Ever since the first day we found out we were having a baby, we have been foraging for bits and pieces for bub and her nursery. Shopping for baby stuff can be expensive, particularly for items that you might only use for a few months and then they have out grown them. So in keeping with my saying “I never pay full price for...

With my ever-expanding belly, I have been struggling to find clothes that cover it these days. We’re used to seeing all these yummy mummy pics in the magazines of celebrities looking hot in their ever-increasing maternity wardrobe. Unfortunately, and speaking from my own experience, our income doesn’t allow us to go ou...

This week on The Block we saw the last of the inside rooms being delivered. A big week for all with not just the delivery of the kitchen but also a re-delivery so to speak of a room that they failed miserably on – yes, a room saver. I was actually looking forward to this week and seeing what creativity would be delivered so...

Here’s the latest news on the pregnancy front. Thanks to every’s messages about my breasts last week…I knew you would be equally excited for my ever-expanding rack! Usually when I am out and about I get a few smiles from people when they see my tummy but for the first time, today someone actually bought it up a...

What a week we have had with cars! I put mine in for a major service on Monday and Clint dropped me off home (after a pit stop at Maccas to satisfy the pregnancy craving with a sausage and egg muffin and hash brown). Just as he was heading up the highway to a job, he broke down and had to get towed to a nearby mechanic. So without...

We had horrible weather for the long weekend just gone. One of the things I used to enjoy doing with my mum on crappy weather days was visiting a display home village and looking at the houses. We would wander around and sometimes joke as if we lived there. “Would you like a cup of tea?” I would ask mum as we stood in...

Another week on The Block and it’s getting to the pointy end of the season with only a few more rooms to deliver. This week saw the delivery of the living area, and in some cases, a dining area. My biggest question this week is why is everyone going so blah with the white walls?!? Where’s some colour guys? To be...

Here’s the latest on the pregnancy. Sorry the pic isn’t a side on view but for some reason the one I took has me blinking so at least you now get to see the watermelon view of my tummy. For those that know me personally and also know I have never had much up top…check out my rack…how exciting!!
Thank you...

Business has been busy for Clint in the last few weeks. He has been working sometimes six days a week to get all the jobs completed. The good thing about having your own businesses is that when things are quiet, you can always fill the time with renovating your house as there is always something to be done (no rest for the wicked...

Well there really was never a question as to whether we were going to find out the sex of the baby before it is born. I am a planner and I like to know what to anticipate so I can do my “planning thing”. We’ve literally been counting the days until we could have our next scan and find out. There’s been l...
