Here’s my little man today, wearing classic boy colours: red, navy blue and gray. He has a fascination with our door stops, apparently they taste delicious 🙂

This is what he had for lunch today: Homemade “baked” beans, cheese sticks and slices of peeled apples. I loved making this bento box for him, I can’t wait until I can make proper ones when he goes to school 🙂 my dear Japanese friend, E, gave us the cute Mickey Mouse stick and pink bear pick – I love them!

OOTD to the Handmade Market

I’m wearing my Japan tshirt, ikat print Cotton On shorts and a black knitted vest. Check out my little man’s Old Navy loafers with mustaches on them, cute right? 🙂 They’re one of many from Grandma, she really does spoil him.

We went to the Handmade Market today, there were so many things that I liked, I was too overwhelmed. In the end, like always when I am given too many choices, I end up with none or very little 😦 Luckily, Mr E knocked some senses into me and we got a cronut and some macarons. Phew! Lucky he came 😉

I also bought a “what would be a top for normal people but is a tunic for me” tunic. It’s in the wash right now, so I’m sure it will be featured in my OOTD posts soon.

OOTD and my #firstworldproblem

A Sailor-themed Peter Alexander Men’s shirt (worn as a tunic top), my Dotti pants again and a pair of black Rockport flats.

My lovebug’s outfit was picked out by daddy and I’m impressed 🙂 A stripped polo with his Esprit chino ($5 from a consignment shop).

I’m trying out my “an oldie but a goodie” Coach bag today because I’m having such a #firstworldproblem with deciding on a new nappy bag. I don’t want to break my 2 year streak of saving up and not buying a bag for just any bag. So when I’m normally picky, I am now super duper picky.  

It’s Mr E’s last day of work today, so we’re going to make the most of it. Have a great day, everybody!  :

I’m wearing an Emily Strange tshirt (another good buy from 2006!) and my ikat print Cotton On shorts. Little man is wearing his adorable RL pastel green onesie.  Please ignore his drool patch (he’s forever teething!)

Last night, I was reminded how tiring and difficult parenthood could be. Here we are, on a holiday, and we’re up half the night trying to get a hysterical crying baby to sleep. We also learnt how easy it is to just take the simple way out, anything to stop him crying and just sleep already!

Before I continue, I would like to emphasize again that as parents, you decide what you think is best for your baby. No matter what people say, either praises or criticism, you know what is best. Ultimately, it is your decision as parents.  therefore,  what I say on my posts, should not make you question your decision. Please do take it on board, if you like, and review whether your original thoughts are right. But please, don’t take what I write about as an indirect criticism of you 🙂

Anyway, one of our decisions was that we will not be co-sleeping. Was. Because we did last night. We were tired and little E just wanted to be held. So we put him in between us, cuddled him, and we slept for a full 4 hours.   I have to say, it was nice cuddling him to sleep. It was also lovely to wake up with him slobbering all over my face. I like to think that I woke up to his kisses today 🙂

We’re off to see our friends and their adorable baby of little E’s age today. Hopefully, after their playing around, and a swim this afternoon, would tire little E out and he’ll sleep better tonight!

My new favourite oat-coloured asymmetrical dress and Novo sandals.  

Check out little E’s awesome super hero outfit! 🙂

Mr E has whisked us to Sydney this long weekend, I am very much looking forward to the amazing array of delicious food and great shopping expeditions! Most importantly, the warm weather!

A red tshirt from Threadless with a pair of Zara baroque-patterned jeans and sparkley shoes from Novo.

The weather has been really weird here lately in Canberra, so I also have a black Tommy Hilfiger cable knitted jacket with me. It was one of my best buys of my life! 35AUD from David Jones and it has lasted me for 6 years so far. DJ really does have great sales 🙂

Mine: An old Donald Duck tshirt with black leggings, worn with rose gold rabbit shoes from ASOS and my beloved Le Pliage bag.

Little E: taupe tshirt, handmade pants from Mr E’s old tshirt and a Tigger hat. Both the tshirt and the hat came from the pile of clothes we got.

And yes, I have sadly become one of those people who wear tights as pants! My excuse is that I’m going painting with little E for the first time and I didn’t have any pants that I can afford to get paint on.
