Frocktober 2013 Day 8 - A meeting of yummy mummies

Tuesday is the day I meet with other yummy mummies in my local area.

Whoever established the mother's group system deserves some sort of prize. It is a great way to meet new people, share stories and just get out of the house. I was sceptical at first and trotted out my usual line of 'I have enough friends', but I love all the ladies in my group and am so glad to have made the effort to go.

That means today requires more effort than yesterday's no fuss outfit. We're looking for a casual brunch look.

Mini Me is wearing another pink outfit in anticipation of seeing her little friends (which she actually doesn't see and generally ignores them. She much prefers hanging with us oldies).

Kicking her feet in excitement

I'm wearing the green multi print dress and teamed it with a scarf, cream jacket, scarf and my never fail cowboy boots.

A layered look

This is an experiment in layering. Just keep chucking on accessories and the outfit is bound to look different... right?

Frocktober 2013 Day 7 - Pyjama Day

One of my very good mummy friends said 'once a week you should have a pyjama day'.

It's a day to lounge around at home, do nothing, see no one and let the little one chill out.

Monday is good day for it, especially if Mini Me had a big weekend. It's the baby's equivalent to a two-day hangover. And yesterday's engagement party was a big one. So many faces, so much noise, so many things to look at it. It was a sensory binge.

Frocking and PJ's doesn't mix... lucky Mini Me can wear anyone of her pyjamas. And today she's our little tree frog in green.

Bake Test: Hummingbird Bakery blueberry muffins

Forget flowers, when I had Mini Me food was the best gift of all.

I didn't cook for the first two months. Mostly because I cooked like I was preparing my bunker in anticipation of a nuclear attack before she was born, but my wartime stock was supplemented by a stream of macaroons, cheeses, sushi, curries (which on the spicy end of the spectrum) and other deliciousness from visiting guests.

The best were those that cooked dinner for me, or food that went in the freezer.

That's why food is my new gift to mummies continuing Perth's baby boom.

Mummy L is the latest with long and lean 3-week old Baby A. With the frozen veggie soup in hand (good for nutrients and to eat one handed while feeding) I wanted to give her a little treat and cook another Hummingbird Bakery recipe as part of my 101 in 1001.



Almost a perfect match to the picture

Frocktober 2013 Day 6 - Lazy Sunday

With day two of the killer cold, getting out of bed was an absolute struggle, let alone thinking about what to wear.

So I spent the morning in a mix between yesterday and today's outfit and Mini Me in her purple pyjama onesie. We look like rainbow hobos.

A lazy Sunday start to the Frocktober day

Frocktober 2013 Day 5 - Sick as a dog but we frock on

After a week of flirting with me, this cold mauled me last night. It's not pretty.

Neither is the saying 'sick as a dog'. Firstly, dogs are rarely sick. Secondly, when they are they throw up and eat it. Why would anyone want to be as sick as that. And why do all of my Frocktober posts mention vomit. Mental note: try to not mention vomit in tomorrow's post.

Despite feeling like a Mac truck has hit me and my nose rivals Niagara Falls, we frock on. Remember, it's for a good cause. And if you like this on Facebook or enjoy reading this, maybe you should donate :) Here is the link: https://frocktober.everydayhero.com/au/two-chicks-and-a-baby

Mini Me was perplexed. She couldn't remember who had gifted her this jailbird outfit. Possibly Miss Lou's mum?



Why can't I remember the name?
