On Being A Chicken-Shit Scaredy Cat

Posted on February 25, 2014 by exmi

I don’t know when it happened. This whole me-being-a-scaredy-cat thing. It seems to have gradually snuck up on me. I’m not fearless and I really don’t like being scared. I can’t watch scary movies. It’s not fun. I don’t dig … Continue reading →

I remember a life before our Toffee. It involved uninterrupted nights of sleep. It was free from nappies and spit cloths and I didn’t have to break my arms lugging around a car seat with a chubby baby in it. … Continue reading →

Two weeks of holiday have passed. It’s been a blissful blur of family, noise, cooking, food, kids, sunshine, laziness, garden, rain, movies, games, boys, love, laughter, happiness, swimming and togetherness. Two and a half weeks of holiday remain. Before it’s … Continue reading →

It’s A Post About A Toffee

Posted on October 25, 2013 by exmi

This blue cardigan was worn by his father 30-ish years ago. It was worn by his brother, 5 years ago. It’s not a hand-me-down, it’s an heirloom. The Toffee is getting cuter by the day. Five months and a day … Continue reading →

Making It Home

Posted on October 24, 2013 by exmi

A Ranty Post. Dear @Clicks_SA. You Made Me Sad.

Posted on October 15, 2013 by exmi

Let me preface this post by saying: I love the Clicks clinics. I’ve come to expect great service at the Edenmeadows branch for baby wellness and immunisations. Unfortunately this time around, Edenmeadows didn’t have stock of the government-subsidised vaccinations, so … Continue reading →
