I used to be a Mummy Blogger! What happened??

Kimberly Peterson

Where do I even begin… I used to be a mummy blogger. A fairly good one too, I must add. I used to document Micah’s development week after week. I can look back at Micah’s first year and tell you exactly when he started crawling, eating, walking, clapping, talking, throwing tantrums, etc. (Just as I was typing that, Micah screamed “I WANT MY WATER BOTTLE!!!” I then went up to him and said “That is not how you ask for things, ask again, nicely, and say please.” Which he did. I then gave him his water bottle and walked back … Continue reading I used to be a Mummy Blogger! What happened??

Go Native Restaurant, Berwick

Kimberly Peterson

Photo Credit: https://www.facebook.com/gonativeaus Just around the corner from home in Berwick, a new restaurant emerged just a few months ago. I remember receiving a promotional flyer in my mailbox and thought to myself “I must go and check it out someday”… and that someday somehow just happened recently. I must say I was pleased, it was a decent restaurant and we needed more decent restaurants in the area. I wasn’t completely wow-ed, there is still some room for improvement.  Go Native offers native and traditional dishes from different regions around the world including street food from the Philippines, Cambodia and the … Continue reading Go Native Restaurant, Berwick

Spicy Mexican Roast Chicken Recipe

Kimberly Peterson

I wanted to eat chicken today. I actually wanted to eat chicken really badly today! So I thawed an Extra Large whole chicken that I got from Coles last week On Special, and while it was thawing I was pondering all day what I would do with it. In other words, how would I cook this chicken to best satisfy my craving for chicken??? Do I cook a chicken curry? Do I steam it? Do I chop it up and make fried chicken (I probably would have if it wasn’t so much effort, but it was too much effort when … Continue reading Spicy Mexican Roast Chicken Recipe

Ordering Food Delivery Online + $50 Menulog Voucher Giveaway!

Kimberly Peterson

As a busy mum with two very young kids, some nights I barely manage to put a decent meal together.  If we have had a busy day and I have either been out most of the day or had other chores to take care of, or had to do some work on the computer while the kids are napping, or even just needed to have a snooze myself in the afternoon just to stay sane, 5.30pm comes along and I realise the baby needs to be breastfed and bathed – and I still haven’t put dinner on. How am I … Continue reading Ordering Food Delivery Online + $50 Menulog Voucher Giveaway!

EightyOne Fine Food & Wine, Berwick

Kimberly Peterson

Charcuterie Platter for 2 inc Ham Hock Terrine, Fennel and Garlic Salami, Butifarra Negra, Grilled Sour Dough, Pickles, Jam, Cauliflower, Artichoke. I actually blogged about EightyOne restaurant almost 2 years ago (click here to read that blog post) and wasn’t sure if I would come back to the restaurant. I am so glad I did, because the food has improved tremendously and I walked away a really happy (and full) customer last night. Interior and ambience wise, not much has changed. The restaurant itself was still that same intimate, quiet, beautiful place I remembered. The service was still prompt and … Continue reading EightyOne Fine Food & Wine, Berwick

O.MY Restaurant in Beaconsfield – Fine Dining and Degustation in the Suburbs

Kimberly Peterson

Is writing a review on a restaurant a year later a bit too late? Haha… not if I have recently returned to the restaurant just last week and realised it was exactly a year ago that I started drafting this blog post I never got to finish… Before I get into the content, let me just explain to my readers (if you are still out there) why I have been MIA for a full year. Well, the short version is I went on maternity leave. The long version is, I had my second child, Silver in March 2014 and took … Continue reading O.MY Restaurant in Beaconsfield – Fine Dining and Degustation in the Suburbs

6 Months Later…

Kimberly Peterson

Cannot believe 6 months have passed just like that… the past 6 months have been FULL ON. That is quite an understatement really. You just don’t realize what a luxury it was to only have to care for one child until another one comes along. Life is busy, busy and busy ALL the time! Sleep is pretty much a bonus on days when we get lucky. The house is a permanent bomb site. I have been very lucky though, half the time I have had my mum staying with us and helping me with the kids. She was here for … Continue reading 6 Months Later…

The Birth of Silver Grace Peterson

Kimberly Peterson

This blog has been abandoned for many, many months now but I figured now is a good time to write a new blog post because Micah now has a little sister! This is her birth story… (To read Micah’s birth story, click here: http://www.kimbaspride.com/2011/12/birth-of-micah-solomon-peterson.html) Introducing Silver Grace Peterson, born 5.11pm on Sunday, 16th March 2014. Weight 4.54kg, Length 52cm, Head Circ 37.5cm. Unlike Micah (who was born at 38 weeks), this little bubba was way too comfortable in my belly and did NOT want to come out! The last few weeks of my pregnancy was such a long haul… I was … Continue reading The Birth of Silver Grace Peterson
