Sorry folks - we are house hunting in a big way and it is taking up all our spare time.
Very exciting to be looking at some very nice potential homes. I could imagine us living in most of them.
We will aim to post 2 - 3 times a week during this busy time.
If anyone is interested, we are selling our Jolly Jumper
and Bumbo on ebay right now. I will have to link these tomorrow, as they haven't quite uploaded to ebay yet.
EDIT: Links now up.
EDIT #2: The Bumbo has just sold. The Jolly Jumper is still available though.
Time is flying! I remember when she was too little for the Jumper!
Now that I have started back at work, I have decided there will be no more weekend posts on My Jnr.
Weekends = Holly time. Computers steal Holly steal. Therefore, computers will have to wait.
I am sure most people check their favourite blogs during the week anyway, so we hope you will continue to check back in with us regularly....just not on weekends!
We attended the local Babes in Arms session this week, and saw Fool's Gold The movie was ok - but we had tonnes of fun "Brisbane-spotting" all the local landmarks in the film. (It was filmed here while I was still pregnant!).
If you haven't been to a Babes in Arms session, it is a great excuse for a catch up with your Mummy-friends. The cinema lights are only slightly dimmed, so you can still see, and the movies are usually light-hearted, so it doesn't matter if you miss a little bit to attend to your little one. I am always surprised at how well behaved all the babies are anyway. The Greater Union has all the info for your home town.
to me!
I having a very 'landmark' birthday today and I am very excited about it. No time for computer till tomorrow!
Chinese New Year celebrations are in full-swing in Chinatown, Brisbane (and everywhere else I am sure).
Feb 7, 2008 marked the commencement of Year of the Rat. Rats are said to be leaders, passionate, charismatic and hard-working. As a Horse, I am warned to be wary of the Rat - so thankfully, I'm not planning another child this year!
2007 was the Year of the Pig. For those of us who delivered little "piglets" last year, it is said to be good luck, as the Pig is a happy and honest child.
We are heading in for some lion dancing and fire-cracking tonight! Enjoy the festivities, where ever you are!
Holly and I will soon be making the daily trip in to the CBD to attend our respective organisations - me: work, her: child care.
So - posts may be a little sketchy over the next few weeks, till we develop some sort of routine....
We aim to post at least twice a week, so keep checking back! We're still around!
This cute kids hoodie is available from Cafe Press. I have also bought cool thank you cards and stationery from Cafe Press before.
I hadn't heard of Monkey's Undies till very recently. It's like ebay - only everything is for kids!
Very cool name. I wonder if there is a story behind it?
We are sad to report that Lily Allen's rep has confirmed Lily suffered a miscarriage. They have asked for privacy during this tough time, so we respect that.
to my old friend Bec. After a couple of delays, she had her first baby today. A little boy. Just lovely.
Erica Packer (nee Baxter), Australian singer and model and her husband James, have just announced they are 4 months pregnant. That would make her due around the same time as Nicole?
Our little crawler has progressed to pulling up, standing, falling down and pulling over......
Time to read up on baby-proofing. A great refresher too, for those who've already done so.
Welcome to the world little lady Harlow (Mum is Nicole Ritchie) and unnamed boy (Christina Aguilera). Born on the same day - Friday 11th Jan. At the same hospital - Cedar Sanai, LA.
EDIT: Xtina's official website indicates the baby was born Saturday night and is named Max.
My name is Katie Mackenzie. I have a gorgeous baby girl, and a husband who shares my appreciation for design. We hope to bring Holly up in a place that is full of fun, style and function. We have no room for clutter. And we are limited to products that are available to Australians. This blog summarises our efforts.
