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]
Man of the Moment

To the Man of the Moment, My heart swells when I see you ‘dad’. I never get tired of watching you with our girls. I melted as your big, strong hands cradled our newborn’s dark head with “old hat” confidence and the way you soothed her gently with your deep lullaby. You have… [Continue Reading]
Dear C-Section Mom

Photo Credit: Katie Lacer Dear C-section Mom, I understand. I’ve been there. You are not alone. I hear you. I see you. You are not alone. You don’t have to tell me how hard it is. I know. I see your tears. I know the pain. And I understand. I know it’s hard… [Continue Reading]
Our Other Surprise(Part 2)

I had a feeling that this baby would come early. Somehow, although I had pleaded with the gynae to let me go into natural labour so that I didn’t have to choose my child’s birthday and so that I knew the baby was ready to come, I didn’t see us lasting until 39 weeks.… [Continue Reading]
Our Other Surprise(Part 1)

I’m sorry that I’ve been quiet lately. Things have been, well, busy! As many of you know, I wrote about our other surprise in the post It’s A…nother Surprise. I found out that I was pregnant with our second baby in August last year. And we were surprised that I was expecting again so soon! My… [Continue Reading]
#Experiment 31 – Catch Up!

Yes, ladies, I need a catch up week! I’ve realised some things I’ve forgotten to do. There are many things that I’m aware I’ve not done. Like this past week’s challenge…it’s been a bit of a fail! I haven’t made many changes to the things I’ve chosen to zone in on. Nor did I… [Continue Reading]
#Experiment 31 – Week 4

Well, I won’t lie, I’m glad to see the beginning of a new week! Are you? For the next two weeks, we’re going to focus on the most important person/people in our lives. If you’re married, it’s your husband. If you’re not, you know who that person is – a flatmate, roomie, parent or… [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!
