Before kids, I worked hard and played hard. I traveled far, furthered my education, read fiction books for fun and treated myself occasionally on a whim. I had time, money and energy. I cannot begin to fathom a time when I had space in my brain to ponder my very own BUCKET LIST. A “bucket…
WHEN A TAKEAWAY CURRY ISN’T ENOUGH : DATE CRATE TO THE RESCUE
*I was gifted the October Date Crate to review, but as always, I write what I think hence all opinions are my own. I totally shaved my legs, because romance is NOT dead in our home. Date night lives on, though it may have changed a little. Those nights of long and lavish restaurant meals…
CRUISING WITH KIDS; HOW ‘NOT’ TO DO IT.
So right now my fingers are twitching to post more cocktail, sunset and beach holiday photos to social media, along with quirky ‘best holiday ever’ comments to match. I want to confirm to you all that my hours (bloody HOURS!) of research and our final decision to embark on a cruise ship was the best…
A GOOD TIME NOT A LONG TIME
My four year old son is in love. No. I am absolutely serious. He denies they are simply friends. You see, he loves her. Though I have explained that he is allowed to have friends that are girls, it doesn’t have to mean she is his girlfriend. But no; it seems that she is. I…
HEAD TO THE BACK BEACH
Sand. Sand everywhere. Sand in places you don’t even want to know about. I do love Summer; the smell of BBQ’s wafting through the windows, soft serve ice-creams, sunshine sparkling across the ocean, icy cold drinks and people genuinely seem happier. But I hate sand. This Summer, because of a move for my husband’s work,…
MUMMY BLOGGERS OVER?
FAR FROM IT. I am a blogger. In fact; why dress it down? I am a ‘mummy’ blogger. (*gasp) Sure; I hear some of you moan; don’t pigeon hole; don’t under-value yourself, don’t be gender exclusive; don’t exploit your kids (don’t even go there!) …blah blah blah, etc. But you know what? I write. My…
TAKE A CAPTAIN COOK AT THIS!
It had been a long week. Kids snotty noses and a slight setback in my daughter’s toilet training meant I was shattered. I was completely over dealing with bodily fluids and I was eyeing off Saturday like a toblerone in diet week. The promise of a whole day out with my husband (you know, the…
MILESTONES WE DON’T MENTION ON FACEBOOK
Will you ever forget the moment they placed your baby in your arms? Did you capture your baby’s first steps on video? Can you remember their adorable little first word? Whilst these are all beautiful moments, I have a few more to add to the list. These are the ones that you don’t read about…
TOTALLY MY SCENE
SCENIC WORLD : A UNIQUE VIEW OF THE BLUE My son is mildly obsessed with snow. After a friend at pre-school spoke about a visit to the Blue Mountains during their ‘news time’, he had been at me (and at me!) for the family to head up for a visit. He had been drawing pictures…
SHOVELLING SH*T UPHILL
Picture this. A scene that is unfolding across households all across the world and very possibly in yours. Frazzled Mummy has decided that a bit of dry shampoo and deodorant will suffice until tonight as the clock steadily ticks onwards. Breakfast was a disaster as can be seen by the mess sprawled across the…
