The www.stuff.co.nz blogs
The lovely Rachel Goodchild has a link to our 30 day challenge in her latest blog post.
I love Rachel's writing style and her passion for her work. Check out her blog on www.stuff.co.nz and her Ask Rachel page.
The Stuff blogs are a perilous place and certainly not a domain for those without a thick-skin. One persons comment on Rachel's article refers to us:
"and the example of ms currie and her bellybeyond 30 day sex adventure is curious. is she trying to prove something by telling the world about it or is it just a marketing exercise for her website??
i bet mr bb is probably feeling used. he must hate himself!"
Hmm - a good example of someone not bothering to read what this is actually about. Still if the interwebs has taught me anything, it's that people are never slow to pass comment whether they be informed on the subject or not.

Sex every day for a month
What is this about? Read the original post here
There is no doubt that there is a spring in Mr Belly Beyond's step - men are such simple creatures when it comes down to it aren't they?
We've talked a lot about sex in the last 5 days and in particular the reasons why we don't get together as much as we'd like. Identifying and sharing those factors has obvious positive benefits and is something we should have done a long time ago. Mr BB says that he feels like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders because he doesn't spend his day mentally planning his "approach" to me, wondering if he'll get lucky tonight - he knows that it's highly likely! This doesn't mean he just turns up and expects to be attended to - he has started coming home in the mornings from the gym instead of going straight to work. He brings me a coffee, makes the kids lunches and gets them sorted for day thereby completely removing my morning stresses.
DAY FIVE
We watch the season premier of Underbelly, always a compulsive watch with a racy undertone and head to bed together. Fireworks result.

Amber Teething Necklace Feedback
I couldn't resist sending you an email about the teething necklace that we bought. I have to admit to being a bit skeptical but when at that time I was willing to try anything.
However, I'm just so incredibly pleased with the necklace - I now have my happy baby who sleeps well back again!!! Within an hour of having the necklace on her bright red cheeks had disappeared and she has just had 2 nights of sleeping a million times better than she has been doing! To top it all off, she's back to happily playing during the day so I can actually put her down and spend time with our 2 year as well!
Thank you so much,
Laura
And we've just added a new range of Amber bracelets - check them out here
Sex every day for a month
Read about the concept here
DAY THREE
First "work" day where the real world demands really start to encroach on our best intentions. It's freezing cold so we stay in the dining room where the heater is, once the kids are in bed.
DAY FOUR
Mr Belly Beyond surprises me by coming home from the gym instead of going straight to work. He brings coffee and is duly rewarded although I'm really more focused on the day ahead - whose idea was this again?

Sex every day for a month - can it be done?
When Mr Belly Beyond forwarded me through the link to the UK article, I couldn't help but think he was ever the optimist. But it got me thinking. We've just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and have two children under five. This coupled with my workaholic tendencies means time for him and I is rare these days.
So we've decided to give it a a try. We are realistic - I work upwards of 80 hours a week - a lot of that is clocked up at the weekend when he is home so that someone has an eye on the kids, and late into the night when the children are in bed. The English couple in the article didn't quite make the full tally and they didn't have the challenges and time constraints that come with parenting two energetic, curious and very early waking pre-schoolers!
I am going to track our progress on the blog. It's not going to be a sex dairy, this is a family show after all, so details will be deliberately kept to a minimum. I will focus instead on the changes we find in our relationship.
DAY ONE
Decision made. Our self imposed rule for this challenge is that it's counted if one of us has an orgasm. Mission accomplished x 2 then. DAY TWO
I found myself thinking about sex as I had a shower this morning. No, not like that - just working out how we are going to fit it in today and wondering whereabouts and when it would happen. It might sound rather unromantic to have to schedule in sex appointments but it was quite the opposite and yes, definitely appealed to my list-writing nature.
In the end we sneak away while the kids are watching a DVD.View the latest update
