Just Being a Mum

Dinner Time!

I really really dislike dinner time in my house, dinner time for the children that is. I really don’t know what else to do.

Here is the story, dinner time comes, I have all these plans for what I am going to make the children. I always said that I would not make two meals, one for them, and one for us, but they eat to early and my husband is not home yet, so I wait and eat with him.

I will always sit with the children while they are eating, or should I say not eating their dinner.  I ask the Little Man what he would like for his

Toddlers

Little Man is doing really well now, and has managed to make it past the terrible twos/threes stage and is slowly making it over the top to the hill.

Little Miss is a totally different story, I never realised how different boys and girls really are until you have one of each.

Little Miss was a very plasid and gentle baby, she would sleep really well and just goo and gaa like a good little baby, we really thought that she was going to be such a little gem. Well didn’t that change as she has grown up a bit, she is a bit of a monster child. Lucky she is cute!.

First Day at Pre-School

The Little Man started pre-school last week, wow that was a very interesting experience for all involved.

I left little miss with Nana & Pop so that I could concentrate on the little man and his big day. I don’t know though I think that it was a bigger day for me than for him.

He was so excited to go, he was saying in the car on the way there, “I am excited about going to school today”, I was excited for him, and I thought that I was ok with it all. UNTIL it was time to say goodbye, he just waved with this big smile on

Oh no we have no internet connection in our new house for a couple of weeks. Not sure how I am going to survive, I will miss you all, and I hope that you will all miss me.

I can’t believe that it takes the phone companies that long to organise the connection.

I will try and post when I can get internet to let you know how we are going and what we are all up to.

Some of My Favourite Pictures of 2009

Well I did say that I would attempt to do a year in review for 2009, well I decided that I would put together a few of my favourite pictures of 2009.  So lets start at the beginning as that is usually a good place to start.

My Birthday in February, Happy Birthday Mummy!

This one was taken in March 09 - Makes me laugh every time I look at it.

Little Miss at her WOW (Welcome to Our World) party, like a christening.

In June the Little Man held a real Diamond Python, he loved it.

2009 - Picture Review

A Christmas Gift

My wonderful Mum made this picture for me for Christmas. She loves to create different things with her machine embroidery, and she has so kindly created this wonderful picture for me to put on my desk.

She has taken the idea from the picture from the main page of my blog, the little Man and Little Miss flying the kite.

It is a great idea, and it looks great on my desk. Thanks Mum!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you all, a thought that I had on New Years Day was bring on 2010, I am ready for you!

After the last few months of 2009 I think that I am ready for anything. Lets hope that 2010 is a good year to us all. I decided against New Years Resolutions as I never get around to doing them, I have a New Years list from about 6 years ago and I still haven’t done several things on that, so what is the point.

I think that it does make you think about things that you would like to do, so instead you could just

DVD Player on Stroller & TV watching

While it might might make people look at you and your new child, it may be trendy and new, but do you think that it is right?, Sorry but I think that putting a DVD player on your stroller is just wrong. What do you think?

I was walking around the shopping center the other day and I saw a stroller with a DVD player attached to it, with a Pooh DVD playing. The child in the stroller would have only been about 6-7months old.  Does a 6-7 month old child really need to be watching TV or DVD? I really don’t think so.

Firstly a

Getting to Know Me!

I was tagged for a Christmas Getting to Know You Meme. How exciting to be tagged!
The wonderful Richele at Under the Golden Apple Tree tagged me.  You should visit her blog!
So here we go, here are my answers to the Christmas questions.
1.) Have you started your Christmas shopping? Nope not a thing, have got some ideas but that is it really.

2.) Tell me about one of your special traditions. We have a Christmas fairy that hands out all the presents from under the tree, we usually choose the person on Christmas eve, they even get a wand to hold while handing out the presents.

3.) When

My Breast Feeding Story and Opinions

I have had a couple of my friends in the last little while have children, they have asked me about breast feeding, and what I did. So I thought that I might as well share it with you all, I know that not all will agree.

If you read my post about Our Story, you will know that I tried very hard to breast feed the little man.

I was reading an article in a newspaper the other day and realized how many women have the same problem and the same feelings of guilt. BUT what amazed me the most is the response to those who didn’t
