Yummy Mummy? Me? You bet your sweet, dimpled derriere, my friends. Let me catch you up here. Some of you may have seen that my diva daughter (believe EVERYTHING you see about this threenager debacle, people, because this phenomena is REAL, I can promise you that!!) has started tantrums. Not just the squawking ‘I wants’;…
WHAT EXACTLY IS ‘SCHOOL READY?’
HOW I PLAN TO ‘PREPARE’ MY SON FOR THE BIG DAY And so it begins. I did the tours. I completed the application forms. Pre-school drop-off has been abuzz with polite and subtle questioning about where our kids will be going to Primary School next year. Now it seems the reality that my ‘baby’ is…
SNOT FUNNY
“It’s a squishy one, Mum,” was shouted from the toilet. Great. Just.Freakin’.Great. Today, I needed to feel more than just an on tap arse wiper. It was a nothing Wednesday. Hump day. A long, long way from Friday. But at least we had plans. A lovely pre-school mum had given me the heads up…
NO (d)RIP OFF HERE!
REVIEW OF THE CAMELBAK EDDY DRINK BOTTLE FOR KIDS Recently I stole something. It started quite innocently. I was off to sport with the kids. You know the drill. Pack the bag full of everything and nothing, throw in snacks and water bottles, scream (nicely) at the kids to put on shoes and get moving,…
WHOSE DAUGHTER IS THAT?
Kids say the darndest things, right? All those ‘cutesy’, mispronounced words, or funny little nick names for their siblings, or how they like to point out the elephant in the room that we adults try so hard to ignore. I really love getting a giggle from this. Except when it’s my bloody child, LOUDLY,…
“YOU’VE BEEN PRANKED!”
VOTING IN THE FEDERAL ELECTION As an Australian, I am legally required to vote. That’s how important my voice is. So I have a little to say in regards to my recent experience at the polling booth. Sure. I did my research. I righteously strolled past the placards and ‘how to vote for…
WHAT I WISH I KNEW IN MY 30’S
On Saturday night I had dinner with a group of my forever friends from High School. We chatted, drank wine and ate good food, including dessert. We then decided to move our party to a club for a drink or 7, just like the good ol’ days. We lasted five minutes. It was too crowded….
BIRD-ALICIOUS
Whilst sitting at my kitchen table last year, drinking wine and moaning to a forever friend that I felt too frumpy to fit into any of my ‘before children’ clothes anymore, I received the most amazing advice. “Google Birdsnest,” she said. “It’s simple,” she said. “You’ll love it,” she said. And bugger her to bits;…
BEACH. WINE. REPEAT
So I dug a large hole. I dressed in a suit and lay down in it. Manure was poured over me and I practised my meditation. It was titled, “Homage to my Father”. Yep. Right at that moment, upon over-hearing this sterling conversation, I knew that my weekend escape to Byron Bay had…
MUMMY BLOGGER DUET
I may just live to regret this…. Decided to try something new and was getting my groove on in a little practice sesh…when I was upstaged by my two year old diva. Click on the link…….and it’s OK, I won’t give up my day job 😉 I have linked this up with : …
