A place for a baby

Yesterday Tom & I took Peter in to town with us. We have to take public transport around which is a bit daunting with a stroller/pram so at this point we are carrying him in a couple different slings.  All went well on the way in and Peter enjoyed his time at the Starbucks.

However, after his nap, he woke up in the middle of a gigantic shopping centre in need of a change and very hungry. We went looking for a place to change him and perhaps sit down and feed him. Sadly we couldn't find a change table and ended up with a really angry upset & hungry little one.

In the end  he did get a change and then was fed as we walked around the shops as there was no place to sit down. People stare at us all the time now and especially Tom carrying a big blue sling with one tiny foot poking out the edge.

We have become so aware how difficult it is for the elderly, disabled, pregnant & families with children to travel in the city. There are stairs everywhere with no option of a ramp, lift or alternate route.

What are Tom, Christy & Peter Doing?

We are volunteering full time for an organisation with the aim to help the poor and disadvantaged of this world.

We live entirely on financial gifts given to us by friends and family that want to help in the work we do.

Site of the Month

It has been more than a month since site of the month was updated, but this month we bring you Cake Wrecks. As Christy is quite the baker we've enjoyed seeing how cakes can, and do, go horribly, horribly wrong.
