Christmassy

December 18th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

I always have so many amazing ideas about making all these incredible presents for everyone and wowing everyone with my DIY skills, unfortunately every year my DIY efforts are more like DIYfails…

This year I’m as un-organised as ever (if not more so) and frantically knitting away some Christmas stockings, baking like a crazy woman and trying to cross things off my list.

That’s my token (yet unfinished – how timely for this post) gingerbread house for this year, next year – use a template! Cut more carefully! I’ve finished a ginger and cherry panforte and need to complete the white chocolate fig version as part of my handmade Christmas efforts. Then, some jarred mincemeat and mince pies…… oh yeah, need to buy presents too!

you can buy me…

I’ve had some of the best two weeks of my life. I feel so blessed to be in New Zealand with my baby, relaxing, catching up with old & new friends and generally just loving my life. Time passes so quickly especially when you have a baby and responsibilities and it’s too precious not to love every moment of it and everyone in your life.


This face. I love. So much. What a freaking cute boy.

Rear Facing Car Seats – Britax Two Way Elite

October 24th, 2011 § 0 comments § permalink

This is our second car seat and what an amazing workhorse of a seat.
The best features:
Can be used rear facing till 25kgs in the front and rear seats of the car (front seat with no airbag, and you can use it in the middle rearseat)
Can be used forward facing and as a booster. You should never really use any car seat forward facing though if you can avoid it.
It is really one of the easiest RF seats to install ever. No support leg, just tethers.

Other positives
Lovely zip off cover
I think it will fit all cars really. Especially for older children where you have it in the upright position. I’ve installed it in the front and rear of a 4 door Renault Clio (1999 shape) and it’s just fine. Remember only to install it in the front if you have NO airbags. It easily fits in a BMW 7 series (2002 shape) and gives much more legroom than the BeSafe Izi.

The downsides:
It does look kind of basic, compared to say the BeSafe IZi Combi x3, it doesn’t have the same level of padding and head support/side impact protection. In saying that, I have no problem putting my son in it, it looks sturdy and comfortable.
To adjust the shoulder straps or recline angle (just 2 reclines) it’s kind of a mission. Adjusting the shoulder straps requires re-routing the straps through the shell. The recline is even more tricky and means re-installing the seat.

All in all an amazing seat – one of the cheapest around for extended rear facing. Pics coming soon.

Uuummm. And Sun.

I forgot about my blog again. Opps. Sorry. Anyway diets going okay, first week was fab, second week = fail, and this is week 3 which is going great. Although I think I’ll probably only be the same weight at the end of this week as I was at week one, damn will power fail.

Reuben’s really great at playing by himself and entertaining himself, to the point where sometimes I feel like I’m not interacting with him enough. This is a great artice on letting your child play how they want , and we have had the most amazing weather here recently and Reuben has been roaming the garden playing for hours today.
