Mom With Babe

Photo taken by Angel. From The Kid’s Birthday Party this Saturday.

Thursday Challenge

A Thursday photo meme, found here.The theme for this week is ‘SOFT‘.
Here’s my interpretation of it.
This picture was taken in May this year. The Kid would have been six months old. In the mornings, he’d wake up, I’d bring him back to bed with me, feed him a bottle, and he’d fall asleep and I’d [...]

Here’s A Picture For You

Have been cooking and baking all evening. For The Kid’s party. Trying to lessen the work on the actual day. So I’m exhausted. Just wanted to share a NaBloPoMo picture with you. Because I have to. 6 more days until it’s over!

This picture was taken at Jackson’s 2nd birthday party. There’s more over on my [...]

I Wish….

I’d kept a pregnancy journal. But there was so much going on while I was pregnant – writing thesis, writing exams, buying house and moving and preparing for baby – that I just kinda let it fall by the way side. Plus, I didn’t think my regular readers on my blog at that time would [...]

How quickly you forget the newborn sleepless nights, the waking up three or four times to feed. The nights spent lying on the couch, breastfeeding and clock-watching. The colic that seemed endless.
When people around [...]

I Love

….watching The Kid eat.
It’s a completely new experience for him, and he enjoys every second of it. He squelches food in his hands, mashes it onto his feeding tray and experiences every different texture.
He has not yet learnt about manners, and how to eat with his mouth closed, so when he eats, he focuses completely [...]

Smiley Saturday

The Saturday Smile:
A day to share about smiling. It may be a post about things that made you smile, something you did to make someone else smile, or a joke, video, photo or post that makes your readers smile. As long as it relates to smiling, it qualifies for Smiley Saturday!
My smile for the day?

The Real Mom Meme

I found this over at Nine Months For Life, and I think the point is to get the meme to mutate.
I posted this a while ago, but because I think it’s such a success, and can be sooo much fun if the list of ‘real mom’ moments gets really really long, I’m posting it again, [...]
