Good bye 2011

What a wonderful year 2011 has been for me! I have experienced the birth of my third daughter, the most amazing time of my life! The birth was so relaxed and nothing I had experienced before!!
Made a marriage milestone of 5 years and today shared 10 years of being together!
But amongst all that, we've also overcome illness, battled family issues, financial issues and still made it out with a smile on our dial!!
So as we say adios 2011, and remember all that it held, good and bad, I'm excited as to what the New Year brings! With plans in place for a new business venture and a new blog, I know that I will not be bored!!
So much love to everyone, and I hope you have had a wonderful New Years and also remained safe wherever you may be!! Enjoy what the year is to bring xxx

Wow ... Christmas

Another Christmas is over! That's it now for Christmas 2011, the presents are all handed out, santa's been and too much food has been eaten!!

What a day! What a lead up!! As I previously mentioned, Miss 8 is starting to not believe in Santa but Miss 2 is right in the midst of it! The presents, decorations, lights and love, this little angel loves Christmas more than she loves me!! Lol! But it certainly makes it all worth while when she came racing into our room at 6am screaming excitedly "IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!! It's Christmas day!!"

We took them all down stairs to have wrapping paper torn off presents, bows and tags and presents as far as the eye can see!! The girls with their glowing faces, standing at the window saying "Thank you Santa!!! Thank you sooooo much!!" as loud as they can!!

Then we make the trip to the in-laws house where breakfast is served and more presents are shared!! We were delightedly greeted by hubby's sister who had surprised everyone by flying in from Margaret River, enough to bring a tear to everyone's eye!

After lunch a much needed sleep is in order, after the house is cleaned from top to bottom first!! Sadly, poor old mum didn't get the sleep times right with my two little ones and misses out on a nap!! But that's ok, nothing a good stiff drink can't fix! Oh my, did I forget to mention the ridiculous amount of rain we received on our beautiful summers day?!? We thankfully missed the worst of it though, just put a dampener on the day 😉 and meant the kiddies who weren't sleeping had to return in doors and leave their sparkling new Powerwing Scooters behind!! We did however receive calls and messages from family with descriptions of wild weather and oversized hail that had damaged their cars and windows and shelters that hd been set up for dinner that night!!

Despite the partially flooded streets and lightening that cracked above, we all packed up our cars with presents and food (wine is a food group on Christmas day yeah?) and made our way to the uncles house to celebrate a little more with the extended family! And that means more presents, more kisses and a lot more people talking! Miss 6mths nearly went into melt down!! Even Miss 2 found it very overwhelming! Walking into a Maltese celebration at the beat of time is noisy, but for some reason this year was exceptionally noisy!! Everyone laughing and hugging and kiddies telling stories of what was left under the tree! Seemed almost as though there were 100 people in that room, well, it wouldn't have been far off it!! Lol!

Eventually, the day comes to an end. We attempt to fit more toys in the car, unsuccessfully we then move onto Nunna's car! Then make the trip home! We all creeped into bed and slept for what felt like 5 minutes before the kids are in our room again telling me the sun is up!! All I can say is ... Thank god for Nick Jr!!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you had a wonderful time with those that mean the most to you and may you remain joyful and safe coming into the New Year!

Thank you for a wonderful year xxx

Quick trip to emergency

Got to love when you go to the local GP because little miss 6mths has a puffy eye, only to then be referred to the emergency department!! Great!! Been here for an hour so far ... Still haven't seen anyone yet!!!
Thankfully our trip wasn't too serious! With only a couple of days until Christmas, sitting in the emergency room at our local hospital is the last place anyone would want to be!!
But with the doctors under staffed and the waiting rooms filled, they worked through the queue so efficiently and happily!! We had the loveliest doctor who made the time to laugh and play with all three girls!!
Thankfully my Little Miss had only scratched the white of her eye and there was nothing seriously wrong!! I'm just glad our GP was good enough to say I'm concerned please go to the hospital instead of just prescribing her drops and sending us on our way!

Welcome & What Is Middle Class Mamma's?!?

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to stop past and read my new blog, Middle Class Mumma's! I'm so excited with my new venture and I hope you enjoy it too! To start, Middle Class Mumma's is not a whine about how hard done by I am, or showing off what I have to the world, but a journey of discovering what is out there in this world that is suitable for an average family! And there is nothing wrong with an average family that's for sure! Allow me to introduce myself! I'm Hayley, a 29 year old mother to three daughters - Miss 8, Miss 2 & Miss 6 months! I have been married to my wonderful hubby for 5 years and been together for 10!! I am a Dental Nurse by trade but a stay at home mummy at the moment and hubby is an Electrician - Two Seven Electrics - so we are a text book version of a Middle Class Family! Sadly we aren't filthy rich, having our children driven to school, but we aren't struggling either! We have a lovely home in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria in a lovely neighborhood, and I'm sure the 30 other houses on the street would agree! So as a non working mum with three daughters we enjoy all the fun bits; Miss 8 does ballet, swimming and piano! Miss 2 does dancing and swimming and kinder Miss 6mths is sending us broke with her milk addiction! So that's us! As I said we are a your average family, someone you see at the shops or at the local restaurant, so please feel free to email me you questions for us to post or leave some feedback! I hope to have some wonderful competitions and trials up soon, so please follow to stay in the loop!! 💗 love life how it should be ... Completely 💗

Where have you been!

Hello again!!!! I'm back! So sorry for the lack of contact of late, sadly I haven't been too well late and have been focusing mostly on getting better and my beautiful family!!! So when I say I have been unwell, it wasn't anything too serious! I was recently diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic Syncope! Big words that mean I pass out!! Since N3 was born I was having the odd fainting attack here and there, coming into late September - early October they were happening every couple of days!! And they would hit with no warning! Hubby had been nagging me to see a Dr but as a mum of three you tend to not have that much time on your hands! It wasn't until I passed out in the carpark of our local shopping centre, that I got enough of a fright that we went straight to the emergency department! They did tests that were inconclusive, as did my GP, I was starting to wonder if they were believing me!! Thankfully my concerned GP referred me to a Neurologist and he picked it up straight away! For those who have never heard of Neurocardiogenic Syncope, it is fault in the brain where the brain forgets to send a message to the arteries and in turn they expand and the blood flows too quickly resulting in me passing out! Very interesting how your body works!!! Thankfully there is medication to control it and I have been able to return to a normal life!! Thanks for the catch up and you'll be hearing more from me now!! Look forward to the future! 💗 love life how it should be ... Completely 💗

Does my butt look big

I bet everyone who reads this has at some point put on those jeans or pants that you haven't worn for ages because you know they just don't fit, only to turn to your partner or friend and say do these make me look fat?? Why is it that we only do this on days we are feeling down? 5 years ago, prior to given birth to my last 2 children, I bought a pair of tight legging-like Nike trackies. They became my working in the garden pants or my painting pants, or let's do the house work pants!! I haven't worn these pants since N2 was born (but after 3 years of not wearing them they still hang in my wardrobe! But that's another story!!) and for some reason while I was having my down day yesterday, I decided to put them on so I could work out in the garden! I took one look in the mirror and burst into tears!!! So needless to say, I start back into my fitness regime tomorrow (Monday) cos isn't that the day to start?!? I know though that I do need to get back out there and tidy myself up, especially if Fiji or Thailand is on the cards for New Years!!!!! Whoop whoop!! I'm very excited! It is with the outlaws and co but it will be a great time I'm sure!! Lots of sun, sand and shopping, my 3 favorite S's!! I need to find out where all the kid friendly spots are though, so feel free to share any ideas!!

Long time between drinks!

Hello there!! Sorry for the delay in writing! It has been a while! But we have had sick kids, sick hubby ... And NO SLEEP!!!!! Yay! Welcome to the real world they say!! But we are getting there, kids are better, but hubby had kidney stones and have taken their toll on him I think, a lot of pain!! So sadly we haven't done much of late, except watch movies, eat our weight in popcorn and veg out!!!


But as you can see N1 is defiantly feeling better She is currently chasing me around the house trying to see what I am doing and trying to delete her pic!!!!!!


And there's N2 helping with the washing?!?!? HELP ME!!!! I'm under attack! The pair of them are now chasing me!!!!!!! ARGH!!!!! Well off to find a cool park today for the twirps to wear themselves out in! I have been using the Playground app to find new places to go, and last night found an adventure playground in St Kilda that looks exciting!! We will let you know how we go!!
