I’m about two weeks late on this post, but given this is the new ‘normal’ for the next 13 years, I’m relatively punctual actually 🙂 Two weeks ago, Sam started school. In NSW it’s kindergarten, but I think in other Australian states it’s known as prep. Basically, it’s the year before Year 1.

When I woke up today, it was announced to me that I have a four year old (by said four year old)! It’s actually kind of crazy that four years ago, I became a mother – it feels like just yesterday, and yet it feels like forever at the same time.
I can hardly believe that today, two years ago, this tiny little bundle came into my life. She was a teeny tiny little pink ball, trying so very hard to open her eyes to see the world she’d been thrusted into. To this day, every night (and probably forever) I still tell her she’s my angel, my baby bunny, my beautiful girl.
It’s been about six months since I started down this Yumbox rabbit hole. Am I getting better at it? That I don’t know, but one thing’s for sure – my stash of bento accessories is very quickly consuming precious real estate in my kitchen cupboard! And it’s ALL WORTH IT.
I’ve been giving Sam more treats lately. Not every day and certainly not every meal, but you know, I’m like he’s three, almost three-and-a-half. He can have a damn cookie. So he gets treats like Tiny Teddies, Hello Panda and the occasional Ferrero Rocher (only when he’s been very very good mainly because that’s my treat).
Thursday is my favourite day of the week. Every day has its own merits – Mondays to Wednesdays I have no kids, sometimes I’m working, often I catch up with friends and eat ice cream. So by all means, they’re good days. Fridays I have both kids (read: hectic) but we also have our regular FriYAY playdate so that’s fun. Saturdays and Sundays need no explanation. But Thursdays are my favourite, and they’re the ones I spend with Sofi.
