Week 39: Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

Kimberly Peterson

My poor baby boy is not well. We first noticed on Sunday morning just before church that he had a temperature. We took his temperature and it was 38 degrees. Higher than usual, but not high enough to rush to the hospital. So we gave him some Panadol and he soldiered on the rest of the day and even had lots of fun out at the Caribbean Market on Father’s Day. The next day (yesterday), those nasty spots have appeared. All over the lower part of his face and especially bad on his hands and in his nappy. I rang … Continue reading Week 39: Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease

When faced with a challenge of re-creating a recipe by a celebrity chef, the natural tendency is to cringe and go “ooh, that sounds too complicated”.

Hubby’s First Father’s Day

Kimberly Peterson

My two very special boys… love them both so much! ❤ It is Father’s Day today in Australia, I said in Australia because I know a lot of other countries celebrate Father’s Day in June! So people all around the world on Twitter would probably be all confused and wondering why we Aussies constantly tweet “Happy Father’s Day” today, well because it IS today. First Sunday of September. That’s our Father’s Day. It’s weird like that, but that’s how it is haha. This weekend is also the first weekend of spring, so we were greeted by beautiful sunshine and warm … Continue reading Hubby’s First Father’s Day

Groupon’s All-You-Can-Eat Tapas for Two ($39) at Equinox Cafe Bar, Melbourne CBD

Kimberly Peterson

Recently, Groupon had a great deal for All-You-Can-Eat tapas at Equinox Cafe Bar right next to Melbourne Central. My friend thought it would be good for us to try that out, and then go to Max Brenner after, so we ventured out into the city today and made a lovely afternoon out of it. The deal of course came with a whole lot of Fine Print, mostly to protect the restaurant from food wastage. To me they were fair enough e.g. 90-minute seating time (although you can stay longer if you want, just can’t order anymore food), only ordering 2 … Continue reading Groupon’s All-You-Can-Eat Tapas for Two ($39) at Equinox Cafe Bar, Melbourne CBD

Fountain Gate Fresh Food Section, Shopping before 9am, Picnic, Timomatic.

Kimberly Peterson

In the past few months, I’ve been doing my food and everyday shopping at the new and improved Fountain Gate. Everything I need is right next to each other at the Fountain Gate Fresh Food Section up on Level 2 of the shopping centre. Coles, Breadtop, Fish Pier, Fruit and Veg Shop.. and a plentiful of butchers in case I need to get some meat and can’t be bothered going to Tasman Meats. It is so convenient to just go to one place and get all the shopping done without hopping in and out of the car to get from … Continue reading Fountain Gate Fresh Food Section, Shopping before 9am, Picnic, Timomatic.

Week 38: Sleeping Through, No Night Feeds, Modelling Agency Update, Free Standing.

Kimberly Peterson

It has been 4 nights in a row now since I’ve weaned Micah off night feeds, and I think it’s going well. He has really only “slept through the night” on the 2nd night. Other nights he will wake up in the middle of the night and start crying, probably asking for a feed, but I have left him there to cry until he resettles himself. Sounds terrible, I know.. but he doesn’t cry for more than 5-10 minutes and goes right back to sleep. I keep thinking if I did go in there it would make things worse, him … Continue reading Week 38: Sleeping Through, No Night Feeds, Modelling Agency Update, Free Standing.

La Zuppa’s The Flavour Judging Event @ The Botanical, South Yarra VIC

Kimberly Peterson

A few days ago, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the La Zuppa’s The Flavour event and be on the judging panel for a new flavour of soup. La Zuppa recently organised a competition for people to submit ideas for a new soup flavour to add to their range of exciting soup products. From over 2,000+ entries the Top 5 were selected and we got to taste them all and vote for our favourite! The event was attended by 6 food bloggers aka Aussie “foodies” such as myself, and the rest were pretty much expert marketers of … Continue reading La Zuppa’s The Flavour Judging Event @ The Botanical, South Yarra VIC

This is me procrastinating…

Kimberly Peterson

I’m sitting here thinking I should really work on my next blog post for Kimba’s Kitchen due on Friday. Yes, I have deadlines for my other blog! On here, it’s more relaxed and no pressure to come up with content week after week… and yet I find myself not only blogging each week, but sometimes I blog a few times a week! I suppose it is a lot easier to just blog about life in general when you’re living it, and of course to write about your one and only child who pretty much consumes all of your thoughts, energy … Continue reading This is me procrastinating…

Week 37: 8-Month Review

Kimberly Peterson

Last week, Micah was scheduled to go to his 8-month Maternal & Child Health (MCH) appointment at our usual MCH centre… let’s just call our usual place Centre A. Unfortunately I was very sick last week so I had to call to reschedule my appointment. Unfortunately, due to the massive baby boom in the area (everyone’s having kids these days) Centre A was fully booked and the only time available was 6 weeks away.. that won’t work for an 8-month check up when he is 8 months old NOW! So I told the lady on the phone that I was … Continue reading Week 37: 8-Month Review
