A Small Beginning…

Kimberly Peterson

As many of you know, I have been taking photos of my son Micah (now 10 months old) ever since he was born. A few months ago, I’ve decided to extend my photo taking services to friends and their bubs for free. I wanted to gain the experience and maybe get some exposure as they show off their bubs’ photos to their friends. This week, I’ve decided I was ready to take the plunge and go beyond my friends support and start charging a small fee for my photography services. It is a small start – but I don’t plan … Continue reading A Small Beginning…

Week 47: There’s Not Enough Days in the Week!

Kimberly Peterson

Yesterday, while I was down with a cold and had to cancel a visit to a friend’s place to meet her new baby, I had too much time to think about all the things I want to do during the week and all the people I would love to catch up with… the only problem is, there is not enough days in the week to do it all! I found myself torn between wanting to do nothing, and wanting to do everything. It was a very annoying thought and eventually I just had to let it go… I cannot catch … Continue reading Week 47: There’s Not Enough Days in the Week!

Daily Routine at 10 Months

Kimberly Peterson

By now, Micah and I have established a pretty solid daily routine. It is not fixed to a specific time everyday, it does depend on what time he wakes up in the morning, but it is pretty accurate within plus/minus 30 minutes. Below is a typical example of what Micah does everyday – this is a typical STAY HOME routine, and we are hardly at home all day these days, but if you substitute the various “Play Time” with Grocery Shopping, Running Errands, Lunch Date, Play Date, Shopping Date, Mums Group, Walking, etc that should work. Whenever I have to … Continue reading Daily Routine at 10 Months

Baby Food Movers by Smash Enterprises

Kimberly Peterson

Recently I was introduced to a new range of Baby Food Movers products by Smash Enterprises, the latest eco friendly lunch product range for busy parents on the move. The marketing team representing Smash has asked if I would be interested to review the products, and being a busy mum myself with a hectic social calendar week after week, I thought why not! I was given a sample of the Food Tub Tray, which I absolutely love because it allows for convenient portion control with its little sized containers. It is very difficult to find small containers with a leak … Continue reading Baby Food Movers by Smash Enterprises

Week 44: Tis the Season for Walks and a Dance Video

Kimberly Peterson

Micah and I went out for a walk today (and we even made a new friend while we were out, but that is a different story) and last night, we went out for a walk together as a family when hubby got home from work. I love daylight savings, because it went we get extra daylight at night so we get to enjoy those family walks. The weather is getting warmer and warmer too, so it is definitely an opportunity to take more steps during the day and try to be healthy by doing lots of walking. While I’ve been … Continue reading Week 44: Tis the Season for Walks and a Dance Video

Week 43: Summer Days… :-)

Kimberly Peterson

Today the temperature is set to soar up to 29 degrees. 29 degrees! For the first time in a long time, Micah went to sleep last night without the heater on (although eventually it got pretty cold later in the night so I got up at 2.30am to turn the heater on for him anyway) and he’s been dresssed in cute shorts and T-shirts all week. I am lovin’ it! I love seeing him dressed in shorts and T-shirts, makes him look like a little person. Wait, that doesn’t make any sense because he IS a little person! Ohh he … Continue reading Week 43: Summer Days… 🙂

Week 42: I Need To Stay Home and Do Laundry Tomorrow!

Kimberly Peterson

It’s 6.30pm and Micah is already fast asleep. Suddenly I’m not too sure what to do with all this TIME in my hands! Actually, I do. I haven’t blogged all week! Gee this week has gone so quickly. So much happened in this week alone, I’m not sure where to start…. *checks calendar to refresh memory* First of all let me start with a weather update, lol. It got up to 28 degrees today with 40% humidity! That’s really warm, so it was great to dress Micah up in T-shirt and shorts for a change! Unfortunately it will go back … Continue reading Week 42: I Need To Stay Home and Do Laundry Tomorrow!

Someone Else’s Trash Is Our Treasure

Kimberly Peterson

A few weeks ago, as I was driving home from possibly shopping, I saw a little cubby house looking sad and lonely on the roadside outside our neighbour’s house two houses away. I decided I’d stop to have a look, and it was a perfectly good cubby house! Yes, the paint has faded due to sun damage, and there are a few minor plastic cracks but nothing that would actually damage the structural integrity of the cubby house! I looked around and wondered how I was going to get the cubby house to our house all by myself. It was … Continue reading Someone Else’s Trash Is Our Treasure
