Medela Mini Electric Breastpump Giveaway
| September 13, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Competitions, Products, Reviews, Top Picks |
When my daughter Ameli was born I was given a Medela Mini electric pump, which I used religiously a few times a day – even when she was feeding every two hours just to improve my milk supply. I would tuck her in at around 7pm, then go and pump and go to bed myself…
Memories
| September 11, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under On Mama's Mind |
I’ve been thinking about memories a lot lately. I guess it makes sense with not only a recent death in the family, but also my baby’s first birthday coming up, and our house move. Understand, I’ve moved 20-something times in my life, so moving is no big deal to me. This move, however, is. Apart…

A while ago I shared my favourite flapjack/crumpet/pancake recipe with you. This one is based on the same recipe, but with an added twist I discovered while catching up on one of my favourite photography blogs. I don’t have Katie’s recipe, but thought I could figure it out for myself. These turned out fantastic. They…
Dear Ameli- Letter to an Eleven Month Old
| September 4, 2010 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, On Mama's Mind |
Hello beautiful girl, How we have come 11 months in the blink of an eye I just don’t know. Our lives have changed so much in so many ways, and yet in some ways they don’t really feel like they’ve changed at all. It’s so hard to explain, but it is what it is. This…
Soft Drink Rice Rattles – Baby Craft

My little girl, Ameli, is a serious live wire. We have to go out every day or do something to entertain her. She gets really frustrated and shrieks a lot if we don’t. At eleven months she’s still a little too young for most of the crafts in my box, but on a recent rainy…
My little girl, Ameli, is a serious live wire. We have to go out every day or do something to entertain her. She gets really frustrated and shrieks a lot if we don’t. At eleven months she’s still a little too young for most of the crafts in my box, but on a recent rainy day I decided to see what we could do with her. The results were almost as rewarding as the doing, she absolutely loved making soft drink rice rattles. Yes, you read that right!
