Something New...well apart from a large array of new gorgeous products we have and some new gorgeous gifts for purchasing with us in April, something new is that I have been thinking about trying again for baby #2 around the end of the financial year. tee hee.
I have been thinking that I am rather crazy as I run MoshiMoshi, do freelance graphic design work, work part-time for a medical college as a web publisher and look after a 10 month old and a husband (who is NEVER home due to his job) and a house. I'm sure I sleep somewhere in there...maybe?
Where would a new baby fit in?
I have been thinking of folding MoshiMoshi at the end of the financial year to make room for a new baby...but then I can't let go as Moshi is my baby. I've made more money this last quarter than ever before but with that comes added work which I love but HOW do you juggle that and 2 babies under 2?
Oooh...such a hard decision and every day I make up my mind and then the next day I change it. So confusing...

Something Old
Something old....hmmm...well, I've been looking back at old posts I made on the Business Mums Network Forum and the hopes and dreams I had for the company and how things have changed. I mean I am still following the general direction I always wanted but in a more realistic one way. I mean, common, I thought I'd be selling to all ends of the earth and juggling a baby (with EASE) and would have enough profit to buy a house on Noosa Sound - oh what a laugh - I could probably afford to rent a house for the night on Noosa Sound and not much else. ha ha. But I am happy with how far I've come...
I was also 14 weeks pregnant when I first joined the BMN, which now, as my daughter is 10 months, 1 week & 1 day old, seems like a lifetime ago.
Where did that time go? Life is amazing.

Why I Blog?
I have never had a blog before but decided through the help of the Business Mums Network that I should do one for MoshiMoshi.
I never thought I'd be able to keep it up to date but I have found my Business Mums Network Weekly Challenges quite addictive. I enjoy reading other Blogs as it motivates me to post on mine. For example, I just finished reading olibdesigns "why blog" blog and was instantly inspired to do mine.
So why do I blog, besides the personal satisfaction? To put content out there that may be interesting to others as well as to let those out there know that I am a real person, a real mother, a real wife, a real business person, and not just a baby clothing website.

Recipe Links
I love recipes. I'm one of those people who have about 100 cookbooks all doggy-eared on something I must make. The problem being is that I never seem to get back to it and when I do, I think "eww gosh, what was I thinking?"
Lately I've been finding sites online for recipes that I LOVE!! I only print them if I KNOW I'm going to make them and it seems to be a good system. Some of my favourite recipe sites include the good old Women's Weekly Recipe Finder, Cooks.com and Top Secret Recipes (home to Hard Rock Cafe's pig sandwich & other great rip-off recipes).
I use an online supermarket called Food Direct (as they deliver and carry the groceries up the stairs for me) and recently I found a really yummy recipe on there for Thai Banana Salsa. All I had to do was simply press "order ingredients" and it ordered them all for me so I knew that the salsa ingredients were on their way - no backing out now.

What Is Essential to Me
I've been thinking about this and gosh, it's been hard for me to decide but I think I'm going to have to go with my coffee machine - a DeLonghi Magnifica Automatic Cappuccino Machine.
I cannot live without it. It helps me start my day especially if my daughter has kept me up half the night. This machine is FULLY automatic...tells ME when it needs cleaning or filling, etc. It grinds its own beans or you can add pre-ground. AND it froths the milk (for coffees, tea or hot chocolates).
It's a very smart machine and one that I just simply depend on for myself, guests, clients, etc. I bought it for my husband for his 30th. It was slightly expensive but worth its weight in gold!
