I’ll be honest, I haven’t read a book in weeks. It’s not for not wanting too – just for lack of time and being so exhausted by the time I fall into bed that I can’t keep my eyes open or my brain working for long enough! Plus, someone stood/sat/jumped on my tablet and smashed the screen so badly it doesn’t work at all – and while I much prefer really books, my kindle app is a lifesaver as I can read/hold with one hand without needing a light on – vital if you have a baby sleeping on you! I have been enjoying reading the last issue of Taproot Magazine though – such a beautiful and inspiring magazine.

*whispers*I’ve been thinking about Christmas. I know!! It’s just October… but needs must. Blog planning needs to start happening months ahead for the coming season, and I also know I need to start my shopping soon, especially as this year we’ll have a birthday to celebrate 3 days after Christmas too! There have been a lot of lists being made and I’m hoping that I’ll be organised in time –  I like to be all set and shopped before December arrives so I can enjoy the festive season with the kiddos. I’m hoping to get a real tree this year too!

Too much and not enough. That’s the story of a Mama’s life right?! My days pass in a blur of activity yet come the evening I struggle to work out what I’ve achieved. I’ve been doing quite a lot of work the past few weeks which is fantastic, but means every quiet {ha!} second is filled to the brim.

I’ve been trying hard to eat a little bit healthier. A nursing baby and being so tired means I want to eat pretty much constantly and things that are probably not the best for me. Think cake, and chocolate or chocolate cake! I’ve been living on peanut butter otast for breakfast AND supper since beastie was born. Now the weather has turned cooler I’m making an effort to make myself some healthy porridge for breakfast, topped with a spoonful of peanut butter and a sliced banana. Yum!

Ah! Wishing – wishing for more sleep or more hours in the day or an extra pair of hands! I know this season will pass quickly and I’ll miss having a small baby around, but when you’re in the midst of it, everything can seem overwhelming. There is never quite enough time to do all I need to do, I never have enough hands to play with the baby, carry him, help the girls and cook dinner. And don’t even get me started on sleep… this past week or two have been worse than when he was a newborn…. I’m all about the coffee right now!!!

What have you been doing/thinking/wishing this week?
