Curled up on the couch with a good book is one of my favourite places to be. That said, I can't remember the last time I actually got to sit uninterrupted and read. Usually, I am grabbing a couple of pages here and there as I always find something else I could / should be doing. So when we headed away for the weekend recently the first thing I packed was my copy of 'Five Days Left', as I knew naptime was my golden uninterrupted opportunity. Five Days Left is a 'heart breaking and yet … [Read more...]
Kiwi Mummy Blogs Review ~ Recipes For Messy Play
"Messy play is one of the great joys of early childhood" ~ Cathy Sheppard Towards the end of last year Sebastian and I were asked to review the book 'Recipes for Messy Play' by the ladies at Kiwi Mummy Blogs.

I feel it gives you a truer sense of who they really are, you can really see their personality shine through. Sebastian's nursery is one of my most favourite rooms in our house. It is a constant reminder of how precious time really is, as I know all too soon we will be changing his room to a 'big boy' toddler … [Read more...]
My Goals ~ 2015
I am not one for resolutions. I feel you make them in the heat of the festive moment at 12.01am on January 1st without giving them much thought. More often than not by January 2nd you haven't started them and by January 31st they are completely forgotten only to be remembered again December 31 at 11.58pm. I am one for setting goals though. Some might say they are the same thing just different words but from the looks of things out there a lot of you think the same way. I feel like goals are … [Read more...]
