Today is one of those rare days. Perfect in how carefree it was, perfect as only the storm that surprised us at the beach can turn out to be the rain that the sand at our sandpit needed to be moulded into what we will of it, can be. Rarely

These here, are those that I’ve managed to immortalise. *beams* I say to Augz that he will get to remember many father-and-son moments because I try to capture as much as I can… whereas I hardly have

Rather, we should just purchase what
Read MoreNesting instincts definitely kicked in a week or two ago. We’ve managed to get almost everything sorted out and what remains are things that I would prefer not to do this early – like sterilising bottles, etc. I hope we haven’t left anything out. Physically, I can’t wait for Emma

Matthew was fine in the care of our new helper – all he did was look forlornly at me as I bade him goodbye (in a somewhat upbeat manner to mask the anxiety I was

It’s just me and Matthew today, the whole day for 14 hours, from 7am to 9pm. Our helper has gone home, and Augz went back to work after a day off yesterday to settle our house reno. Thank God
