Post Baby Weight and Burnt Apples!

Baby food, baby food, baby food...I live it, I eat it, I smell like it and I'm always wiping it down off some strange surface! I now feel like I am some kind of guru on baby food. And that is why I have two hot tips! Firstly….an episode of The Hills is not worth watching if it means that the two kilos of apples that I lovingly washed, peeled and chopped is burning on the stove…or caramelising if we want to use a nicer word. The house smelt for two days and Kayden had to resort to jarred apples…and then no apples as I am yet to get to the food shopping! Bad, Bad Mummy!!

Speaking of Kayden! Look who is sporting the latest delivery for My Friend Matilda! I chose the print for Kaydens nappy covers myself! I was quite impressed with how they turned out, what do you think? If you would like one for your tot, you can order them here

 Speaking of food shopping, it will be a little different today when Kayden and I hit up Woolies as I will be only shopping for the boys! As most of you know, our wedding is coming up in a couple of months and its time to get down to business…I am jumping on the Lite ‘N Easy bandwagon and am going to give their food plan a try. I would feel more comfortable a couple of kilos lighter and at this very busy time in my life..I don’t feel that I could cope with counting points (which worked wonders for me in the past) or weighing out portion sizes.

I did lose quite a bit of my baby weight as soon as Kayden was born but I will also be honest, I didn’t panic too much as I had the excuse of “oh I’ve just had a baby people will understand” but the fact these days is my baby is no longer tiny..he is massive and I still feel slightly massive myself.

I actually felt the most comfortable in my body when I was pregnant. I didn’t have to suck my tummy in and I could comfortably wear tight tops. Although, there was this one incident in the shower towards the end of the pregnancy when I cried my eyes out because I was so fat I couldn’t shave my own legs. Mike suggested I sit on the shower floor to do it and I remember howling at him “But how do you suggest I get off the floor again!!!”

I can’t blame the weight on Kayden though, when I finally figured out I was pregnant..I went for gold. Didn’t hold back. I wanted everything sweet and salty. I heard Chrissy on channel Ten’s “The Circle” the other day speaking about when she was pregnant she was finally comfortable in her own body and ate guilt free. My theory was that your already fat so extra weight will go unnoticed. I’m not stupid, I knew that I would have to deal with the weight once Kayden was born but I had visions of the weight dropping off after each time Kayden would breastfeed….BA BOW!!!
 So tomorrow my package will be delivered and we will see how I go! I will keep you posted on my little journey!


Things have been busy at My Friend Matilda the last couple of weeks. Customers are snapping up all the bargains we are currently offering in July and I am having a ball sitting in my office each evening once Kayden has gone to bed and wrapping or placing more stock orders.
  
We have just been approved to sell personalised dog and cat collars which is exciting. Young Matilda..is known for her escape attempts so we will be sure to be ordering her a collar tonight! Check them out here! So cute!!

 Don’t forget we have a sale on the tutus at the moment. Now only $32. We have five left so get them while they last.

This morning we got our shipment of bib and place mat sets. You can buy these for $25 here. Available in a variety of designs.
 That is all for now. Off to do the food shopping then meeting my girlfriend Lauren (and maid of honour) for coffee and a catch up
