Nappy Bag

Posted by Mum with Hope at 1:13 PM

Here's a picture of my nappy/baby bag. It's a Colorado shoulder bag. Which is not meant for nappy/baby bag but I chosen it because I just want a normal bag that can serve the same purpose. How many things can I fit in there? Answer: next picture

A list of things in my bag:

1) A spare body suit for Esther

2) A drink bottle for Jono (the pink top bottle)

3) A drink bottle for myself (the blue top clear bottle)

4) A drink bottle for Esther (the purple and green one)

5) A rattle (Esther)

6) A teething fish (Esther)

8) A plastic pelican (for Esther)

9) A feeding spoon (Esther)

10) A set of link-a-doo toy (Esther)

11) 2 spare nappies (Esther)

12) A muslin wrap (Esther)

13) A nappy changing mat (Esther)

14) Baby wipes (Esther n Jono)

15) Some mini books (Esther n Jono)

16) Some ballons (Esther n Jono)

17) Little people toy (Esther n Jono)

18) A snack container (Esther n Jono)

18) Two mini toy cars (Jono)

19) A wallet (Me)

20) A pen (Me)

21) A packet of tissues (Me)

I still have many other little things in my bag such as a head scarf, a note pad, car/house keys, hair brush, mobile phones etc...

Well I think you get the picture. :D Those things are essentials to make our journey outside the house pleasant and worries free.

Esther is turning one in less than a week!

Posted by Mum with Hope at 8:53 PM

My baby Esther is turning ONE on the 24th this month. Where has the time gone???? She is walking, uttering a few words and loves giving cuddles. I am now really started to enjoy having 2 kids. Mainly because Jono and Esther can play together a bit more and Esther is far more independent than just being a baby. She can eat almost anything we eat and is happy just walking around the house all day (minus the getting into everything part :P). My mission this week is to prepare a small 1st birthday party on the 27th Feb. Dane will be home for it as well. Can't wait!

Love Letter

Posted by Mum with Hope at 9:10 PM

A special Love Letter from a father to his son.

We got two very special letters yesterday. There are LOVE letters from hubby. He wrote one for Jono and one for me. These letters had me in tears because they're filled with LOVE. His touching words and creative drawings have made the separation just a little better.
