Another week in the life of the preggo and everything has been going really well. If you think about it, I can technically go into labour any time after 37 weeks….that’s like less than 9 weeks away…which means we could have a baby at home in less than 9 weeks…how surreal is that!?!
Clint and I went to an...

You might remember I created some butterfly shadow boxes for Mackenzee’s room last year. Well today I wanted to share with you a little art project that I have been working on for the baby’s room. It is so simple and cheap…you will love it!
All you need is some Ribba frames from Ikea which cost around $15 each. I...

Today we took one step further towards progressing our main bathroom. It’s our downstairs bathroom (remember we have an upside down house with living spaces and master up and the rest of the bedrooms down) and it’s one that our guests use when they stay. Being the bathroom right next to the baby’s room, it will...

I mentioned a few weeks ago that it has been so long since we rendered the house and not painted it that we have become known around the neighbourhood as the “house with no colour”. Well this weekend we took the first step in rectifying that and started painting out those ugly white retaining walls. What was also good...

It must be baby season as I found out this week that my cousin is pregnant as well as my friend…how very exciting! My friend and I joke about how we used to go out dancing to night clubs and now we will belong to another sort of club…the pram pushing hot mummies club
Lot’s of doctor appointments this week just...
A confession to make

Yes, I have a confession to make and it is rather an embarrassing one. But first let me explain myself.
You see, I have always been house proud. I remember many years ago, whenever my parents used to come and visit me, that I would clean the house from top to bottom, make the bed and then sleep on the lounge that night so I...

There has been a lot happening around the house these last few days as Clint gets stuck into a few of the items on the “to-do list”. One of the items that has been bugging him the most is the stairs. Every day he walks up and down them and feels the project is just not finished and he hated the old chip board treads. ...

The pregnancy is continuing on very nicely. I’m feeling like I have more energy and less of a mushy head…what do they call it…baby brain.
Being so certain that we were having a boy, we had agreed on a boys name but then when we found out we were having a girl, we really struggled to find a name we both liked. I...

Yes folks, that is what we have become known as in our neighbourhood. It’s been well over 12 months since we had the house rendered.
At first, painting the exterior of the house was not a priority so we put it on the back burner. However, recently the hold up has been that we just couldn’t decide on paint colour...
