I’m only 18 weeks pregnant today so it’s slightly early to be looking at baby rooms BUT I love decor and I have been looking for a way to get into baby mode a little more since I’ve found it difficult to connect with pregnancy – probably because I’m just soooo scared deep down inside – but at the same time I dont want to miss any part of this pregnancy and baby. . . here are some ideas for the baba room
This weekend was spent with some adorable little people, on Sunday I wittnessed the baptism of Robyn and Ryan’s beautiful twins Blake and Riley…
There are a few very special little girls in my life (more since the baby boom of 2013)
Anyway today one of these special little girls celebrates her second birthday…..YEAH!
Happy Birthday Kirsten!
Kirsten has been a very vocal one-year-old, (ridiculously sarcastic and cheeky for her age) especially the last few months, here are a few of her funniest moments: (can’t wait to see what her “twos” have in store)
– She’s quite shy so sometimes needs to be prompted to interact…
HER MOM: Say hello to Elle
KIRSTY: Hello Elle *hug*
ME: Hey how are you today
KIRSTY: No, Kirsty only says hello…*walks away*
– Not realising the question had been asked at a thousand times that day…
MY SIS: Kirsty where is Pa (her grandfather)
KIRSTY: In my pocket
– While watching TV on the couch
ME: You smell nice like a baby
KIRSTY: *Scrunches up face like some people do when speaking to babies while wiggling fingers like shes about to tickle me* Ooooh like a baaaaybeee, like a little baaaybeee, look at the little baaaaybeee
– After a mischievous moment
UNCLE: Kirsten don’t be naughty
KIRSTY: I’m not naughty I’m just a baby
– She intercepts a call from her mother to me
KIRSTY: Hello, where are you
ME: I’m at work
KIRSTY: NO!
ME: What do you mean? I’m really at work
KIRSTY: NO, you don’t work!
ME: I do
KIRSTY: Okaaaaayyy *don’t believe you tone* Miss you
– Getting sleepy in the back of the car
HER MOM: Oooh you so tired, are you going to get into bed and sleep when we get home
KIRSTY: No Kirsty sleep in your bag *laughs like she’s just SOOO funny*
– Having a “serious” talk with her mom
KIRSTY: You know, ouma has a laptop, Elle has a laptop, Nita (aunt) has a laptop, Yaya (aunt) has a laptop, EVERYBODY has a laptop, but kirsty *sigh*
Later I overhear:
KIRSTY: I can just take Elle’s laptop ne
She sees me:
KIRSTY: So wheres your laptop *sneaky smile*
– Shopping with her mom and I
KIRSTY: What you doing?
ME: Looking for a dress
KIRSTY: *looking puzzled and starts pointing at things* but this is a dress and this is a dress
ME: How about that one? *pointing at her mom*
KIRSTY: *Wants to practically grab it from her mother* NOOOO! not that one mommy! put it back, mommy put it back, it not pretty mommy no!
– Out for breakfast – first time she gets handed utensils at restaurant
KIRSTY: *looks at blunt knife and fork in the serviette* shhhhh they sleeping
ME: *playing along* is the knife a girly?
KIRSTY: *in a uhm duh tone* the knife is a boy Elle, fork is a girly
– She originally wanted to order a burger but settled for a scrambled egg breaky
WAITRESS: *puts down plate*
KIRSTY: Thank you ,where is my burger
HER MOM: You like egg, just try it
KIRSTY: *eats about half her food and pushes away plate* thank you can I have my burger now
ME: You won’t be able to finish a burger now, drink your juice
KIRSTY: *obliges and drinks juice* mmmmm I’m drinking a burger, mmmmm I’m drinking my chippies
– Pointing out fruit in fruit basket
KIRSTY: Apple, pear, banana, orange, naartjie, and not a naartjie (lemon)
Looking forward to many more “conversations” with this little one
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRSTY, SEE YOU AT YOUR PARTY!

If you ever find yourself in a “what to cook when I actually have no real ingredients to speak of” type predicament, this mini frittata recipe is just for you.
It’s ideal for a Saturday morning before going shopping or the end of the month before you can actually go shopping, in other words it’s ideal to use up all those bits and pieces in your fridge and as the recipe is so easy to adapt it is pretty easy to find “your own way” to make these yummy MINI FRITTATAS This is my way:
