🍃 Lil' Announcement 🍃 I love the 'gram and those I've connected with over the past year. HOWEVER, I'll be taking a mini break and uninstalling the app from my phone *gasp*. My church is initiating 40 days of prayer and fasting in the lead up to Christmas and the idea is to give up something that means something to you in order to focus on what really counts. I'll miss you guys (and my morning insta-story scroll) but I am looking forward to hopefully being a little more productive in all the down-time I'm bound to find! So yes, I'll be furiously scrolling tonight and then tomorrow my cute little boy and all that comes with him will be missing from your feeds for a bit. We will return - and I promise the blog will return with us! Maybe I'll find some actual time to write... See you in forty days when the weather is a lot warmer and I'm a lot rounder (you know... because preggo... and probably holiday food). ❤❤

Yep, still obsessed with aaaaalll the fruit and vege over here 🙌 I don't know if its pregnancy cravings or just the change of season... but all I want to eat is citrus for dayyyys and a big ol' salad for every single meal. In my first pregnancy, I just craved CARBS... a lot more than I usually do (which is already a lot), so perhaps I should be thankful for the cravings this time around? Mamas, did you find yourself craving anything in particular during your pregnancy/pregnancies? Should I be cheeky too and ask - was your baby a boy or girl? 🙊 Not that it makes any difference I'm sure... or does it? • • • #nzmama #pregnancycravings #nzmum #mummyblog #instamum #mumlife #preggo #14weeks
So this happy boy has had a few too many tantrums lately.... but let's focus on the smile, that laugh and the beautiful blue sky that I'm sure will be returning to Auckland real soon... • • • #happyboy #nzbaby #nztoddler #nzmum #nzmummy #mummyblog #mumblog #hapa #hapakid #beachboy
If you didn't know already, we're expecting! Here's my 13 week baby/food bump. We're due April 2019 💙🍃
This chap's favourite morning pass-time: climbing up onto our verandah chair and sitting to watch the morning unfold. • Whenever he was distressed as a young baby and I found myself at the end of my tether and unsure what else I could do, I'd take him out on to the verandah and we'd sit amongst the trees and the sky, watching the wind blow about the leaves. He'd calm almost instantly and I realised how amazing my surroundings actually were. • Nothing beats waking up and coming out to serenity, on a stunning day too of course. • This is probably the only time he'll sit still for longer than three minutes too 😂 • • • #nzlife #nzkid #nzbaby #nzmum #mumlife #serenity #childhoodunplugged #childhood
NEW BLOG POST // Ok but, how was it REALLY? Well, well, well... look what's finally back.... My blog! I've had a few people question the quality of our four week holiday. Surely the gram photos look great, right? But we all know gram is not reality. Between the sicknesses, grumpiness, ruined routines and teething (ALWAYS with the teething) we had a few rough moments, I'll be honest. But wow, did I learn lots! So I've compiled the best and worst things about travel with a (cheeky) toddler. Part one is up now, link in bio 🍃 • • • #travelbaby #travelfamily #taiwantravel #taiwan #nzmum #travelmum #mixedkid #hapa #euroasian
Hey Auckland, this weather looks pretty great on you 😎
Please bear with me as I put up a few final snaps from our time away 😎 • • • #spotthepun #babygram #mixedkid #hapa #hapakid #babiesofinstagram #euroasian #nzbaby #nzkid #bearhug
Happy Friday! 🍃 My mum has just taken Ashton out for a coffee date with her friends and I am STOKED. Let's hope it goes reeeeally well so she wants to do it all the time! Love you, @janbalderston ❤ Pic from our river cruise somewhere in Tainan, Taiwan 📸
We're coming home!! 🙌
Oh sweet child, how much you have grown this month! Ashton arrived in Taiwan quite literally finding his feet as he became more confident walking. Now he's basically running, dancing and my favourite (in most cases) exploring. That means taking 10 minutes to walk 10 metres. Cool.
