Under The Sea Birthday Party
| March 5, 2013 | Posted by Luschka under Food, How To:, Letters to Ameli, Mama Crafts, Milestone Moments, Moments To Remember, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Aviya’s 1st birthday is just over a week away, and while knee-deep in preparations for it, I realised that with the mayhem and madness of visas and flying to Australia in October, I never posted the photos from Ameli’s 3rd birthday party. For her party we had an Under The Sea party at a Puck’s…
Mamatography: Week 45 – Quietly Busy
| November 14, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Mamatography, Milestone Moments, Moments To Remember |
A bit of a mix and match this week. I’m so busy all the time, and exhausted whenever I sit down from more than a minute at a time, but what have I been busy with? Heaven only knows!
Dear Aviya – Letter To A Five Month Old
| August 16, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Milestone Moments, Moments To Remember, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
My darling Aviya You’re five months old today. Five months. Five months. I say the words out loud and I struggle to believe them. I write them down and they look wrong, feel wrong. Where has the time gone?! Have I held on to enough? Can I recall your scent? Will the memory of your…
Dear Aviya – Letter To A Two Month Old
| May 19, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Squidgy, Milestone Moments, Motherhood, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Aviya When life revolved around just us and Ameli and work, I thought time went by so fast. Now I have you and Ameli and work and well, there just aren’t two empty seconds next to each other in the day. I don’t think I’ve ever worked this hard in all my life. I…
Dear Ameli – Letter to A Two Year Old
| October 4, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Letters to Ameli, Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
Dear Ameli I’ve started this letter to you so many times already, and keep deleting what I’ve written because what I’m writing just doesn’t quite match up to the intensity I’m feeling. This has been a full-on month in our story. You are two years old. We had a birthday party for you at home.…
Setting Up A Toddler Room
| April 21, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, Misc, On Mama's Mind, Sponsored |
Well, from the back of the room somewhere, I can just about hear a voice going, “So what’s the big deal? It’s not like you’ve never done this before!†And that would be rather the point. We have never done this before. We did try to set up a nursery. I painted Peter Pan pictures,…
Happy Christmas! Baby’s first…

Okay, I know… To Ameli, this was just another day, but for us, it was lovely. We woke around 9am, probably the last time we’ll get to sleep that late on Christmas day for some time, and dressed her in her Christmas dress.
Contented Christmas
| December 20, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
So there I was, hair done, make-up on, feet becoming reacquainted with heels, handbag at the ready and putting my little girl down from her final feed. Pick up my phone to check the time, and notice a message. Listen in anticipation. Girls’ night out is a bust. Something’s come up with one, the other…
On Red Tape and Checklists
| December 2, 2009 | Posted by Luschka under Milestone Moments, On Mama's Mind |
A few weeks ago, Ameli and I returned to our embassy to register her birth and request her passport. After the madness of our first trip, I was well prepared for this one. Forms completed and signed, photographs taken, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, a bottle of expressed milk, nappies, a book to read… what…
A few weeks ago, Ameli and I returned to our embassy to register her birth and request her passport. After the madness of our first trip, I was well prepared for this one. Forms completed and signed, photographs taken, passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate, a bottle of expressed milk, nappies, a book to read… what could possibly go wrong?
