Being pregnant for the second time I am quite often left with a feeling nostalgia towards about my first pregnancy. And, although not intentionally I quiet often think back to that time and compare how these two pregnancies are both the same and yet different. Neither one is 'right' so to speak just different. Funny how the second time around I am trying to remember whether I felt this way or had the same symptoms etc. I mean at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I … [Read more...]
Hacked! Shadow Box Houses
Happy Tuesday Lovely Readers! This coming Sunday my baby (I can still call him that for now) is turning two! I still can't believe it but I will save that for another post.

Creating Smiles With Allen’s
Hand's up all you 'Lolly Lovers' out there? See that.. Yip, that's me frantically waving back at you all, whilst simultaneously avoiding aisle 4 (the confectionery aisle) at New World. Now, as a parent of a little one and the main grocery shopper in our household I am always on the look out for that which is a healthier alternative. Generally speaking I avoid the confectionary aisle, it is just too tempting for this self confessed sweet tooth, and those lovely … [Read more...]
