Working and Feeding
Date posted: September 8, 2010Posted in: Baby
 

So as per my post yesterday I am still running through a few organisation tips regarding being a working mother.  It really involves just that next level of organisation as you are out for a portion of the day.

Feeding whilst you are working creates a whole new challenge- especially with a small baby as they often don’t feed to an exact schedule. Getting a store together is the freezer in the key for me to staying on top of feeding and supply. I use an electric pump whilst I am away for a feed and also I pump an extra feed every night which is about 120mls. With this extra feed I am currently freezing this for a trip I have to take next month. The rest I am donating to our local milk back starting next week- just a small way to give back.

Tips for working mums
Date posted: September 7, 2010Posted in: Family
 

Well tips for all mums really as you can adapt them to all parts of your everyday life : ) I get a lots of questions about my work/ what I do  and how I stay organised etc. I haven’t really replied to these as yet as I wanted to compile it all into a few posts over a week like I am doing now : )

Firstly the most commonly asked question is what do I do? Well without saying exactly what I do for obvious privacy reasons I will give you all a brief run down. I work as an Account Manager for a company looking after their business customers. By look after them I email through price lists and specials, help them with their ranging of products, lend out demonstration machines, provide POS and training for the staff when necessary. Basically be their point of call for the business as needed.

There is a lot of this going on at the moment, here are a few of my recent POTD (Picture of the day)

This little guy is getting to that clingy stage- the you cannot put me down stage. And if you do I am going to scream….especially if I cannot see my mummy.  And yes I know I am the meanest mother in the world taking a photo of my baby crying but you know what, it is real life. That is part of our day sometimes and part of project life for is about captures the real life, the everyday stuff both the good and the bad.

I just thought I would share this quick snack I put together last weekend. We had some left over pesto after the yummy chicken pasta we had made and so when I saw this recipe in I think it was the latest Donna Hay magazine.

It is pesto and prosciutto pin wheels : )

15 Weeks
Date posted: September 1, 2010Posted in: Family
 

Just a mere 15 weeks ago Oliver Harrison Conran entered this world and changed my life forever.

I wondered if I would have enough love, enough mothering, enough everything to service both the emotional and physical needs of another child. I doubted that I would have the ability to offer him the same childhood as I did Flynn. You wonder if you will feel the same when you have another baby and if the wonder and amazement and miracle of having a baby will be the same or if the sheen fades the second time around.

Getting in some extra fruit.
Date posted: Posted in: Recipes
 

I am always on the lookout for ways to get in just that extra bit of fruit into Flynn’s diet. Although he eats very well for a toddler he has his moments like all children do. And so I like to think of ways just to slip a few sneaky ones in there.

So on the weekend I made a slight alteration to the normal Sunday pancakes and added a pear twist ; ) They were super yummy sliced thinly and just added to the pancakes while they were cooking on the other side. Then flip and cook as usual.

Warmer

We have been super busy around home the last few weeks with lots of different things to plan and on the go.  With Flynn having both Kindy and daycare now there is not a lot of free time to do extra crafts etc but Flynn is bringing home SO much stuff from Kindy it is insane trying to keep up with it all- more on storing kids crafts from schools soon : )

And some photos that show it is getting warmer around here and we are loving it : )

A simple recipe
Date posted: August 30, 2010Posted in: Recipes
 

So with spring on it’s way I thought I would re post this ice cream sandwich recipe.  I had it up on the blog nearly 12 months ago but with all of our wonderful new readers I thought this was one worth revisiting.

Ice cream sandwiches are simple and easy to make and once I got this recipe from a girlfriend years ago I have been making them regularly ever since.
