How I did it
How to breastfeed my baby for at least one year
It took me
365 days
It made me

How I did it: In the beginning breastfeeding was hard - I was nursing on demand which in real terms meant once an hour through the day and every 2 hours through the night. Then we got thrush at about 8 weeks - painful and incredibly hard to get rid of. But I persevered despite many people in my life (mostly formula feeders) telling me I should stop.Well I didn't at 14 months later we are still nursing four or five times a day. Little Dude is night wean… Read how I did it…

How to give 1000 cheers
It took me
2 years
It made me
Cheer-ful! Geddit?

How I did it: I cheered whenever I had cheers. I cheered every comment that moved me, every goal that seemed inspired and pretty much everyone who is quitting smoking :) Read how I did it…

Overcome my fear of driving
After much searching

I have found the PERFECT driving instructor. She is lovely – kind and knowledgeable and she deals exclusively with people who suffer from driving phobias and other disorders such as ADD. I booked the first session with her for Friday. I am nervous and excited right now – I am so hopeful that she will be able to help me. Although I guess I am finally going to have to learn how to drive stick as that is the vehicle she uses.

Oh well, if she can get me driving she can teach me anything.

Daily: Reflect on 5 things for which I'm grateful. (read all 89 entries…)
9th November 2010

1. That I found an awesome driving instructor who deals with people who are ADD and phobic – what a brave lady

2. That Little Dude said his first animal sound – he can now caw like a crow :)(long story involving his current favorite book)

3. For government forms being available online – no waiting or queuing or dealing with obnoxious beauracrats.

4. For bubble baths, face masks and time to pamper oneself

5. For homemade soup when the waether is cold, grey and stormy.
