I love the idea of a play-room. Some spot in the house where all of the toys can remain and the kiddos can go off and play, leaving the rest of the house looking clean, picked-up, and not like a wild bunch of hooligans live there. In fact, having a play room was a big… Read More Kids in the Kitchen
I’ve come across all sorts of things in the process of our moving and packing. Some I’d remembered and some were pleasant (and funny) surprises. Like my sister’s piggy bank. Don’t worry, Val – I’m keeping it safe for you. And I know that it’s yours because it’s got your name written on the bottom. … Read More Boxes of Memories
Today was one of those days. The kind of day where I sort of wished that I had a remote control with a “rewind” and “edit” button for my life. Don’t worry, I’ve seen the movie “Click” and I know what happens with that. For starters, Joe was up before 6am. And I mean up. … Read More Nope.

That’s why this post makes me happy, because I get to show you a video that I find hilarious and expose you all to a Kiwi accent. I say a Kiwi accent because it’s been my experience… Read More Living in New Zealand: ____ Kiwi Mums Say
This is such a sweet, moving message from a dad to his daughter. Even though we have a son, I found it sweet, touching, and it brought tears to my eyes.
I thought that I would share what a day in our life looks like. Please join me for a photo tour! 1:50am – Bad start to morning – woke up with a terrible headache, ended up getting out of bed, being sick, taking Panadol (Tylenol) and drinking some water 2:30am – Back to sleep 6:30am… Read More 1 Day

I’ve found that there are certain things that work for us really well, and I’ve developed my own little “bag of tricks”, if you want to call it, of “must-have” items when it comes to having a newborn. These things have really come in handy and I’d recommend… Read More My Bag of Tricks
