25.01.2022 That peaceful quite of the world just before dawn Mornings are fresh and cold at the moment but the mist rising over the river against the pale watercolours of sunrise make for a beautiful view. So grateful to call this little piece of paradise home #dailygratitude #spacetoplay #familyhome

24.01.2022 Sending out love and positive vibes to everyone all over the world right now. Covid-19 wasn't something any of us anticipated and it's affecting all of us somehow. Feeling extremely lucky to be on maternity leave atm surrounded by good friends and family who are taking care of us and allowing us to stay safe at home. It's going to be an interesting world to welcome our baby into with things constantly changing. All we can do is take things day by day #whatisnormalanyway #stayhome

23.01.2022 I found this quote really resonating with me with so much noise in our lives the words we choose can have a big impact on our little people. I also love @dr.vanessalapointe and her philosophy on raising children. I recently got her book (in cd so I can listen to it in the car) on Parenting Right From the Start. . . .... #positiveparenting #raisinggood #mumlife See more

22.01.2022 Winter here means the mornings are cold but the days so beautiful and warm. It was great to make it out to another park for some birthday party fun. Hayley was a little nervous having so many unknown kids around II think Covid-19 has left us all feeling a little strange around other people. But the excitement of new play kept her busy . . . #playgroundfun #getoutside #funinthesun

22.01.2022 She brings a brightness to my life I never knew was possible But the flip side to brightness is darkness, the same for every downhill cruise comes an uphill struggle. Some days I feel like I'm nailing this Mumma gig and other days I feel exhausted and unappreciated. But every day I make a choice and I choose love and positivity We don't get it right every day but every day is another chance to make it right! ... #conciousparenting #keepitrealmummas #startfresheveryday #chooselove See more

21.01.2022 Enjoying reading the beautiful and inspiring blog posts by @raisedgood While the arrival of our newest family member has been greeted with love and excitement, we know that the adjustment to family dynamics and these changes will have a huge impact on all of us!! A reminder to be kind to ourselves as well as our children #parentingwithlove #conciousparenting

20.01.2022 spread more love

19.01.2022 We all have those moments. I woke up feeling out of sorts this morning and I could see our morning going one of two ways... I could have got irritated at the kids because in the morning everyone wants their needs met first (whatever I wanted would have to wait) and just one slip in the routine ends up in one or all of us a crying mess on the floor. OR I take a few deep breaths and change my perspective, how lucky I am to have two gorgeous kids, how grateful I am not to be hea...ding off to work, that although everyone wanted something from me there was plenty of time, food and mummy to go around. So I took those few deep breaths and hugged my kids . . . #slowdown #hugyourlovedones #weallstruggle See more

15.01.2022 I couldn't agree more with this so often we get caught up thinking we will be happier when we reach our goals, loose the weight, find the guy, buy the thing, etc etc but the journey is where the magic is! . . . #choosejoy #thesimplethings #makeyourownhappiness

15.01.2022 The big dude hit 3mths!! Cannot believe how fast that flew by! I love them both dearly but today Miss 3 tested my patience something hard. We caught up at the park for a playdate and her and her lovely friend went on this rollercoaster display of emotions! One minute they are hugging and playing and being nice, then next minute they are pushing and crying and throwing a tantrum, then they're right back to playing happily again! You'd almost get whiplash from the mood swings ... not looking forward to teenage hormones with this one!! Lucky Bub just slept in the carrier so he was super easy. . . . #threenager #girlmum #girlmom #boymum #boymom See more

14.01.2022 Raise your hand if you've been here I know that when my house is messy my life feels messy! I try to remind myself it's not the case and that no one is going to comment at my funeral that my home was/wasn't clean but it still bugs me and I know it bugs hubby too! Since I've started decluttering instead of just tidying it's made a huge difference, not only to keeping the place tidier for longer but how much easier cleaning up can be. Stuff creeps into the house on a d...aily bases, art from daycare, things from the supermarket, items borrowed/returned, moved from a different room, mail or parcel deliveries... And then they collect and attract and almost seem to multiply!! But when things have their own place and get put where they belong it doesn't seem cluttered or messy. I found the secret is that it has to be easy to put away. You'll always go to more effort to get something you want than to put it away . . . #declutteryourlife #everythinghasaplace #messequalsstress See more

12.01.2022 There were definitely so special moments I have been sad to miss this time due to current conditions. But it hasn't stopped us from enjoying the beautiful moments we have experienced

11.01.2022 I'm normally a pretty happy person (unless I'm tired or #hangry) but the other week I snapped. I said some things I wasn't proud of and I stormed off in a huff. Now I could've totally justified my spat, I'm a tired mum with a toddler and young baby! But when I stopped having a #pityparty and was honest with myself it really wasn't him I was upset with. The real issue was that I'd stopped taking care of me. In the chaos of #mumlife I'd forgotten how important it was to look ...after myself! And while family and friends have been wonderful supporting our transition into life with two kids, the only person who could really take care of me, was me! So each day I'm focusing on small positive changes. Getting outside more for fresh air and sunshine. Reading inspirational books. Making a conscious effort to talk with more kindness, not just to others but also myself. I'd like to take a moment to invite you to do the same, and choose to put yourself first, because #selfcare isn't selfish #positiveenergy #aintnohoodlikemotherhood #onedayatatime

11.01.2022 It's been nearly 3mth since Miss H and I had done something with just the two of us (outside home). So we left the little dude chilling with Nan and Aunty and took the opportunity to escape on an adventure to the park We sailed a pirate ship across the ocean, went fishing for mermaids, tried paragliding over mountains, swung as high as we could go, and jumped and ran and laughed. I'm not sure who loved it more, her or me, but we both needed that quality one on one time ... . . . #parkadventures #mummydaughtertime #keepingitreal #playmatters See more

10.01.2022 Sometimes we can miss the trees through the forest #dailyactsofkindness

09.01.2022 My beautiful sister-in-law @lizwalsh24 gifted me this gorgeous hamper today in preparation for baby #2 and initially I was so touched by the thoughtfulness of it but the more I looked into each of the items included in the hamper the more excited I became!! Firstly the @madetomilk Breastie was something I had been looking into getting this time around (now I understand how letdowns work) being able to catch the milk on the non-feeding side will be so much better than lettin...g is soak into my shirt, or the super cute handmade breastpads which were also included in my hamper!! Secondly the collection of delicious nourishing treats from #madetomilk including three different flavours of cookie mix: milk choc chip + white choc macadamia + triple choc & a Delux smoothie mix - I am a HUGE fan of boobie bikkies These treats contain galactogoues - "a food or drug that promotes or increases the flow of mother's milk" to be honest I hadn't heard this term before so a quick google caught me up to date. Foods naturally high in galactogoues include: wholegrains (esp oats), dark leafy greens, fennel, garlic, papaya, chickpea, nuts & seeds (esp almonds) And finally, the gender of bub #2 is a surprise and already having a little girl our collection of pink attire is plentiful, so it's nice to have neutral outfit with a hint of blue! Thanks for the love Lizzie #mothersmilk #lactationcookies #loveyourjourney #mumlife #thoughfulgifts

08.01.2022 Always growing we aren't born with all the knowledge, we have to learn it! Often it can bet too hard, or we don't have time, whatever the excuse only YOU have the ability to make growth happen. So what's holding you back? #growyou #changeisinevitable #takecharge

07.01.2022 Unlocking her imagination through play with cardboard boxes The first day we turned boxes into a house and the next day we used water paints to decorate! I love seeing her so engaged in play that she looses track of time Mummy bonus, while she played I got to enjoy my coffee hot!... #cardboardbox #screenfreeplay #kidsimagination

06.01.2022 Love this advice from Robert Fulghum and repost from @mindfulmamamentor #monkeyseemonkeydo #whoswatchingyou #setagoodexample

04.01.2022 Managed to capture this sweet moment of daddy feeding the little man while mummy enjoyed her hot chocolate - on that note @madetomilk makes the most delicious lactation hot chocolate - I love being able to breastfeed but it's just as rewarding sharing these bonding moments with hubby too . . . #momentswithdad #fathersonbonding #mummybreak

04.01.2022 Really enjoyed this Netflix doco on simplifying life through #minimalism Great way to start of the new year!!

04.01.2022 Couldn't agree with this more!! And it was so great to get out to the park again today! Sandcastles, swings and scooters for Miss H while the little one enjoyed cuddles #collegescrossing #parkplay #lifeoutside
