It was Lauren’s 2nd birthday on the weekend, so I drew a cake and shared it on Instagram to celebrate. And after receiving a few requests to turn it into a desktop wallpaper, I’m happy to say here it is in all it’s sugary glory! Side note: we also did other things to celebrate besides
This year marks my second as a mum, and while I feel much more comfortable in the role nowadays than I used to, it’s still the steepest learning curve I’ve ever been on. Each day is different; in fact, every 10 minutes is different, and while choosing this journey is the best thing I’ve ever
Even though it’s nearly winter here and the leaves have fallen from the trees, May still brings to mind flowers. Maybe it’s because Mother’s Day is around the corner? Or perhaps I’ve listened to one too many nursery rhymes about maypoles and posies (thanks Lauren). Either way I’ve had flowers on the brain big time,
With the temps having been so warm last month, I kind of forgot it was supposed to be autumn. And then BAM – this week the weather turned, and suddenly it really feels like April. For the record, chilly, wet and windy days are not usually my favourite. But it’s nice to finally be heading
Guess what? As you read this, we’ll be boarding a plane to Bali for our very first overseas trip as a family of three! I’m SO excited. Travelling with Lauren is something I’ve been wanting to do ever since she was born because there’s something truly magical about showing children new places. Especially a kid
I don’t know if I can blame mum-brain for this (surely I’m allowed to use that as an excuse for everything?) but I’ve been busily working away for MONTHS to add new phone cases to my Gocase store and I completely forgot to tell you guys about them! Which is a shame because having a
I drew this month’s heart-themed wallpaper not just because it’s almost Valentine’s Day (yay, another excuse to eat chocolate!), but also because it seems that the world could use a bit of extra TLC these days. Having these hearts on my screen is a gentle reminder that it doesn’t cost me anything to be kind,
“I know things have been very quiet around here lately” I feel like every post I’ve written over the past year seems to start with this sentence, so I thought it was high time I wrote an explanation as to where things are at, why I’ve been so silent and what that means for Make
Given I retired at 10pm and managed to miss both the kiddies’ and midnight fireworks, I think it’s safe to say this party girl is NOT me. But I used to love a good New Year’s Eve bash once upon a time (pre-Lauren). And I really hope to at least make it to the local
If there’s one thing I love about Christmas, it’s the warm, delicious fragrances that linger in the air as we bustle about preparing for the big day. Even though it’s the height of summer over here (I’m slurping down an Icy Pole as I type this), the smell of pine and mulled cider hit me
I know it’s been a loooong time since I made a freebie for you guys. It’s not that I don’t love you, I promise! I’ve just found that time has been getting away from me as we get closer to the silly season, and especially with a toddler in the house. In spite of this,
End. Of. The. Year. Is that crazy or what? Lauren just turned 18 months old, Christmas is around the corner, and once again I’m sitting here like a stunned mullet, blinking stupidly and wondering where the time went. While I don’t think I was ever going to be ready for my girl to grow out
