My kingdom for a gig writing a TROLL 2 reboot

Lol. For the first year of getting baby books out, I cleaned every board book page with a sanitising wipe. Then my kid started daycare and I realised everything was going to be gross all the time anyway, haha!

My toddler found a book where you hunt for a picture of a poop and was screaming "POO-POO, [WHERE] ARE YOUUUUU?" at the library recently, and we still go.

Really disconcerting to get a Civil Defence weather warning at the same time Mr Whippy starts playing his song on my street

Sick of toddler only wanting plain pasta > put a sneaky veggie sauce on it > toddler dips pasta in water cup > toddler eats plain pasta

🤷🏻‍♀️

Happy Easter Monday/daylight savings day 2, I’ve been up since 4:45am with the toddler who has already accidentally given me a fat lip with a toy car 😂

Just posting this here now so I can repost it when there's another article tomorrow about some brave Kiwi egging it immediately

Reminder that you do not have to wait until Sunday to eat chocolate. You can, and should, start immediately.

Have you read Neal Stephenson's Seveneves 😅

The best place to store 5 different versions of Nine Inch Nail's "Hurt" as a teen 👍

I excitedly taught my toddler that "the easter bunny brings chocolate", then arrived at daycare where they were setting up for an egg hunt... and the eggs were PAPER 🤦‍♀️

Luxon says fuel crisis not Covid 2.0: 'People are not going to be sitting at home baking sourdough'

Yes, because we cannot afford the petrol to get to the supermarket, OR the ingredients at the supermarket 🫠

Having a toddler = referring to the coming winter as “nose season”

Walking to daycare to save petrol but stopped for a coffee on the way, negating that 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂

A hobbit hole kennel for dogs

Finally an affordable home for Kiwi creatives struggling to find work

Look I know we’re all alarmed about the cost of beef but I just realised I paid $4.40 for a 300ml bottle of Coke 😵‍💫

I want that for you too!

346 is the highest in my 'burb!

My toddler keeps asking for an Obama. I need to remember that is his word for "umbrella", rather than his political agenda.

Before I had a toddler I would’ve thoughts kids books about a “Diggersaurus” were ridiculous. Now I’m like: holy shit that person is a genius

Really enjoyed being in WGTN for a few days, I just love it here - a lot of games of “is that place still there or is the sign just still there” though 😂

When will I learn that “return one library book, get 3 more out” is not sustainable for my bedside table

When I submit a big funding proposal I like to just go and look at the "We have received your application" email over and over to re-feel the deep sense of being fuckin' DONE

Accidentally made a gender binary cake for my son's 2nd birthday because he asked for "blue" and I forgot we were doing windshield wafers 😅

My mum thinks hers might too and is going to check and possibly bring them all the way up from Dunedin, haha! It's **important** :)

Yeah no go on Woolworths here unfortunately, and I did see the Lollyshop ones but then gave up and asked here in case anyone knew somewhere I would've have to pay shipping 😂

Am I absolutely ancient for thinking black liquorice straps were still an easy thing to get?? Apparently not, and I need to find 'em in Auckland for a hugely important reason (2nd birthday cake in shape of a car 😂)

Wishing I was in Mosgiel to have a haggis with my family to celebrate my grandfather's **97th!!** birthday. The same thing we did for his 70th when I was just a lil kid, thinking to myself "Man he's old!" way back then <3

Reminds me of when Dick Smith electronics did a Mother's Day promotion called "Tickle her pink!" 🥴
