Catching Up...
Hello!
I'm still alive!
It will be a jumbled catch up post and will last as long as the bubs are both asleep. (Can you believe I got them both to sleep at the same time? First time since Leon was born and he is nearly 8 weeks. Still hope for me!)
Well, it has been crazy. Fun, chaotic, stressful, emotional, frustrating, busy, amazing. At times I feel like all I do is clean-up after, run-after, feed, and do it all over again and that that is all my life has become. I keep telling myself that it will get easier. I keep telling myself it's not forever. Other times I wouldn't have it any other way and feel lucky to have a girl and a boy whom are beautiful and healthy and make my heart sing and I keep telling them not to grow too quick!
Amongst the chaos I have:
Seen The Black Crowes live. (Amazing band but didnt play any songs I knew and dragged out the songs they did play for 10 minutes...)
Saw Brick Lane. (Beautiful film, as is the novel.)
Did a few makeup jobs (some 4+ hours - boy did my breastmilk leak!)
Visited 3 new babies (Owen, Hardi and Gisele)
Spent half a day at Aurora Day Spa (thanks Pete!) twas lovely - although it's the kind of place where you feel like you need to have a pedicure before you go...
Tried to finish decorating Mahlie and Leon's bedroom but it's still a functional WIP
Got frustrated about having no time for Twiglet (or any craft/sewing at all) and have since found a way to keep it going. Mahlie is now in childcare once a week and also goes to Pete's parents house for the day every second Tuesday. Pete is also going to car pool to work once a week with another hairdresser so I get the car one extra day a week. Woohoo! So fingers crossed I might get out to the studio finally! To celebrate I am doing a giveaway and a May Sale. I will post again in a few days with giveaway details!
Some catch up pics of the babas and around the house...
Ooooh - and did you get your copy of Mixtape? Did you see mine and Nichola's bumps? Heehee! Sooo glad to be back in normal clothes again...
Mahlie and Leon are gorgeous! And I love that bright red wall.
You are right, it will definitely get easier - and you have accomplished so much already!

Oh I had that white bedhead...although I think I covered mine with ugly stickers. Now Ive got that book for you if you still are after it?? send me your postal address and Ill stick it in the mail.
Did I look like a stalky freak when I saw you?? most likely. I think one of my hidden talents is spotting people, most of the time I think I know them but they end up being some bgrade actor from ads!!

Hi Dana! Hope you're feeling well. Beautiful photos and they are just the sweetest pair of babies I have seen in ages. Cute dimple on Leon. I got a freebie to Aurora Day Spa so thanks for the tip on the pedicure...
