Well it seems we have all been quite busy

Christopher's naming day went fantastically, i still promise to post the ceremony for you.
I performed the ceremony my self which i was so nervous about but I'm so glad i did it.

Our Lovely Katie (Love2B) is awaiting the birth of her beautiful bub, She is now 2 days past her due date.
I will up date as soon as i hear anything.

I have been hard at work re designing www.designedwithlove.com.au and with any hope it will all be updated very soon.

I am going to make a better effort to post for you.
There will be an up date once a week from now on (even if it is just my blabbering LOL )

So tell me what would you like to know/read/see?
The aim of our blog is to find helpful info for YOU.

Mays a busy month

well with less than 6 weeks until we leave our little boy for the first time with anyone, I have mixed emotions - we have been by his side for the past 8 months. I think all 3 of us (inc hubby) are ready. We have 2 weddings coming up in May for the same bunch of friends, which means 2 dresses! aarrrhh. I know i should be excited, which i am i guess, but i have enough trouble finding 1 dress, let alone 2. So today we set off to our two big shoppings centres about 30 mins away. We found 1 in particular, alittle bit more $$ than we wanted to spend, but i guess i can justify it, 'IF' i wear a dress in the cupboard to the other wedding.

Since im still feeing our son, i never get into very fashionable underwear these days, and since he wont be coming to the weddings, i can wear something other than a maternity bra. So of i trotted with my convertible (not that its very fashionable) bra to the change rooms, invidently, my puppies are no longer the same size they use to be before having Jett. Im sure im not the only one that would have thought of squashing those pups into a ill-fitting bra for one night to save a few bucks on a new bra.

A wrong fitting bra can cause all sorts of problems for a woman, let alone a nursing one. From neck and back pain to damaging milk ducks for us breastfeeding mummas. There are usually bra fitting consultants at most speciality lingerie stores. Get fitted correctly, as our body changes so do our breast sizes, so its particularily important for mums to be and nursing mums to be fitted correctly on a regular basis.

Naming Day

2008-03-12T12:37:00.000-07:00

I have quite a job on my hands at the moment, Chris's Naming day.
Whilst looking online for inspiration i have discovered that there is very little information about naming days any wear.
I have decided to conduct the ceremony myself and am currently working on what i am going to say, searching for readings to suit and also trying to work out how to cater for my guests at my husband's family's farm.

over the next few weeks i will share with you the ceremony i have planed as well as some poems and readings that i find.

hear are the invitations that i created for my beautiful boy's Jungle themed Naming day

Introducing Love 2B

2008-03-09T07:11:00.000-07:00

Hi my name is Katie & I'm a new Mum 2B.

I'm still baking my little mini with around 5 weeks to go!

I was married on the 18th February 2005, for the hen's night I tried to find some diamond bride and bridesmaid singlets that didn't cost a fortune. In the end I decided to make my own.
The night was so much fun and the girls loved their singlets we wore them while getting ready the morning of the wedding & also the day afer the wedding at breakfast.

After the wedding I applied my love for fashion & passion for weddings...Love 2B Clothing was born!
Love 2B Clothing is about celebrating the momentous occasions in your life, expressing your personal style without having to pay a fortune to do so.
www.love2bclothing.com.au

After the wedding the journey continues & so will Love 2B Clothing.
This year I will be adding our new maternity range & infant range.

Online shopping is on it's way.

Much Love 2B
Katie xx

About me

2008-03-08T21:16:00.000-08:00

Like Kim, Im also a new mum and a new business owner. I gave birth to a gorgeous little boy on 3rd August 2007 called Jett.
Getting Married and having my little boy has been the inspiration to become a work-at-home-mum (WAHM).

I was married on 18th March 2006, when planning my wedding I found it difficult to find comfortable and affordable bridal lingerie, eventually I found what I was after, but paid way over budget.
Again when pregnant with Jett, I found maternity/nursing bras were also scarce in my size and budget.
I had decided that I was going to become a WAHM and in February 2008, http://www.bras4u2.com.au/ was launched.
I am finding the next stage of my life being as 'an online business owner' very exciting.
