Four months ago today our lives changed exquisitely!
I’ll never look back – can’t wait for the future with our beautiful son and daughter!
My first Mothers Day!
My Mothers Day started on Saturday night, infact!!
Rob was mysteriously pottering in the kitchen, and told me I couldn’t come in. He eventually ushered me to the table, and presented me with a gorgeous platter of fresh oysters!!! Wow, what a treat!!
And then on Mothers day morning Rob picked up some chores I hadn’t expected him to, like giving the twins their vitamins, and laundry. And then presented me with a delicious assortment of pastries (my weekness), a tasty bottle of sparkling wine, a beautiful cyclamin plant, and bottles of pesto from a local olive farm!
Aaah!
So precious!!
Tha rest of the day was spent with our families who came to visit. I baked a pudding, which tasted alright, but coordinating it threw me into a spin trying to juggle with feeding and soothing babies. Oh well, lesson learnt. Leave the cooking to someone else for a while.
Have a fabulous week.
Brand New Blog!
I’m so proud to be posting my first new post on my newly located, and gorgeously designed blog (www.lovethyself.com).
My fab digital designer sister, Joanne, from Pretty Pretty (http://www.prettypretty.co.za), generously re-skinned and designed this WordPress blog, my facebook page, pinterest page and my twitter page !! She also designed my headers, avatar and icon, all of which I love!
Thanks so much Jo! I know you’ll continue to provide excellent designs for other bloggers out there, who’ll be incredibly fortunate to work with you!
Can’t wait to get blogging again!
First day back!
It’s here!! My maternity leave has finally come to an end!! To say I’m feeling conflicted emotions is an understatement!!
It’s an end to my beautiful pregnancy-maternity honeymoon, and it makes me sad! But I am looking forward to stimulating my brain again, and getting stuck into some challenges.
I’ll come home for lunch today – to see my babies, check on the nanny, and express. But I’ll have to figure out a way to express at work – it’s a small company, with no dedicated room for such activities.
Once I’ve gathered my thoughts, I’ll post again, but for now, a commemoration of the climax of this past phase of my life:
Wish me luck!!
Happy-making pics
I posted last about Annabelle and I hanging out in the garden. Well just after I posted, Ginger, our boy cat joined us!
It was soft and comfy, you see!
What a gorgeous kitty.
Here’s Precious playing with Dominic in the sun room.
Cutie pie.
And then Dad bought the babies a super awesome play mat!! It is a huge hit!!
And finally. Annabelle has the cutest way of sucking her thumb, to self soothe. Beautiful!!
Such an angel.
This weekend Annabelle was sitting in her bouncy chair, which has a flower that plays music when you pull its little ring-pull. Rob and I left the room for a bit and suddenly heard the song playing. Annabelle had figured out how to get it to play!! Well done sweety pie!!
I’m Ally and I live in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. This blog is a space where I'll share the many special moments of my life, especially as a new mum of twins.
