{this moment} – A Friday ritual from Soule Mama, one of my favorite bloggers. A single photo (or two) – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you’re inspired to do the same, leave a link to your “moment” in the comments for all to find and see.

I'm Ba-ack
Goodness its been a long time, so much for trying to get to the blog once a week huh?
But thats how I am I get really into things and become almost obsessive with them and then something else gets my interest and I move on. I do think however I will keep revisiting this blog as I have enjoyed it especially when I get into one of my ranty moods.
I guess any who read this (I don’t think there is that many) would prob be waiting for some updates considering the somber news in my previous posts. So the news is good. Big Daddy got really sick with a shocking strain of flu shortly after his first round of ‘inconclusive’ tests so his second round of tests where delayed. Then they got delayed because he was feeling better and the lumps had gone down, because Big Daddy is a very typical man in a lot of ways, this inherently told him he was fine and there was no need to worry. After several weeks of myself and family and friends stressing, and nagging him with worst case scenarios he finally caved and did his tests and the results came back all clear. Cue smug chest beating, rooster strutting and ‘told ya’. But you know what I’ll let him have that one coz I think he was secretly avoiding the results because he was scared and who wouldn’t be?
As for the kids, well what can I say, they’re kids. Chunky Monkey still likes to tease us by doing a night or two of only one waking and spending most of the night in his own bed and then going back to two hourly feedings and refusing to sleep unless he’s on MY pillow and wedged under my back so that I am unable to shift or roll until he decides to do his next feed. We’ve also started using cloth nappies (diapers for my overseas followers). The addictive nature of buying and selling and washing and discussing this parenting choice is phenomenal, I mean they’re nappies, the get pooed on for petes sake. I am in awe of the different colours, patterns, prices, you can even get them custom made and it is 100% addictive. In fact its what has kept from blogging because I’ve been researching and testing washing methods and fits etc. I’ve even considered having a crack at making some myself. Borrowed mums sewing machine and all. Only problem is the last time I used one was 12 years ago and I wasn’t particularly good at it then lol so we’ll see how that goes.
On the upside there’s alot more space in our bins and our grocery budget which is nice and I get to feel like I’m doing something positive for the environment. I guess its one step closer to me being a ‘crunchy’ mum or doing the ‘attachment parenting thing’. Note: I do not aim to subscribe to any particular parenting style, in fact I find the whole concept of labelling and pigeon holing people by their parenting choices a little ridiculous.
Any way thats probably enough random rambling from me today, time to get back to work on some posts that I started ages ago that are hopefully much more interesting.
