I haven’t done a thing

Many a day retro daddy comes home from work and I tell him I haven’t done a thing all day, nothing……and with a new baby feeding on you 24/7 that is pretty easy to say. But as the week draws to a close I realise that we put up a tree… OK, I put up […]

mathilda’s market preparations

Preparing for Mathildas this sunday is yet another occasion where I shake my head and say why do I do this to myself with a new bub. Normally, I’d be sewing and keeping busy in my craft room (aka making a huge mess)………kind of hard  to do when you’re either feeding, settling or walking around […]
