It is always a good day when you get mail that smells so yummy you want to gobble up! And that is exactly how our Monday a couple of weeks ago started, with some yummy scrummy 'Pineapple Heads' bath time products. I couldn't wait for Sebastian to try them, in fact I wanted to jump straight in there with him (they smelt that yummy). The Pineapple Heads philosophy is - No Baddies Allowed! This means they don't work with bad people, businesses or allow bad things into … [Read more...]
Lil Gooseberry ~ 24 Week Update
How can I be 24 weeks already? I mean seriously! It feel like just yesterday I was staring at the little stick with those two lines, jumping up and down (on the inside) as my Mum was staying and I wanted to tell Steve first.

I am secretly (not so secretly) wishing this little one is early or at least on time. I would … [Read more...]
Lil Gooseberry ~ 20 Week Update

We have also been lucky enough to see bubs for the first time as last week we had our anatomy scan. And … [Read more...]

A fabulous new childrens book - 'Ducks to Water' by New Zealand author Brett Avison. It was a wet and miserable day so Sebastian and I immediately snuggled up … [Read more...]
Help! The Wolf is Coming!
Right from a little one I have always loved books and reading. I love curling up with a good book and being transported away with a good novel. As a Mum is warms my heart seeing Sebastian starting to foster that same love of books and reading (although he is yet to actually do this). I love seeing him sitting there either in his room or in the lounge in front of his books picking them up and looking at them one by one, looking at the pictures, taking them it. I love it even more when he then … [Read more...]
