TWO // Where has the time gone!!?? 😭 HAPPY BIRT

TWO // Where has the time gone!!?? 😭 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet as can be Penelope Perfect 👶🏼🥰 Today, two years ago, she entered the world in her own time... 17 hours of labour, 2 hours pushing to a then (very immediate) emergency c-section at 2am... and she’s marched to her own beat ever since 💛
.
Bubbly, curious, affectionate, sassy, and an avid Baby-Shark groupie - I’m so proud of the little lady she is becoming and so blessed she chose me to be her Mamma Bear Xx
.
—> swipe to see a few of my memorable moments from her delivery 👶🏼✨ #twoyearsold #happybirthday

FESTIVITIES // It’s beginning to look a lot like

FESTIVITIES // It’s beginning to look a lot like CHRISTMAS 🎄💛 Getting ahead of myself this year... the tree & decorations went up before my usual 01Dec deadline 🤭 Blush & rose gold has been good for the last 3 years - and now I’m going for a Hampton’s theme (blue baubles thanks to @kmartaus).
.
I started a new family tradition when Penelope was born; contributing to the @kmartaus Wishing Tree would be a regular feature in our festive preparations. Christmas to me is about GIVING, especially to those in need.
.
Now that Penelope is a little older I have to start hiding her gifts that I’ve already wrapped - calling all parents - where is a good place to hide things from curious toddlers!!??

REMEMBRANCE DAY // For the fallen: Honour their Spirit. For my Grandfather who served in WWII, Vietnam & Korea.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For the men & women – past & present – who serve our great country in conflict & peacekeeping operations in the @royalaustraliannavy @australianarmy and ausairforce.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

For my esteemed work colleagues, mentors and friends in the @airforcecadets and @ausairforce, and those Cadets who I have been privileged to mentor the last 15 years - many whom have gone on to join our Defence Forces.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month #WeRememberThem 🌹#LestWeForget

MAMA + MINI // The only thing missing from my came

MAMA + MINI // The only thing missing from my camera roll (of a bazillion photos of Penelope) is me!! 😭 I booked in a session with @felicitycookphotography, we hit the beach for a 30min ‘mama + mini’ shoot - and WAHLAHHH! Penelope can be so shy, and it turns out she’s a natural around Felicity, bless ☀️ Absolutely love the collection we shot, and now I have some beautiful family photos to cherish forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SELF CARE // Sometimes the life of the party, most

SELF CARE // Sometimes the life of the party, most times a happy recluse (at home, enjoying my little Penelope’s toddler antics). Oh how COVID-19 has been a mixed feeling of overwhelm (I miss my family & friends) and silver linings (actually, I quite like being on my own). Had I not already adjusted to being a #stayathome Mum, I know the ‘isolation’ would have had a very different affect on me, so I feel #blessed that I was already accustomed to ‘being a homebody’ vs going to an office with a full-time (paid) job, places to be and people to see.
.
I have started to catch up with my best friends for the first time in 6 months. Also noteworthy - I went to the hair dressers...
.
OMG I feel like a NEW WOMAN!! In walked cave-man Kate and out walked this fresh, preened Mamma. Ahhhh #selfcare feels AMAZING. And elegant.
.
Tell me, what do you do for YOU!!? 💁🏼‍♀️💙 #sparkjoy ✨

FRIDAY NIGHT // I adore her infectious smile & gig
