Welcome to MamaBlog with Stial

This blog simply is about being a mother and the remarkable journey it is in life.

I am sure it will have its peaks and troughs and this blog is to share and hopefully get some real life advice.

Time to move


We have finally decided our town house in Port Melbourne is too small for us. Well, maybe not now but in a few years time. Therefore, we have decided to move to Mount Martha. And what a beautiful place it is. Last weekend we had a lovely family day trip, looked at a few houses and spent a lovely time on the beach.

Issy is really keen and the area will be so good for the kids. They will have a big garden to play in, a range of good schools, a beach life and hopefully relaxed and happy parents.

We just have to find THE house but the ball is rolling

Stay at home mum

After almost a year back at work after the twins were born I have made the big decision to resign and stay at home for a while. I have now been home for a little bit over two weeks and I am finally starting to relax, even though there are a million of things always to do. But I think I feel more in peace and I love this new arrangement.

The twins are now 18months and running around like tornadoes where ever they go. They are truly two really fun little girls. A bit hard to manage their energy and messiness most of the time but that is the age, isn’t it?

 Isabelle, now 4.5, is doing great and is growing up fast. She is fantastic with her sisters and just the best helper (when she isn’t in one of her moods).

I have also got a new hobby, Thermomix! It is a great cooking machine which has enabled me to learn how to bake and cook nice health meals for my family. Today I have baked two loaves of bread and cheesy mite rolls for the kids. For me that is amazing!

Who knows I might even have time to write more blogs now...

Enjoy!

Never enough?

Are we ever enough us mums? Is there ever enough time? We are stressing from one place to another and never feel that we are enough anywhere. Anyone else feel like that constantly? I am practising living here and now but God it is hard. Guilt is always there in the back of the mind. Too often it is overwhelming. I'll keep trying
