IMBI TURNS 3

~ Happy 3rd Birthday ~


My baby girl is a baby no more!
She turned 3 today along with her daddy who also shares this extra special day with her!
Gosh to think this time 3 very short years ago I'd just gone through 24 hours of labour! 
Gosh! All forgotten though as I saw and held her for the first time.

Her current obsession is Peppa Pig as with most girls around her age at the moment.
I'm no chef, but I gave it a crack today. Lucky daddy! He gets to share his birthday full
of PP, pink, sparkles, fairy wings and let's not forget Kinder surprise eggs!
(My daughters other obsession!)


My apologies for such a quick, short and late post today.
As you can imagine I just want to spend all my attention on two of
the most important people in my life today. :)

All my love to my daughter and husband, I love you more than ever!

Love Candy!

Ten Pros & Cons of Me!


My List of 10

 Pros & Cons Of Me


Negative First....
10 Things Wrong With Me!

1. I am a stresshead & a worrywort.  
2. I am too shy sometimes
3. I go into a trance when I shop, then wonder why I bought certain things once I'm home.
4. I hate talking on the phone.
5. I often snack throughout the day instead of sitting down & having a decent meal.
6. I hate to cook & I suck at it.
7. My brain often thinks too fast for my mouth to keep up and I sometimes jumble over my words and get strange looks from people.
8. I find it hard to throw things away that I am emotionally attached to. 
9. I ask really dumb questions all the time.
10. I'm a dreamer, to the point where I actually believe in faeries and unicorns... ;)


The Positives....
10 Things Right With Me!

1. A tough upbringing as made me hard as nails. 
2. I like to be organized and I'm a list maker.
3. I find it really hard to lie, especially to someone in person. I just can't hold a poker face.
4. I am extremely patient.
5. I am open minded.
6. I am actually quite smart, my brain is just lazy if I'm uninterested.
7. I'm good at saving money.
8. I always make sure my recycle bin is chockers each fortnight.
9. I have really good long term memory but the short term memory of a goldfish!
10. I always have the best intentions.


This was more of a challenge to write than you may think.
Why is it that we seem to find the negatives so much easier than the positives?

I truly hope you have a happy, safe and inspiring weekend! 
See you next week! xo

Love Candy!

The Mummy Tag! ♡



1. Are you a SAHM or working mum?
I'm a SAHM.

2. Would you have it any other way?
I absolutely love being a SAHM, and as hard as it is at times, it would break my heart to leave them to go work a 9 to 5 job. Then again, if I had to do it, then I'd do it for them. ♡

3. Do you co-sleep?
Not by choice! We put Imbi to sleep in her own bed, but she always ends up creeping in with us throughout the night. We're trying to cull it, but I'm still getting up several times a night to feed Rory, so it is difficult.

4. One must have gear for baby?
Stock up on nappies! I stocked up both times when I was pregnant and even though it may look like you have bought the whole store, you will run out in no time and it's always at an inconvenient time!

5. How many kids do you plan on having?
We always said 4, buuuut now that we have 2, I'm not so sure I could handle anymore! Time will tell I suppose.

6. Date night? How many nights (or day) per month?
None. :(

7. Your child's favourite show?
Peppa Pig.

8. Name 1 thing you bought before you had your baby and you never ended up using?
I was lucky as my sister has 3 kids and let me borrow a lot of stuff she had, most of which I didn't need or end up using. I can't think of anything I bought that I didn't use... My hubby spent a crazy amount on one of those Tommee Tippee nappy disposal bins which I said at the time was a total waste of money - I was right!


9. Your child's favourite food?
Carrots!

10. How many cars does your family have?
I have a VW Green New Beetle and hubby has a work car.

11. Weight gain before pregnancy, during and after, and now?
Before - None
During - Between 15/20kg I think
After - Took about 5ish months for both pregnancies to go back to normal.
Now - I'm back to my normal weight.

12. Dream vacation with your kiddos?
Disneyland, Peppa Pig World & Hello Kitty World.

13. Dream vacation without the kiddos?
Europe, NY and Hawaii!

14. How has your life changed since your baby has been born?
Pretty much everything has changed, a lot I knew and was prepared for, and some not so much. My life has been flipped on its head. Motherhood came so naturally to me, but some things that have changed I miss and wish hadn't. It's all worth it though, no question!

15. Finish the sentence: "It makes my heart melt to see......"
My daughter getting so excited to see her daddy each night when he gets home from work. When she sings and dances and reads books to her little brother. When she copies things I say and do - it's hilarious! I also can't get enough of my son's laugh. ♡♡♡


16. Where do you shop for your kids?
Wherever. It really depends what we need. We are given a lot of hand me downs, so we don't often need to shop. Occasionally we'll wander Big W or K-mart and find a few new toys to keep them stimulated and learning.


17. Favourite make-up and skin care products?
Can I say everything? I have a million favourite beauty items, they're my escape! I love them all!

18. Huggies diaper jeans: yay or nay?
I've seen them but never bought. Don't really care, a nappy is a nappy, so long as it does its job that's all I care about. Who cares what it looks like, it's covered up by clothes 90% of the time anyway!

19. Have you always wanted kids?
Yes!

20. Best part about being a mum?
Being loved unconditionally, loving insatiably and just being there for them and watching and helping them grow.
