Baby sleep lessons 101 and the devil has blonde hair.

At least, that is what he looked like at 4am this morning when he was in my bed trying to evict my eyeballs from their sockets. Blonde hair, blue eyes, a blue and white striped Bonds suit and the most devilish of grins, dimples included.
Why, oh why won’t my babies sleep through the night? […]


What is Electrophobia, J4G photos and irresponsible men.

Electrophobia: The fear of electricity or in Noah’s case, the fear of electrical appliances.
To date, Noah is afraid of;
The vacuum cleaner,
The mix master,
The blow heater,
The hair dryer,
The blower vac and
The lawn mower.
When any of these machines whir into action, Noah cries and runs to me. He clings to me tightly and shakes. His heart palpates […]


Wet, cold and oh so bored and we need some support up here!

Today it was wet and freezing and the babies and I were stuck inside to slowly go cabin mad. (Like a dog goes chain mad).
I did what any person would do and took out my camera. After the babies demolished the kitchen followed quickly by the loungeroom, unrolled a new toilet roll and started in […]


He says, She says…

There are words that I am hearing over and over. Words that are made up by Ivy and Noah but that I can understand. I want to write them down so I don’t forget…

Stark contrast and Sammy and JoJo turn one.

Today we had Lily’s party. Her friends were well behaved, well mannered and lovely. Her party was completely opposite to Imogen and Madeline’s a fortnight ago.  It was a joy to have these girls in our home.The time went so quickly and I felt relaxed and happy. Lily had an absolute ball!
Twelve months ago […]


Happy Birthday Lily and the week in review.

Sorry.
This is going to be a long one but I promise I’ll pepper it with lots of photos.
First of all,
Happy Birthday Lily!  9 today! I can barely believe that my ‘bubba’ is nine.
Where do I start to tell you everything that we have been up to in the last week? To some it might not seem […]


Hurricanes are quick to demolish your house

Beware! There is a hurricane around at the moment. Actually, two. Hurricane Noah and Ivy, collectively, the Tregenza Tornado (ok, I know technically they are different but for descriptive purposes we can consider them one and the same). Watch out! Take cover! They will demolish your home! Especially if you leave them unattended for a split […]


Easter, bathtime madness, bad hair holidays and when is a hospital NOT a hospital…

Ok, Easter is officially over in this house! If I ever see, smell or taste another chocolate egg again, it will be too soon! UGH, chocolate overload, my friends is NOT a pretty sight in a thirty - something woman. OOOOHHHH, my belly. I know, I know, no sympathy for self inflicted wounds. It was […]
