Its @ballaratheritageweekend. Have you been getting involved with the online content? I’m missing our community so much, especially this weekend but I know that next year will be even better. I found this pic of Roo getting caught breaking into his picnic lunch last year! I'll try and find some more photos of all the fashion from previous years!

For the first time ever my little family won’t be able to do the @ballarattweedride. It's being held virtually as part of the @ballaratheritageweekend online program. I have seen some sneak peeks of tomorrow events and its going to be amazing. I've been attending the Ballarat Tweed Ride since it began back in 2012 well before we had kids. In a few more years they'll be riding their own bikes!

💔 Last week we said goodbye to Inu. After my twin sister died back in 2006 we adopted her dog Inu. Maja wanted a Labrador called Mr Funnybones or Worrells but also liked the idea of a little Gucci dog called Pookie that could be carried around in a handbag. Eventually she convinced her hubby on the dog idea and after her hilarious name options they decided on Inu (Japanese for dog). In the months before Maja died we were constantly sent photos of her growing pregnant belly and Inu always had a feature.

We always knew one day we would have to say goodbye but losing Inu feels like losing another piece of Maja & baby Oliver over again. “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard” - Winnie the Pooh (A.A Milne)

This was probably (definitely) the last time I put on make up and washed my hair. Since I’m booked in for High Tea by zoom this weekend I might have to wash and dress properly again. I cant wait for High Tea. I normally hate going out on Mothers Day and this year I’m pumped that I don’t have to make up an excuse but still get to eat yummy cake and see my Mum all virtually!

Being at home has definitely had its ups and downs

Being at home has definitely had its ups and downs. Whilst I love the slow life of a clear calendar it does come with the constancy of 3 little ones that I can't escape from. I started out having massive FOMO seeing people doing isolation creations or taking up new hobbies as if somehow I'm not being productive if I haven't learnt to bake souffle, practice French or taken up painting. Instead my days are changing nappies, removing objects from the toilet, finding gumboots in the washing machine, and a 2yo who managed to scale the childfence into the pantry. All of this is exhausting but it's also ok.
We don't need to be productive or 'ON' all the time and it's good to step away and reassess what you've actually achieved. We had a huge milestone as little Etty is finally on formula after we've spent most of her little lifetime trying to get her on the bottle. She was born with a congenital issue and we've had ongoing concerns with her weight & growth but she's finally gone up a size from 000 to 00 and and hopefully she will continue going up. I've had so much worry about delays in her development, that she wasn't rolling or taking to solids but now she's doing all those things and more.
So while I'm not making art, starting a business or learning a language, I am keeping 3 little humans fed and happy (mostly) and that's a blessing in itself and a big enough success for me! 💕
