Wishing!

I wish I could be like some of the Supermums I know. Super productive, never yell and always maintain gorgeous, bouncy hair. However, the most I can manage at the moment is a fed and slightly clean toddler, clean (but not folded) washing and chicken sandwiches for dinner.

I have all these ideas of baking, knitting, clean sheets, nice smelling carpet, lots of fun activities organised for Leo and it just never seems to happen. Sure every day we read, do puzzles, play with his room full of toys, run around outside (often kicking soccer balls or blowing bubbles), but it is rare I get it together to even set up drawing, water play etc for him. I hate these feeling of not being good enough *sigh*

But, I know it's all down to time management, so as of tomorrow I am deactivating my Facebook (such a time suck!) and getting my act together to be a better and more productive housewife and mother. Wish me luck! I'll be sure to post pictures of my baking attempts and our fun craft activities

My Favourite Things!

I've decided it is time I write a list of the items that have been most useful to me these past 16 months, perhaps in the hope that some day, some body, will read this blog:



Breasts: Breastfeeding has definitely been a amazing experience for me and so much easier (once I got the hang of it!) and more cost effective then bottle/formula feeding

Playmat: This Ikea Leka Play Gym was such a life saver before Leo was crawling, it would keep him entertained for so long!

DVD: In The Night Garden has been a consistent big hit with Leo, he just adores it. The whimsical characters, colours and upbeat music even mean I don't get frustrated having it on from time to time. Definitely good when I need to get something done and a clingy toddler is making it impossible!

Moses Basket: This 'Lil Baby' Moses Basket from Big W was so amazing the first few months of Leo's life, we'll definitely be using it for bub #2! It is super cute as well

Bottles: Cherub Baby bottles are the most amazing bottles I have used, by far! I love that they are glass and therefore don't need replacing. And the adorable colour change sleeves on the outside make it easier to tell if the bottle is the ideal temperature. We own 5 and I know we will be adding to that collection soon

Baby Carrier: Our ergo (in black) has been probably my best purchase overall. Leo loves it, I love it, even Gaz loves it. It made baby wearing so much easier and in most situations is more practical then a pram. So awesome!!

Well there you have it, I could probably think of a million more things, but these few products (and female body parts!) have all been life savers for us and I cannot recommend them enough.

LOVE

So much joy and excitement coming our way. Next year is going to be truly amazing <3

Leo is now nearly 16 months and just the most amazing little boy. I took some new pictures of him today so will definitely have to do another update on him soon
Feeling pretty tired tonight so this post will just be short and sweet. Hopefully my next one will be more exciting!!
