Stories of love, life and Luke. Sunday, 18 November 2012. So it's 5am and I've been up since 4. The lucky part means my body kind of still says its 8am Melbourne time so it's actually a sleep in. Seems the humidity helps Luke sleep so that's a bonus. Now we're standing outside watching the sunrise and making Ketut remarks. I haven't landed as an international passenger in Denpasar for a while. The queue for the Visa on Arrival was huge but I managed to get in the queue quickly. Meanwhile the rest...I had...

Stories of love, life and Luke. Wednesday, 7 August 2013. I'm slowly getting over my fear of flying. The latest trip home. Required me to fly from Melbourne to Adelaide, then Mildura to Melbourne. It's safe to say that boarding calls are my weakness. While I'm nothing like I was, there is still an element of fear there. But instead of my mind going a thousand miles an hour, it's my body. My mind is sound, my body. speeds up it's metabolism. Please tell me I'm not alone here). Getting him on for free!

Stories of love, life and Luke. Tuesday, 26 February 2013. Parenting. It's not rocket science. We read the books. Our babies do not" - Spirit Led Parenting. The only text book I'll be studying for a while. I picked up a book from the library about weening and it had a bit about sleep (goodness knows why, this was a book on weening for goodness sake). Who is it who writes these books? It took me to be a blubbering mess in a doctors waiting room with a one month old colicky baby for me to realise that ever...

Stories of love, life and Luke. Friday, 28 September 2012. Five Minute Friday: Grasp. Fridays are usually for rejoicing. Friday is the day I often will take Hendrik to the station and pick him up again as we swing by and get take away. Friday I usually get a cute picture of Luke and put it up on instagram with the hashtag #tgif. This morning I woke up and the weather was gloomy. Typically Melbourne, yesterday was sunny. By 9:00am there were thunder storms and in the afternoon torrential rains. Tuesday, 2...

Stories of love, life and Luke. Monday, 22 April 2013. Live Below the Line: Team LoveLifeLuke. Here's a picture of me in a Hoodie hiding most of my face due to coming down with my yearly Autumn snuffles and looking gross. But really, don't pay any attention to my hoodie, pay more attention to what I'm holding. From May 6th to 10th I will be living below the poverty line on $2 a day. Yes, that means my daily coffee of $3.50 will have to cease for 5 days. Live Below The Line. And a journal I'm reflecting on.

Stories of love, life and Luke. Friday, 2 August 2013. You probably already know this, but I grew up in the country. Many people assume that I was brought up in Bendigo because that's where I associate a lot of my fun times and friendship groups. Although Bendigo is country, think even more country. My home town is seven hours away from Melbourne. It's literally in the middle of nowhere. Leading up to this trip I wasn't really looking forward to going back in time. As I continued to cruise around the str...

Stories of love, life and Luke. Monday, 22 July 2013. My baby is sixteen months old today. My baby. It's such a wonder to watch him grow. Wonder as I'm sometimes confused as to how he comes up with some of the things he does. Finger foods are the biggest thing at the moment. When I hand him a slice of apple he says "key". I've been at a loss to work out where he got this from, so I googled how to say thank you. In a high pitched voice. Oh, shoes! In a voice of adoration. At sixteen months I'm still breas...

Stories of love, life and Luke. Wednesday, 28 August 2013. So, I speculated recently on Facebook that I had some exciting news. It's not a new pet. Not to Adelaide, Pinnaroo, Jakarta or even house. We are moving here. Yes, I went out and did what all the cool kids do and bought a domain name. And I'm starting a new journey that I never thought I would: I've changed Blogging platforms from Blogger. If you click the about. Section of my new blog you will learn why I use the alias Samiati. All said and done.

Stories of love, life and Luke. Friday, 16 August 2013. Ever since I can remember, I've been the fat kid. I always felt like I was the biggest in my class all through primary and high school. I was never the athletic kind, and really struggled to keep up in PE classes. My self esteem was pretty much at zero. I'd like to turn back the clock and tell my teenage self that I wasn't as disgustingly fat as I thought I was. Then I picked up this book. Called Made to Crave. I have so much to say about this book,...
