances have petered off. I think she's... Continue Reading →
