In what is hopefully my new fulltime life as a mum, and business manager (Husband and I both have our own business') I have been flatout!
I started going to a mothers group when baby was first born and we have kept meeting up for the last 5 months.
We meet up about once a week. I LOVE my mothers group. Some people have bad stories about bitchy experiences but our group is fantastic. I know I wouldn't have been able to thrive as well as I have if it wasn't for that group of women that I could call on for advice or just to ease my worries at times throughout the last 5 months.
Between that, catch ups with my other friends, looking after the business' and our little property I haven't had much time left over for blogging!
Everything on the manor is coming along nicely. I now have a little bit more time since baby sleeps regularly during the day and when she is awake she's happier to sit and play for a little while.
So my garden beds that have been laying dormant have been churned up and I have planted some seeds. The seedlings need to sprout before it starts getting too cold. We get frost here and no seedlings like frost!
Today I planted:
Zucchini
Mint
Pak Choy
Rocket (I am a bit concerned about the expired use by date on these seeds)
A city girl longing for the country but making do with the best of both worlds. Not quite country not quite city, this is the journey of us as we try to work our way to live 'off the grid' in the suburban world.

2 months after baby
So here I am, 3.5 months in from leaving conventional work, a 2 month old baby and a husband working for himself. We are still living at our little Manor and needless to say my veggie garden has long disappeared.
As my little cherub turns 2 months today and life is getting easier and more fun every single day I think to myself that I MIGHT start planting some seeds! The seed has been planted you might say hah hah. Husband has decided that we will be moving as soon as we can sell our house. Must put it on the market first me thinks. If we do move I have decided it will be to a slightly larger plot than what we have here. I want a dwarf goat yo! That will be our pay off.
Being a mum has been exactly as I expected it to be honest, excepting one thing. I didn't expect to fall as fiercely in love with my little babydoll as much as I have. I knew I would love her of course! But I didn't expect to feel a burning sadness in the pit of my stomach every time I had to leave her. I didn't expect to want other people holding her to hurry up and give her back as I missed her.
She is amazing and I am determined not to have to put her in full time daycare until she is a couple of years old. I understand that some people have no choice and that some mothers can't wait to to return to work-that is fair enough! But it's not for me hopefully. So to make this dream come true I am going to have to get a little crafty and start saving $. So I have returned to my blog once again to document my adventures. Here we go.
