Accidental Magic
How cool would be to have the audience waiting on every move, trying to work out how you do it!
What an awesome party trick to be able to whip out at kids parties, or when all your friends are highly intoxicated and your the lone sober one, due to Breastfeeding, you could blow their minds with kick ass magic tricks!
Very very cool! thanks for sharing Lori!

The ultimate bike, can I have one mummy please!!!
This is the coolest, smartest, most awesome bike!
http://www.tagabikes.com/au/options.asp?lang=eng
I never knew I could be so in love with a bike! I want one now (said in a veruca salt voice)! I like the little trailers but they don't convert into a stroller...oh the awesomeness of it! Plus if I get to look like the chick in the gallery that will be a bonus! Its basically a bike which has a kids seat or 2 and can be converted into a stroller at a flick of the bike! Cool huh!
What a wonderful way to get fit, see the beautiful country we live in and help the environment!
I have been begging Geoff for one since I first laid eyes on it...but with them being over $2000 just for the bike and one seat... plus the 2nd seat at $330...or the very stylish and uber cool wooden seat for 2 at $700 +...he keeps saying NO, which is totally understandable as we would have to have 2!....no I dod totally understand why we cant have it, really I do :( But hey a girl can dream right!
So I will get one of these fabulous bikes...one day! :)

Will we have a girl?
That is the question which runs through my head if ever I think about being pregnant again. The thought of never having a daughter makes me feel so sad and inadequate. I LOVE my sons,but we may never have that mother daughter bond, I may never be the mother of the bride, I may never support my daughter in bringing a new life into this world...and there may never be a pink princess birthday party...well maybe if the boys want one :)
Feeling like this when Flynn was born was really hard, I loved him dearly but don't really remember those few weeks when he was tiny, I was in a bit of haze. I remember feeling like I had failed, all my friends had one of each, the ones who had boys first had a girl second the ones who had girls first had boys. And the pain I felt when people would ask me
"oh you are going to try for a girl"....or "2 boys wow you will be busy"....or my favourite" you don't want a girl they are soooo hard"
How could I feel like this when I had this perfect beautiful healthy little Boy in my arms....how could I be so selfish. I had known of women to go through this but never did I think it would be like this. The guilt I felt when the green eyed monster came out when visiting Friends with girls or the sinking feeling in my heart when I would see a beautiful dress and pretty shoes. Or when I think of how hard some friends had tried for their babies or who had never had babies, or babies who were ill...and I was sad that I had a healthy baby BOY?
You have no idea how it will feel till it happens to you. People say as long as the baby is healthy that's all that matters and if you think otherwise your selfish or ungrateful. So the guilt I felt and the embarrassment I had was eating away at me. Until I spoke up on a parenting forum I use and instantly felt better. The support I got and needed couldn't have come at a better time.
I look back to those first few weeks and feel regret and sadness that I didn't enjoy Flynn more...it wasn't that I didn't love him it was more I felt I had failed in creating this "perfect" little family.
I don't know how I will cope if the next baby is a boy, but at least I know I have the support and love from a group of amazing woman who I cant thank enough.
So for now I am loving every minute of having a house full of boys and I hope one day we will be painting a room pink for our daughter, who will be loved no more or no less than my 2 special little men.

The Ekka!
We adore the Ekka here! We go every year and have been going since I was a kid. This is a pic of my cousin and I one year on the chair-a-plane!
One thing I have never done at the Ekka is the haunted house or ghost train! I am such a wuss when it comes to stuff like that! I think it will be my mission to face my fear head on and do it this year!
Don't be surprised if you see me on TV screaming like a wild woman.....they petrify me!
My only hesitation is who will come with me? I need someone that will hold me while I cry and shake!
Other than the rides I love, love, love all the food, the people, the fun and the looks on kids faces when they spot that showbag they have had their eye on or when they are about to stuff their face with the yummiest strawberry ice creams! The dogs, the cakes, the meat pavillion and of course the fireworks :)
I only hope my kids enjoy it as much as i have and do!
Only 11 sleeps i think woohooo!

The Boss......
So here I was thinking I was being all cute and funny calling Geoff, my beloved husband, The Boss in my blog. Until he informs its stupid :(
So I know need a better name for him...I suggested Cpt fairy pants but that was a no, then pretty boy..nope...what about Bakerman...no very unoriginal darling?
So I still don't know what to call him...maybe I should call him TPW...The Purple Wiggle after Jeff...since they share the same name :P
Maybe it will just be Geoff or Beloved...or whatever the hell I feel like calling him :P
So ner ner Cpt fairy spakle farkle pants :)

Flynns naming day!
We held a beautiful naming day for our littlest man Flynn in April. It was shared with all our closet friends and family. We are so honoured to have 3 wonderful guardians for Flynn...Terri, Dom and Pete.
I decorated the outside are myself and arranged all the flowers...I think it looked pretty amazing :)We had a sit down lunch prepared by my family..food was amazing!!!!!!!!
Our day was photographed by my gorgeous and very talented friend Sara. I will share some of the beautiful photos she took......
The ceremony was conducted by our lovely amazing friend Doreen. It was perfect! All of the elements were included in the day...Fire, Earth( soil taken from our garden, my parents garden, a pot plant my Nana owned, and from my Dads parents original house), Water and Air. He was welcomed into the family through acknowledging all the elements and how we came to be. It was all done through love, and everyone who attended are our greatest loves.
One of the elements Water.
God parents or guardians reading.
Grandparents and Great grandparents reading.
Lighting the candle to start the ceremony.
Flynn and his brother Myles enjoying the rose petal shower.
My little man Flynn.Just as we were about to eat the storm clouds opened and the rain fell, it was quiet fitting really as at our wedding reception the same happened. the rain is a blessing to us all.
Doreen runs a Yoga school on the coast and is a celebrant I couldn't recommend her high enough

Just random musings :)
I love my kids so dam much! They light up my life everyday! Moo is the cheekiest monkey around and floobuckle is just so quiet and into his own world!
This morning when Geoff got home from work he got into bed to have his sleep and we all ended up just mucking around and tickling the kids and laughing really hard! It was wonderful to just be in the moment!
I think we forget to just be...we are always planning or worried about the future or worried about the past we forget about the now!
So I urge you to just be, and sit with your little one and enjoy this moment in time with them...you will NEVER get it back :)
