HAPPY EASTER // This time last year my little babe

HAPPY EASTER // This time last year my little babes wasn’t walking...sooo I’ve been patiently waiting for this year to plan her very first Easter Egg Hunt (now that she’s *old enough* aka can walk + ok to eat chocolate lol). Her @jellycat_official bunnies may have helped her find the treats 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—> Swipe to see her little adventure 🐰🐣💛
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Morning snuggles in bed, story time, breakfast, a day with family friends, spa time, long strolls by the beach, seafood + all a girl could eat in chocolate. Ahhhh. I hope you have had a magic long weekend. May this season bring new beginnings, hope + inspiration #happyeaster bunnies xx

IWD21 // International Women's Day has always mean

IWD21 // International Women's Day has always meant something different for me each year. Not so much relating to the national or international theme, and more so related to 'where I'm at' in my stage of life; studying vs working, building a new career vs mastering a new one, in a healthy vs toxic relationship, before vs after a child, befriending my demons vs letting them control me, existing family/friends vs building a new network. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through every heartbreak, setback, ordeal or adversity, there has been an opportunity for me to make a change. In my home, in my workplace, in my family, in my friend circle - most importantly within myself. It hasn't always been easy, though it's always been worth it. Being a woman, and a mother, has encouraged me to focus on what challenges me - the person I was yesterday. Establishing new healthy habits + routines, constantly working on my mind, redefining my self worth, breaking cycles + healing, being happy in the moment... all daily rituals that take time and patience.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I am...28 months postpartum (with makeup and spray tan), #nofilter (no editing, no airbrushing)... loving my body for what I have created, choosing to block out toxic people and energy, choosing to be happy because I deserve it, and busy being a positive role model for my daughter. At only 2 years and 3 months, she too is a little wild flower with a lot of warrior underneath 💟 #shegotitfromhermama⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

LOVERS DAY // I almost forgot what it was like to paint my face with makeup and wear heels for a NIGHT out. Oysters, Japanese cuisine, wine & cocktails... who am I!!?? 😭🤣🤣 Full-time mama’ing is where my heart & soul is, though it’s really nice to get a baby sitter and have a break too 🥰😘💛 #happyvalentinesday #happygalentinesday xx

2020 - 2021 // What a year! Getting in early because I might only JUST make it to the kids fireworks at 9pm 😝 #mumlife
.
Things I learnt this year: patience is a necessary requirement for my soul to be at peace. Expressing constant gratitude (and also encouraging Penelope to do the same at any moment) is a direct link to pure, unfiltered happiness & contentment. What others do or say is not in my control, only my response to them is. Regular and consistent conversations with my inner dialogue, nurturing self love, is actually my superpower. Studying & learning about topics & processes that I haven’t had a great deal of healthy & positive exposure to is the only way for me to be at ease about making significant life choices & changes. For me this is: conversations about managing finances, more efficient ways to tidy & stay organised (I’m a solid #KonMari fan & it’s amplifying my choice of a minimalist lifestyle 🙌🏻✨) . Raising an independent & resilient child minus the generational curses that I’ve been raised with. Some deep stuff that will require constant attention behind the scenes.
.
We’re now at Day 15 of COVID lockdown restrictions here on the #NorthernBeaches (if you’ve just tuned in, yes - Christmas was ‘postponed’; might be ‘lit’ from 09Jan). When this ends, may we find that we’re more like the people we wanted to be, had hoped to be - and may be stay that way, better for each other because of the worst.
.
I’ll be kissing & cuddling my little Princess goodnight at 630pm with a champagne in hand (I know, who am I!!?? 🤣). Stay safe, kick those New Years Resolutions, create that work-life balance you’ve always wanted, enjoy the little things. HAPPY NEW YEAR friends & loves, make 2021 yours 💛 Kate xx

Ps: On the exterior - I’m EXCITED to be rocking into 2021 with a strong #BrowGame. Thank you @noush.eyecouture.brows ✨

ISO DIARIES // When they say ‘she never cooks’

ISO DIARIES // When they say ‘she never cooks’ it’s so true. I’ve never once cooked dinner in an evening gown!! Behold: ‘The Kitchen Series’ 💁🏼‍♀️🤪⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These latest COVID lockdowns here on the Northern Beaches have brought out my creative side. What’s a girl to do with: nice things + no where to go + a very upset toddler!? 💁🏼‍♀️👶🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Penelope has been sick for a few weeks now... What started as a runny nose developed into a chesty cough with a tonne of vomiting phlegm. A visit to our family GP to have her assessed (& tested for COVID, thankfully negative) and we were sent home with a course of antibiotics to treat her respiratory infection. Insert a long fortnight of tears, sleepless nights & thousands of mummy cuddles all hours. Bring on the cheers, giggles & laughter over tears any damn day, whatever it takes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who doesn’t feel better with a splash of makeup and a twirl in some flowing gowns!!? I have kept a very minimalist home since my (full time) modelling/pageant days, more so since I adopted the @konmari.co method this year too. I did keep a few evening gowns that #sparkjoy - this one for the vast array of colour. I purchased this originally for the ‘Singapore Sling’ Officers Ball at RAAF Base Darwin in 2009... #postbaby fits like a glove, and made cooking, well, FUN!! 🥳✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel a few more dress up sessions are in order. What do you think!? What have you been doing in lockdown!? Xx⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ps: Christmas has JUST been cancelled for us here on the Northern Beaches. We can’t travel to see my family and it’s devastating. Most importantly - stay safe. Reach out if you need to, you’re not alone 💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
