As I enter my third trimester I have been reflecting on my approach to motherhood and the things I have learned or used as a guide during the last two years. They are certainly not rules, as admittedly I am not always consistent with following them but they have definitely helped me on my journey. 1. I don’t care about being judged. It’s sounds a little arrogant – especially when half the time I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. The reality is I was once one of those ...
An update on my home interior!
This week we had some new rugs arrive for our floors. It has been the most exciting thing to happen at our house in quite a while.

I had always associated pumpkins with Halloween but it seemed as though pumpkins were a popular decoration for autumn and celebrating harvest. I suppose because in Australia Halloween decorations always include pumpkins that ...
