And now the fun begins

Just a short note - Baby M is home!!! She was given the all clear and came home one sunny (slightly chilly) morning. And what a homecoming - she slept. She slept so much that I was able to make a quilt cover for Little Miss M (picture to follow in a different post).

Of course - overnight was a different story and I got to know Baby M very well in the wee hours of the morning!

I have to say, my little girl - Little Miss M - has been a real trooper through this whole experience. I'm sure she is going through an emotional roller coaster ride at the moment, but she is trying REALLY HARD to be a good girl and a great big sister. Even at her worst so far, Little Miss M is coping well.

I'm so proud of you, Little Miss M! I can't begin to imagine what is going on in that sweet mind of yours, but you're doing really well with all the changes. I couldn't ask any more from you.

Times are a-changin', aren't they? I am struggling to find a good balance between getting to know Baby M and ensuring Little Miss M is not missing out on anything (food, attention, clean underwear). I feel guilty enough thinking this, so please don't shoot me for writing this, but, as I struggle, I do miss the "three of us" family. It was just a lot easier. I remember having the luxury of giving Little Miss M all of my attention when she was just a newborn. And I feel like I'm missing out on Little Miss M at this glorious age. I know there will come a time that I can enjoy both of my girls equally (and with energy), but right now I feel like I am sacrificing one for the other. ** sigh **

Oh yes - and I'm stressing about not having a camera as it is currently out for a service. It's all about timing... I was supposed to have a few more weeks!!! So there is a distinct lack of photos at the moment.

Enough of that - I have my two girls with me now (and my Dear Husband) - and that is a blessing in itself. Welcome Home, Baby M!!!

Monkey See; Monkey Do

I was just monkeying around the kitchen... I had some dough leftover from baking dinner rolls and cinnamon buns (yeah - it was alot of dough!) and I had seen this idea from the Pioneer Woman previously. Cinnamon, butter, sugar and a dash of sweetened condensed milk - yes please!!! Ok, so maybe, just maybe, I accidentally on purpose put some dough aside just so I could indulge in this .... well, indulgence. And what an indulgence - worse still, an easy indulgence as I already had the dough. Caramelised cinnamon sugar with a bit of bread covered with sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I really need to say more. And, in honour of Father's Day, we had special "WE heart DADDY" pancakes... ok ok - I ran out of time, energy and ideas this year. (Note to self - try harder next year!) Don't mock the banana - at $12.99/kg this is a real treat. Unfortunately Daddy was too slow and Little Miss M took it and ate it. It might be Father's Da

Show some empathy

I'm a real killjoy when it comes to the Royal Melbourne Show. It's just not my cup of tea. I'm thinking it's been a couple of decades (nothing makes you feel older than this word, eh?), yep DECADES I'm sure, since I've been to the show. It's expensive and there's nowhere to sit in the shade and it's expensive and it smells and it's pretty expensive (have I already said that?) especially when the only thing I want to do there is ride on the dodgem cars. So, I'm the last person you would want with you at the show. I am an RMS scrooge. Well, this year Little Miss M is heading off to the show with her dad and her grandma. "Would you like to go to the show this year, love?" asks Dear Husband as he is purchasing the tickets online. "No thanks" I reply without missing a beat. And then I start muttering to myself about how expensive it is, and how I really don't like the show, and how they probably
