The Way Your Life Changes After Kids

© Can Stock Photo / koca777 The Way Your Life Changes After Kids Before I got married, people used to tell me (all the time) that “marriage was going to change everything”. Well I can tell you, for a fact, that marriage changed nothing with us. We lived in the same house we were in, […]

Lately… Isabelle turns 6 and other things…

Somehow another year has flown by and my (not so) little girl, my middle child, Isabelle is now SIX!

I mean, how has it been a whole year since her beauty & the beast/ Belle party!? Because I’d thrown her that big party last year, and because this time of year is always a busy time, I hadn’t originally planned to do a party for her this year, however somehow managed to wrangle one anyway!

We kept it pretty simple, 6 little friends, no theme this time, a basic cake and  DIY decorate your own waffles (because our waffle iron is still a bit of a novelty ‘round here.) It was a super hot day and we all had a lot of fun!

You might be able to guess from that last photo what the ‘other things’ mentioned in the post title is…. yes, we are having baby number 4! I’m now 20 weeks along with baby due April next year. We are all very excited – especially the kids!

DSC_0014DSC_0008

This little baby seems to be a very wiggly one! We had made the decision to find out gender this time (Pipi was a suprise but we found out with the oldest too), only to have our plans foiled by an unco-operative fetus! So, for now at least, the mystery remains!

I did however, manage to get the 3 babes on the outside to stay still and look at the camera for the announcement photo above (no mean feat!) So I call that a win!

… It did take a couple of shots though! ^

So that’s what’s new around here! I’m still sewing away and will probably back here soon enough to blog about another project, or Noah’s 8th birthday in a couple of weeks!

What is happening in your neck of the woods? Doing any Christmas crafting?

The First Birthday

The First Birthday   I have seen some pretty amazing first birthday parties out there. Especially online – WHOA! Honestly, I’m impressed! But at the same time I laugh, because that is so not me.

Are you a real woman or a super woman?

A few years ago my mum said to me “I still feel guilty about going to work when you guys were little” I am 42 years old! I was really surprised and had no idea that she felt that way.

Every Child Is Different – How Do You Cope?
