projects

So I started sewing, I've been trolling pinterest and etsy for months, looking at headbands for dais, for cute leggings and blankets, at pretty much everything because pinterest is a vampire, a time vampire, it sucks the hours from my day without me even noticing.

I wanted to buy everything, then I realized I could probably save my money and do it myself, so that's what I did.

Daisy now has too many headbands and ill have to rotate her blankys daily.
So now I'm going to sell this stuff, I'm going to be like every other diy mama of there, but hopefully better and sell these things I created with my hands.

An awesome friend of mine is into it too, so we started an etsy shop, ageofdreams, and an instagram which has sneak peaks and what not, @ageofdreams.

This is super awkward for me, I hate putting myself out there to be judged (weird for a blogger?) I just thought if I never try ill never know.

 

Seb

I know three can be hard my boy, its hard for me too.
You think you're big enough to make your own rules, to not take a day nap, to eat chocolate instead of fruit, to make your own bedtime and watch too much tv.

Feel free to do some of these things but I need you to listen, I tell you what to do to keep you safe, to keep you healthy and happy, and to keep you my baby just a little bit longer.

Believe me when I tell you that being a grown up isn't all is cracked up to be, I wish someone tied my shoes, cooked me dinner and tucked me in to bed every night. There will be plenty of time for you to be big, I guarantee that when you are all grown you'll wish I was there to tell you off, to cook you vegetables and kiss you goodnight.

We'll get through these tough times together. Ill always be there to hold your hand no matter how big you get or how much of a big boy you think you are, to me you'll always be my baby.

Daisy / / 9 months

Daisy girl turned nine months on the ninth, we were in Bali hence the late post.

I know I'm going to say what every parent feels about their child, but gosh she's amazing. She's my snuggley, happy, cheeky little girl. My heart swells every time I look at her, she's amazing.

Her favourite spot is in my arms or in the ergo, she's pretty much attached to me somehow 90% of the time. I don't mind one bit. 

She has one tiny front bottom tooth which popped out nine months to the day, she's crawling when she's not feeling lazy but she's pulling herself up on everything. She took two dives off the furniture today but it hasn't seemed to deter her, I love her spirit. 

She's sleeping all night and taking two naps in the day. Dais is a little piggy and will eat absolutely everything. She has weetbix with Seb in the morning, yoghurt and fruit, fruit muesli bars and what ever we have for dinner plus breast feeds whenever she pleases.

I love watching this girl grow, everyday her sweet little personality shines through more and more, she's pretty great.

We're home!

So we survived! Two kids in Bali, a breeze guys.

We totally had our moments but we have just as many moments at home.

I'm feeling like the shittest blogger ever, I got in two posts while on holidays? I blame the fact that we only had wifi in our hotel lobby.

So what happened you ask? There was a lot of fun and excitement, there were tantrums and long naps, there was sickness and there was a lot of relaxing. I do regret only getting 3 massages while away but I'm not really complaining. We shopped so much but entirely not enough, we went to water bomb park which was incredible and brought back all the childhood feels.

By day 10 I was so ready to come home, I missed my bed and my house, my friends and routine but by the second last day I was over it and now that we're home it feels like we never left, except I've noticed that my kids have changed, Seb's a tween (toddler-teen) and Daisy has doubled In length and strength. She popped a tooth and aged a year. She's climbing my furniture like a tiny ninja and I need to buy her new clothes, the crib level has also been lowered so she can't take a dive off the side.

Seb got a cold in the last days of Bali and ended up with a chest infection that we're now dealing with, J is back at work so I'm trying to find my groove with the two littles again.
