bloggers block and baby brain…

isn’t baby brain meant to hit during the pregnancy? I know alot of the stuff I should be remembering is only due to my poor listening skills right now…I can’t listen to a conversation, check facebook and make sure my daughter is still breathing all at once so unfortunately the conversation loses out to the […]

hilarity and halitosis….

how is it that people with stink breath don’t smell it? or, if they have friends, dont at least know about it. the same goes for body odour…how do you not smell your pits and know that you stink? i know, another high brow topic from me but seriously last night my besty and I went […]

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…

today our baby girl hit the ripe age of three weeks…and I am ever hopeful that next week when we take her to her next weigh in she has put on some more grams. it seems that everything that has gone in over the past three weeks has very quickly changed colour and come straight […]

should they stay, or should they go….

when I met my husband I was working in sales at a health club, living on my own and working out every morning and every evening after work. I lived on a diet that went oats and egg whites, chicken and sweet potato, tuna and rice, chicken and green vege, white fish and steamed green vege […]

where is serving suggestion when you need it…

well so far – and lets face it three weeks in is as good a measure as any – I suck at this stay at home mum gig…I do plan to improve but figuring out where to start is a little perplexing. so I have enlisted the help of my parentals – a bit naughty […]

let the games begin…

scotty has returned to work this morning so that leaves me at home with kenzi and Mr Rooben, neither of which say much so barrybadger will probably cop a hammering of posts over the next few days as I attempt to communicate. the past two weeks have been interesting and I have learnt quite a […]

what a swell party it was…

so it seems like a lifetime ago that I was having a shower in the special antiseptic “body wash” prior to being admitted to hospital for the birth of our daughter…certainly not the way I had hoped this day would play out but in a few short hours we would be introduced to the person […]
