Having only got back into Sydney on Sunday and having to dive straight back into work the next day, I haven’t been able to post this until now I was also trying to fight off the dreaded man-flu I picked up on the last day of my holiday which made the plane ride back a … Continue reading »
The Spirit of Australia
I’ve been meaning to post this for a few days now, but I’ve learnt that travelling with a baby overseas makes blogging a tricky assignment. Thursday last week was a glorious day. It’s hard to complain when you have so many reasons to be happy. Thursdays for most of us (myself included) would normally mean slogging … Continue reading »
Ergo Baby: the way forward
Out with the old and in with the new. As mentioned in an earlier post (Mum’s Shopping Spree), we recently purchased a ERGO Baby Organic Baby Carrier based on reviews online and from word of mouth. The BabyBjorn was initially great and I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. The thing is though, our … Continue reading »
Eggs, carrots and milestones
In Australia, we’re currently enjoying our 4-day Easter long weekend It’s great! And as much as we’re not into dressing Jayden up, his aunty brought over a pairof Lindt bunny ears which were so small that no one else could wear them… except Jayden! I know traditionally the Easter Bunny brings yummy chocolate eggs… but … Continue reading »
Fail Whale Daddy
I’ve been such a reoccurring Fail Whale dad lately. I’m normally quite on the ball, very sharp and always alert. My supernatural innate abilities (essentially my spider-sense and the like) have always kept me from making a fool out of myself (most of the time). Alas, my powers have disappeared. Like Samson, I cut my hair and … Continue reading »
Bath time bubble bliss
I remember like it was only yesterday when bath time was a horrendous time of day for us. Jayden hated being stripped down and dunked in water… but then again all of us probably would too if we were forced to do so against our will… Isn’t there a form of torture which has to … Continue reading »
Mom’s shopping spree
My dear wife came home the other day with a huge grin on her face and a rather large haul of shopping. She was proud of her purchases… and I was too. No it wasn’t groceries and to my amazement, it wasn’t the latest Zara clothes or a few new pairs of shoes It was … Continue reading »
Baby Passport Photo Hell
A very busy week has just passed and the biggest highlight of my week was the decision to go overseas with my wife and Jayden for a close friend’s wedding. We were originally not going to travel because the thought of travelling with a newborn was an experience we were not totally enthusiastic about. We’ve … Continue reading »
Debut Dad Exclusive: The Q&A Scoop!
I think there are quite a few posts around in the blogosphere themed around answering a set of questions and posing a different set of questions to some of your blog’s followers, essentially paying it forward. I have to say that I like the concept and enjoy reading about the people behind the blogs and … Continue reading »
Girls night out… boys night in…
My wife’s friends organised to go out for a catch up and dinner at a nice restaurant last night. It was her first night out without Jayden and I. I miss seeing her getting all made up for a girls night out and it was great to see her slip on a pair of heels … Continue reading »
