Day 2 of My Month of Gratitude

Day 2 is simple! Husband My Children I am so so lucky and "blessed" to have my children. I have four children. I have had seven pregnancies. It took three pregnancies to successfully get my second child. Secondary infertility is a big thing, that people don't know much about. They get pregnant really easily on … Continue reading Day 2 of My Month of Gratitude

1st Day of My Month of Gratitude

1st of March, here we are. The first day of My Month of Gratitude! Actually the first thing to put down is actually the hardest for me, because of the way my head works and being over-diplomatic in every single situation, I wonder how would it be taken. I normally roll my husband and children … Continue reading 1st Day of My Month of Gratitude

Little Quirks

We all have funny little quirks about us, which we may like or not like. What I am finding lovely is seeing some of these in my kids, because I passed them straight to them. Physical ones. My thumbs bend back a bit, unlike my mums thumb which is beautiful and straight and looks so … Continue reading Little Quirks

My Body is Complaining

Back on track yesterday. Got my little walk up to the preschool in during the afternoon, and then forced myself to go out on the treadmill last night. I've noticed that my heart rate isn't going up much with my walking on the treadmill at the speed I'm doing, but my shins and knees start … Continue reading My Body is Complaining

March – My Month of Gratitude!

I love gratitude, and giving thanks for all that we have, but as with everything I have great intentions and very little follow through. I have bought gratitude journals, diaries, tried starting a tradition of writing what we are grateful/thankful for with the kids every night, so many different ways I have tried to incorporate … Continue reading March – My Month of Gratitude!

Fell off the wagon last week, again

So, I was doing great last week. Monday and Tuesday were great days, foodwise and exercise. Wednesday started the birthday celebrations for my daughter, with my mum bringing cake and goodies but still I managed to just have a small bit of cake, and stay within calories. Thursday started the birthday party prep, and was … Continue reading Fell off the wagon last week, again

Stuff Everywhere…

I just don't know what to do with it. There seems to be piles of stuff everywhere. When I clean/clear one area, the mess is just moved elsewhere. We've just had a weekend (almost week lol) of celebrating for Little Miss Biz's 5th birthday. We had a little party with her friends here on Friday … Continue reading Stuff Everywhere…

Joined Instagram

I have been on Facebook for years, but I kind of put my foot down and said no that's too addictive as it is, I'm not joining other social medias. So no Twitter, no Instagram. Then a few months ago, my sister-in-law was telling me how great this cleaning woman was on Instagram, so I … Continue reading Joined Instagram

Don’t you just feel helpless

Poor babies and all they go through. Last night we had a very bad time with our little one. She's 1 year old now, and the past week has been teething badly, drooling galloons of spit everywhere. And the night before last she was up in the middle of the night upset, so last night … Continue reading Don’t you just feel helpless

Back on Track, Day 1

Yesterday was my kick-up-the-ass day when I checked my weight and was up 4lbs since last Wednesday, 5 days. I had had a terrible week food and exercise wise, and that weight gain gave me the kick. Yesterday I was getting back on track. So my food was great, I made better choices. I did … Continue reading Back on Track, Day 1
