So, ladies, in all seriousness, here are some things I wish I could tell other mothers to make their first time experience that much easier! Choose your people Eish! This one is hard. This has caused me to… [Continue Reading]
A Hairy Maclary Party

When my one-and-a-half year-old opened a box set of Hairy Maclary at Christmas, I had every intention to put them away for when she was older. Words such as “footle” and “bumptious” were no more likely to be in her storehouse of words than they were to be in mine. I had to summon… [Continue Reading]
I’ve Judged You

I’ve judged you. Yes, you! When I saw you in the shopping centre, when I was scrolling through my Instagram feed or when I met you. When I see you every week, when I invite you over or when I go to your house. You are not exempt. I might know you. I… [Continue Reading]
Two Years of You!

730 days – you have blessed the lives of more than you know. 2 years ago Daddy and I were supposed to be going to a baby shower and a wedding. It was a full weekend! But, it became a busy weekend for a different reason. You arrived! We weren’t expecting you for another… [Continue Reading]
Good, Clean Sex

“Sex is good!” were the first words out of the lady’s mouth at a Christian school. Boys hooted and applauded at the back. I was reeling! Did I hear right?? I began to question the judgement of the staff who called in this speaker and wondered whether they were cringing in their seats at… [Continue Reading]
Chores For Children

Chores. It’s probably a word we all have some degree of dislike for. A word that probably tainted a part of your day in childhood – unless your parents made it super interesting. It’s certainly a word that leaves a sour taste in my mouth as an adult! But, here’s a little story… … [Continue Reading]
The Wee, Small Hours

“In the wee, small hours of the morning when the whole, wide world is fast asleep…” The first words of this song (not the rest of it) come to mind as I think about the early hours of the morning when it’s just me wrapped up in a fluffy dressing gown with a hot… [Continue Reading]
Helping a New Mom

There’s nothing like a newborn! That soft head of hair peeking out of a receiving blanket. The peaceful breathing through parted heart-shaped lips. The smell we all know and love – the one we all associate with a brand new baby. The soft breath on you neck when you cuddle the warm bundle. The… [Continue Reading]
The Ugly Truth

Motherhood, being a mommy was my second life goal from my earliest memory of buying disposables for my dolls. (Marriage was my first, in case you’re wondering.) Much to my secret shame at the time, I played with dolls into high school, hiding them in an outside room so my friends didn’t know. I… [Continue Reading]
It’s A Crazy Life

I think that just about sums it up! It’s a crazy, crazy life! Where to start?!? Well, firstly I’ll make the excuse that because my life has been that crazy, I haven’t written a blog post! Here is why… If life wasn’t busy enough with a toddler under two, add a baby to the mix.… [Continue Reading]

The Face Under the Hats

Glad you’re here! I’m Kate. I am not super woman (although I'd like to be!) nor am I a Pinterest-perfect queen with a creative eye, who has cute printables and an immaculate home! I’m just a regular woman nearing 30 who loves to write. You'll find my messy and honest thoughts on the expectations that drown us as woman to multi-task - be a wife, mom, friend, mentor, and house keeper! And, aiming to do it all well and not just fall over the finish line in pure exhaustion at the end of the day is enough to put anyone in a mad house! So this is just a bit of how I try (and fail regularly!) to wear all the hats!
