B is for. . . Boyfriend

Boyfriend, I hate saying that Tom is my boyfriend, it sounds so juvenile. But if I call him my partner, I feel like I'm old. I guess technically he is my defacto but I have never really heard anyone refer to their other half as their defacto, would that be weird?

Anyway he is the other half of me, the one I love. And today on "Thankful Thursday" I am so happy and thankful to have him in my life.

I mean , no doubt he drives me crazy and we have our ups and downs. But without him I don't even know where I would be. He is so supportive and he is always there when I need him and he would do anything for his family.

He really is fantastic.

The other night I had a migraine and he came home from work, ran me a bath and made me a peppermint tea and let me relax to try and make me feel better.

He makes me cups of tea, pretty much on demand. And has even been known to bless me with breakfast in bed, pretty much every weekend. And he helped me create a pretty perfect little person, who is a Mini him all over,

He is there with hugs when I need them, kisses when I crave them and support when I feel hopeless. He mended my heart, opened me up to what real love is all about and taught me to be confident and proud of who I am as a person (trust me, that was not an easy job) I am new and improved since he entered my life and I honestly can't imagine a day without him by my side.

I mean sure, he leaves his socks on the floor, leaves the toilet seat up and forgets the dishes every now and then. But I can forgive him, because he is pretty much amazing, and every night when I lay down to sleep, I thank the world for letting me have him.

So that concludes a super soppy blog post from me. I just hope he knows how much he means to me :-)

Happy "Thankful Thursday" everyone. What do you have to be thankful about? Link up with "Six By The Bay" because she is amazing ;-)

F is for . . . Fun

Ethan and I were playing today, usually he is so happy to play by himself either on the floor or in his walker. He loves it. But the last few days, im guessing his teefers are starting to give him hell and he is being very sad. It hurts me to see him uncomfortable, I wish there was more I could do to make him happy.

So rather than him having alone time play, he has been having mummy cuddle time. To make it a little more interesting we played with the webcam and took some photos. He loves to see himself, so this made him happy for a while.

Ive got so say, im very impressed with his ability to look so cute when he is actually so sad.

Take a look for yourself. . .

Isnt he adorable?

I am so in love with him, he teaches me new things every day.

His most important mummy lesson for today, is put a smile on your dial, it will make you feel better, even if its just for a little while.

Does anyone have an magic medical miracles for teething bubbies? I would love to hear them!

B is for . . . Baby Wipe use #1

There are so many things to look forward to when you have a baby. The amazing smiles, the cuddles and well just the love you can feel for someone so instantly.

One thing that people informed me would change my world, was baby wipes. 

Baby wipes, I thought to myself, how in the world are they going to have such  large impact on me? Well everyone was right they did!

These nifty little squares of cloth are useful for a whole lot more than just wiping up babies bum! So I thought , as I discover new uses, I would post them and share them with the rest of the world. 

Never again will I be caught without a baby wipe around! These things are way too useful.

Baby Wipe use number 1.

Ideally I would love to get my hair done at the hair dressers, But thats not always possible. So instead I reach for my trusty box of hair dye and do it myself.

For anyone who dyes their own hair, they would know the colossal mess it makes all over your skin and getting it off can be one painful task, But not if you have a pack of baby wipes handy.

I decided to give it a go last night after I dyed my hair to see if it would work. And low and behold it does! It worked perfectly and fast and I wasn't left scrubbing the side of my head for hours afterwards. One wipe for each side of my face and I was as good as new.

Oh what a lovely face :-/

But anyway you can see the difference it made to my head and neck, and no red scrub marks to be seen! If you haven't been introduced into the world of baby wipes, I suggest you grab some and see how incredible they really are.

Ill keep posting the uses that I find.

Do you have any baby wipe miracles?
