School holidays


It’s day 18 of what can only be described as a hostage situation…. Also known as “school holidays”.

Day 1: This is wonderful! Almost a whole month with my two kids under 3.

Day 2: Ok so the house has been destroyed by mini versions of myself but it’s ok, I’ll do a clean up twice a day.

Day 3: TV time rules are now out the window.

Day 4: Give out a few Christmas gifts early in exchange for 5 minutes of silence.

Day 5: What the hell is that smell? Oh wait, that’s me….

Day 6: What day is it? Can I have a nap please.

Day 7: Check in with fellow moms, I am not alone, everyone’s over the holidays now….

Day 8: I now understand why my mom used to send me to my aunts for school holidays.

Day 9:  Christmas Eve, try to go for a last minute shop before Christmas Day…. Buy each kiddo another toy to avoid shop meltdown.

Day 10:  Christmas Day, granny exhausted kids, Granny for the win!

Day 11: Toys EVERYWHERE

Day 12: Cake for breakfast?

Day 13: I’ve forgotten what it’s like to go to the toilet alone.

Day 14: Again, what is that smell, again it’s me. When last did I wash my hair?

Day 15: Spent half the day doing a big clean, undone in seconds by 2 tiny tornados.

Day 16: What day, month, year is it now?

Day 17: who has this much energy at 5am? Toddlers apparently.

Day 18: Screw it, let’s watch Despicable Me and the Minions movies on repeat in bed.

Beauty on a budget tip.....

Coconut oil! Uses : - Body moisturizer - Add sugar = luxurious body scrub - Pour straight into bath (time saving tip here too, as you won't need to spend time moisturizing after your bath.) - Great for your hair, leave in over night and wash out the next day. - Can be used for cooking - If your significant other is acting up, throw the tub at him. (This one's a joke, don't do this....) - Helps with stretch marks. Really there's so much that you can do with coconut oil. And the great news is, it's not expensive and a 1 litre container lasts me about a year.

Tips for First Time Moms....

******UPDATES IN PINK****** Labour pain : feels like the worst period pain you've ever had, lasts a while then goes away, comes back for a while goes away. Start timing the duration of the pain experienced and the time between when there's no pain. Water Breaking : Literally feels like a "pop", then instant release of pressure, followed by TONS of liquid, sit on the toilet and once you're ready to go to the hospital put a thick sanitary pad in your underwear. After birth : bath with salt in the water, it will burn but it will help the healing process. Also in case you don't already know, you'll continue bleeding for at least a month after birth. So stock up on pads. Don't  worry about stocking up on size1,2 & 3 diapers, you'll quickly move to size 4 and then 5, stock up on size 5.... believe me. Breastfeeding : I could only breastfeed both of my kids for 5 days. There's absolutely no shame in not being able to breastfeed. Some of us can...
