Something in me changed when I popped her into the mini Wonder Woman suit. A mini Wonder Woman suit. Stop. It. Just look at this. … Read more
I went to see my obstetrician for my six week postpartum check-up. I’ll save you the nitty-gritty but all’s well down there and I’m free to go and live my life. But I’m so incredibly sad about it. I remember growing up and thinking (in a 1950s housewife kind of way) that if I was … Read more
Millie is 1. My baby. Grown up. A big toddler. I no longer have to tell people her age in months. Millie the birthday girl The husbando and I have had a year to get used to this parenting caper. A year as someone’s mummy and daddy. I’m a little sad. It’s been the BEST … Read more
It seems we have a tiny thrillseeker on our hands. Confronted with a life-size, ferocious, roaring, chomping T-Rex, Millie, 2, was exhilarated. Not scared. Not even dubious. Not one bit.

Begin at the beginning, and go on till you paint the roses red… We love our adventures in Melbourne because there’s so much to do.
