Occasionally we actually leave the house for a dinner date. Whilst this may appear quite romantic, I am likening it more to a mummy ‘mental health’ break. Just lucky I have someone to come along with me who, with just a few squirts of aftershave and an ironed shirt (that had nothing to do with…
FIGURING OUT MY LIFE…SLOWLY…
#NB I was super lucky to be gifted my very own, personalised statuette in order to review. However, they are simply stunning, hence all the wonderful things I say are entirely my own honest opinions. Sometimes I want to break out in song like Mary Poppins. Now SHE is a woman on top of her game…
AT LEAST THERE WERE DONUTS
#NB : Trust me; this is not a paid review or freebie…this is simply my life as a mum. x Roll up, Roll up, For the happiest show on earth…. Or is it? We were off to the Circus. I was excited. Husband was pumped; and the kids were jumping off the walls. After tipping…
NO TINDER AT KINDER
We have agreed to see other people. It is a mutual decision and we are both comfortable with it. You see, the kids are getting older and previous date nights of cheap prosecco and takeaway at home on a Friday night no longer seems to scratch that itch. Sure, it’s easy to stick with the…
MUSEUM MUMMY : SURVIVING SYDNEY SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
I am a Mummy…and I have been unraveling… fast. The school holidays had hit suddenly. With two little ones not of school age, I didn’t see it coming. It totally blind sided me as all my weekly activities simply disappeared. Library kids club? GONE Playgroup? GONE Dancing? GONE However, on the flip side; the playground,…
QUEEN OF THE ROAD
This post was featured on : The sun was shining. The day lay empty in front of me. The lure of the open ride was calling, so I popped the shades on, tapped into the Thelma and Louise vibe (either/or…not fussy…they both ogled Brad Pitt…) and cranked up George Michael’s, “FREEDOM”. I belted it out,…
MY BRAVE NEW WORLD
Well??? Did anyone see MY article in the February CHILD magazine? As seen in Melbourne… As seen in Sydney… Super excited to be published in a monthly mag that I devour every month. AND, it went to print in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth!! Click here to see my published article This week I am proud…
THE SUNDAY SESH
. The door clicks shut behind me and it takes all my will power not to run. I can hear the “find your shoes/put your shoes on/where are your hats?/go to the toilet” opera belting behind me and my feet fly to the lift. I slap that down button. “SUNSCREEN! WHO NEEDS SUNSCREEN?” smashes through…
EYES WIDE OPEN
The kids are sleeping. And I am awake. Could it be? Is it happening? If I actually speak it out loud, will it all unravel? (Well, that’s OK; got ’em on a technicality as I am actually only writing this, right?) Touch wood and all that; but, mate, I will lie myself plank style on…
STRUTTING MY STUFF IN SYDNEY
Bacon was on my mind again. Here I was. Starting my health kick, and I was fantasising about a bacon and egg McMuffin. But instead of a glorious cooked breakfast, I was doing what all the beautiful people did, and knocking out a coastal walk along the eastern beaches of Sydney. After a night of…
