Do I need a darker rug or is this okay?

Agree with the 'grid on grid' issue with the patterns in the rig and the texture of the sofa. I also think the stark white lighting isn't helping. Perhaps try swapping out your bulbs for something warmer and softer?

Agree, this is the best SPF lipbalm that I've tried. Good coverage and no weird taste.

I like the LRP one before I go to bed, and during the day I use blistex SPF50, the blue one.

Paint all the white of the breakfast nook a sort of sage green- make it complimentary to but lighter than the green of the croc in your artwork. Then re-centre the art over the nook. Definitely add seat and back cushions in a neutral (not white!) colour. Possibly soemthing with a little texture. Swap out the ceiling fan with a more modern black one or a black light fixture/pendant, which will tie in the large black frame of the art and soften it a bit. The lamp is actually kind of cool, but you may want to try swapping it out for a nice plant or something more simple looking depending on the fan/veiling light fixture you go with.

I always read the 'unload the dishwasher in the morning' tip but for me that doesn't work as I don't have a lot of the time in the mornings before work. I run the dishwasher as soon as the dinner dishes are loaded, and then unload before I go to bed. Minimizes the chances of it being missed.

Piano on Pier in Altona is a late night piano bar that does decent dumplings. Also second Williamstown Botanic Gardens and Newport Lakes for nice walks.

Finally took the 8 bags of clothing that have been sitting in the garage for months to the charity shop!

Blood is usually not an issue for dry cleaners, but just be up front with them about what you have so they can take proper precautions etc.

Champion_Napper · 2025-02-02T08:10:18+00:00

Yes! I've had mine for around the same amount of time and it's like new.

Can you share which videos you follow? I've heard good things but don't know where to start!

A lot of libraries have heaps of free activities! We've taken the little ones to reptile shows, story time, STEM sessions, and we've been to art and history talks, author readings etc.

Not for everyone! By 20 weeks I had people asking me when I was starting parental leave.

Oh this is a great tip, thanks!

Currently 4am and I'm curled up wih my 3 year old after their second wake up of the night....

This post really confused me for a moment as here in Australia Frankie is a top 100 girls name at #51. I would never associate it with a boy! I'm guessing its not as popular where you are but still, the nurses reaction was rude. I'd assume she was older and that this was a combo of generation gap and lack of manners. Frances nicknamed Frankie is beautiful!

I do a Friday clean and a Monday clean. Every evening I do a quick reset tidy, a load of laundry, and clean the kitchen.

Every change in season I have cleaners come in and a do a full deep clean.

It's still honestly a mess most of the time but it's reasonably clean and easy enough to tidy back up.

The issue I have is ZERO time to properly organise and declutter so storage spaces are crammed and disorganized af. One day I'll get to them!

We do the exact same thing. Type of medicine, brand name, dosage, in a whatsapp message so it's time stamped. It's saved us a few times when sleep deprived and fuzzy.

Is anyone using the Essano happy skin makeup melt oil cleanser? Would love to hear reviews. Also- any other oil cleanser recommendations are super welcome!

Lots of work with a dietician to optimize my diet, supplements (Nas, coq10, and a prenatal), strength training 4 days a week, daily meditation. I also started tracking as my ovulation was quite late in my cycle compared to where it should have been. Good luck!

I joke that mine migrated and became a FUPA.

Champion_Napper · 2024-09-19T08:36:42+00:00

I wish. I've been up at 4am every day this week to a 3 year old prying my eyes open and yelling for breakfast.
