the five p’s…

prior planning prevents poor performance….yep it sure does. so over the past week I have let the stock of available healthy food dwindle and my daily diet has consisted of toast with either vegemite (okay) or lemon curd (pure sugar), leftover chocolate cake from scott’s birthday lunch, cadbury’s and tea – tetley’s, peppermint and raspberry leaf…not […]

random ramblings….

lack of sleep in the past 24 hours has scrambled my brain so I now have a mish mash of thoughts I want to put on barrybadger but stringing them together into some sort of reader friendly order may be a little tough… back when I was pregnant and visiting willy wonka on a fortnightly […]

key learnings so far…

alrighty then…so it’s three weeks into our parenthood journey and we have already experienced some key learnings that the google didn’t warn us about. the press studs on baby clothing are very strong and difficult to fasten and undo, not to mention that when you have your screaming newborn on the change table she wont […]

three weeks in…

one week on…

so last time I posted here I was preparing for the following day to give birth to our daughter via caesarean section. I will post on the events of the big day and the days since in coming posts but for now I just wanted to say we are home. willy wonka and his trusty […]

i’m sexy and I know it…..

this past weekend my energy levels have seen more highs and lows than charlie sheen…big call I know but how else to explain that one minute I am cruising around the games room, tracky daks low slung under the bump, singlet pulled up to expose the bump while I shake my substantial bootie to LMFAO I’m […]

gettin my nigella on….

yesterday I baked cookies…and they were good to. I actually followed the recipe, something I never do. I am a pinch of this dash of that mmmm what else can I put in there kind of cook. no masterchef by any chance just learned from one of the best how to make a meal out […]
