23.01.2022 So the other day Nolan said to me I think I want to do it all again and of course I grabbed onto that and took it as - we’re doing it all again. My whole entire body spiked up and my ovaries were literally begging me, throbbing even. My mind hasn’t stopped thinking about it and everything I see is baby related - a sign or just the fact I’m looking for it. I’ve never had that done feeling, I just felt as though I’ll forever have it. It’s something I’ll feel for the rest of m...y life. I crave babies, I crave the love. Then reality sinks in and it wouldn’t be as simple as the last four babies have been. Nolan cut me off - cut me dry - snipped it - had a vasectomy. As soon as I mentioned let’s do it, he turns cold turkey on me I feel selfish because I do have four healthy children - yet some women can’t even have one. I feel all that. It hurts my heart. And then age kicks in and self doubt. My mental health kicks in - will I be a better mother next time because I’m so much more relaxed than I have ever been. Anyway he said no. So now I’m just sitting over here looking at baby photos and videos, laughing at what he said to me I suggest millions of things that you never take on board, but this one thing you’ve taken it hook line and sinker? He has a solid point. #foreverclucking
22.01.2022 Focus on the step in front of you. Not the whole staircase. It seems much more doable Rather than say you want to go to the gym 4 times this week (I know lame) aim for the next day, then the next and before you know it you’ve already gone halfway through
22.01.2022 Hey Mel, five years ago you didn’t think you’d be able to go to coles and get something simple like milk. Here you are, though grounded for a virus that’s spreading worldwide but with a different insight to what it could’ve been. You had big plans for 2020, never forget that. All you had to do was believe YOU could change it. It wasn’t easy.... Hard work. Still working now but we got there. See more
19.01.2022 It’s okay to have great days, it feels great to have these. It’s also okay to have bad days too. The sluggish, blahhh ones. Some days I’ll get up and I’ll own the day. My morning will run smoothly, the kids will be ready for school and the rest of the day I’ll be productive and tick things off my to do list. Other mornings I’ll be woken by someone being wet, we will be running around like headless chooks and someone’s will loose a shoe. I’ll kick... my toe on the skirting board and claim it hurts more than after birth pains and my car will be empty on petrol. I’ll have a list, look at the list and then scroll on social media until it’s also 2pm only to think it’s too late now to start the list. That’s what days can be like. That’s even what some weeks could be like. It’s okay - as long as you can see light at the end of the dark haze. We aren’t made to always be rainbows. Allow yourself to have slow days - unproductive. You’re human after all See more
17.01.2022 I thought I’d share some random facts about me. I love learning about people and their life. These are ones you’d never had known. - Nolan and I applied for house rules years ago, we got to the final cut but didn’t make it. ... - I have an uncle who I never met doing life in jail for a killing spree. This resulted in name spelling changes. I also had a best mate in my senior years going on an awful attack of his family whilst high on ice - I don’t think he’ll ever see the outside the bars again - really sad actually. - I once won a kissing competition for channel v when I was 15, I told my dad I was studying at a friends and bam there I was making out on TV - we won though - I was also heavily grounded. I’m surprised I’m alive now @sophiemonk was performing - it must’ve been 18years ago now at Gosford race track. - Dib Dib Dob Dob. I can’t read a compass but I can tie knots like your life depended on it and erect a tent before you can tell me the 12 principles of the scout law. I did Cubs/ Scouts for a few years - thanks to my dad feeling as though we needed to experience it. I was definitely not the joke of the school in year 7 when my friends were going to blue light and I was going to scouts I had a my yellow cord and red cord. - I have pulled out of university three times now and I’m also paying off a HECS debt for a childcare course I never started. Childcare - WHAT WAS I THINKING. - pea and ham soup - the name, the smell - When I was a teenager my mum went to live with Buddhist cult about 5 hours away from us. We didn’t see her for a long time. - I collect cicadas in boxes when their hurt in summer time, I call it the cicada hospital, I can’t stand watching them get eaten by birds when they’ve spent 7 years under ground. Anyway; I’m normal I promise.
16.01.2022 LUST vs LOVE Lust: I’m silky smooth. All over. Love: I’m wearing leggings so I shaved my ankles, that’s it.
15.01.2022 Her whole life has been documented on here - almost five years of it now. I love being able to look back at her videos and photos. #indiefaithwatts
15.01.2022 Because I’m sick of being a no mum. I’m always the fun police, the bed controller, the menu maker, the lunch packer, the clothing picker and practical present buyer. I didn’t want to be this kind of mum. I was going to fun.... Lately I’ve been letting down the walls. Letting them decide, allowing them to make their own decisions, being comfortable in their choices and also feeling comfortable being uncomfortable because of their decisions. So purple hair today, Nose rings and belly piercings tomorrow #notreally
15.01.2022 A camping Holiday we definitely needed. We are with a group and friends so the kids are super happy and Ayden has his friend we brought up with us. Sonny is beyond dirty. But so so happy.
14.01.2022 * trigger * I’ll never forget where I was. I recall coming out to my mum in lounge room in her pink dressing gown with a cigarette in the mouth, tears down her cheeks. Something was wrong - I knew it. She got up quickly and turned the TV off. ... That day. Fourteen years old. I knew pure evil existed in our world. I couldn’t comprehend why someone would do this. That heavy feeling I felt. I’ll never forget, I’ll never forget watching people jump from the windows. People running with so much fear and the confusion of so many more. Not all hero’s wear capes. Most wear uniforms. Whilst the bravery of those who took the pledge to jump - I’ll never be that brave. 19 years ago - I hope the ones whose loved ones were murdered are waking up still each day. And feel loved. 9/11 taught me life is short. And unpredictable.
07.01.2022 She was born loud, demanding and made sure we all knew she was there. She’s now outgrown her delicious chub and has such a caring side to her. Still everything else she was born with but just extra funny and caring. I LOVE that her dads dimples are coming through the chubby cheeks as she’s grown.... She has zero resemblance of me - most of nana Trish features. Can’t believe she’s 5 next week! #indiefaithwatts honestly if you want some baby goodness see her old photos with that hashtag

02.01.2022 Almost 5; she’s definitely taken her time. For almost five years I wished time would hurry up with her - just to the age where she could explain to me what was happening. Why are you waking up? Where is your itchy spot? What did you eat that gave you that reaction?... Are you hurting? Where is the sores coming from? Why are you sad? Why can’t you sleep? Sounds awful doesn’t it? This little girl - my heart - who I love ridiculously is the same little girl that caused my anxiety. She was always so sore, crying and coming out in rashes. I was constantly worrying about her, checking on her, walking the hallway with her. My mind couldn’t stop and caused extreme anxiety. I thought I was going insane.
