And then, the wind changed.

….Also, Mothers Day was pretty spesh.

I got two mothers days. We accidently half celebrated it last sunday, only to realise we had the day wrong. This is what happens when you barely watch television and miss all the advertising.

My darlings got me a onesie! Ha! 3 girls, 3 onesies photo coming as soon as Eva comes home on Wednesday. It’s perfect, snuggly, and buttons all down the front, so I can breast feed at night but keep my back warm! Perfection.

Eva went home to her Dad’s this arvo, so Alex and I got comfy and watched the last 3 episodes of Battlestar Gallactica. I cried like a fracking baby! 

We ate Peanut Butter Chocolate, and had Roast Chicken and veges for tea.

It was spec-fucking-tacular!

My newly formed ‘other’ tumblr page.

A place for me to be not-a-mum. Just a person, who likes to chill, write and post pictures of vanity, inspiration, and anything else I like that I have hovering around in my millions of pictures saved on my computer.

Also, I’m trying to get back into music. Starting this weekend! My friend and I are going try some electro pop. See how we go. If I’m writing music again, I need to get back in the swing of writing just for the hell of it again. Flex those muscles, get those creative juices flowing.

Alex and I had a chat tonight about my need for creative release. I’ve been a ball of tension and anger lately. It’s because I need to be creative (we creative types can be such assholes when we need our fix, can’t we?). I haven’t done anything remotely artsy since the baby has come along. 

So in the spirit of not being a total ass to my lover. I’m going to make sure I get that time. Even if it is just writing and messing around on my other non-mum tumblr.

Question: The baby poops, and you’re in the middle of something so you can’t immediately deal with the sitch. Then, the baby falls asleep before you’ve had a chance to change them.

What do you do? Wake them? Or let them sleep in the poopy nappy?

Family. 

If you’re a Mama and you love Sesame Street, you’ll totally know this song.

It’s always good to have a deck of cards handy. Never underestimate the unifying power that a game of cards can have. Plus, if there’s an apocalypse there will obviously be no electricity, a deck of cards will most likely be the best portable morale boosting fun to have. 

Also, don’t forget to learn to play some good card games. Your family was built on playing cards.

Love,

-Mum. 

I’ve had an epiphany.

I’ve just realised what I want this space to be. 

When I die, this space will be part of what I leave behind. I’m pretty sure as the world grows and changes, these footprints that we leave here on the web will remain.  My daughters may read this in years to come (I hope). This is a place for me to share who I am with the world. 

This may not be news to many of you out there, but it kinda just hit me now.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, the nature of this space may change. If this is place for my daughters to come in the future, and a way to leave my mark (however minuscule) on the world. I’d like this space to be something that I really would like to leave behind as a reflection of who I am.

I think I’ve already been doing that - showing you who I am. I would like to show more, express more, show more pictures of my life, leave recipes behind for my kids, give…more. 

Does that make sense? It does to me. Lots of sense. 

Let the games begin.

The olds. Lookin’ fly after 8 kids and 4 grandbabies.

I’ve tried to write how I feel about them, but nothing I type does them justice.

I’ll leave it at : I love them.

Back in the day when things were cool…

…and my boobs were still perky.

Rockin’ winter wooliez like a damn pro.

Haha! She looks like she should have dreads, be drinking a soy chai tea and have some incense burning.

Pii and her newest cousin, Maya. You can call them David und Goliath.

Pii is my twin, she looks just like me when I was a babe. Right down to the very last expression. 

Delicious!

Lack of posting due to awesome holiday - will resume posts upon return to housewifely duties and lack of life. 

Regards

Kahu and crew. 

Happy Easter! Best chill day ever!

Today my brother became a father for the first time! I can’t wait to meet our newest little princess. That takes our families grandbaby count to 4! 4 beautiful girls.
