I’ve been doing a lot of standing, staring and sighing in my house lately. There’s so much to do to make this place more liveable, but it’s hard to know where to start. Julie tells me to start at the very beginning, as it’s a very good place to start. So I headed to the…
Continue reading →Some days I write a blog post and when I go to save it, it vanishes. So let’s try this again… Some days I just want to sit on the sun and drink coffee with Hubs. Some days I just want to hold this little guy close to my chest and never let go. Some…
Continue reading →Oh man talk about garage sale heaven. Our family of five spent the morning at the Rocky Swap yesterday. To be honest it was all a bit overwhelming – almost 1100 stalls, expected crowds of over 10,000 people, and a 4-year-old wishing to seek out the perfect toy. We got plenty of comments on our…
Continue reading →I’m on facebook. Oh man that hurts just a little bit. I joined to promote my marriage celebrant services, and I’m still trying to figure out what the heck I am doing. I know that It’s been so long since I’ve spent longer than 10 minutes in front of a computer, and I’m so behind…

I thought it would be fun to make banana bread with the kids this morning, but between their naughtiness and my wafer-thin patience, there wasn’t much fun being had. And then as we do every Friday…

I was considering this the other night,…

Continue reading →Over the last seven days, four out of the five members of this family have been hit with a nasty bout of gastro. I am the only one left standing. As it got passed to each family member, it got worse for that next person in line. Hubs was the latest victim, with it hitting…

Darby and I left home at 2:20pm to walk down to Chanbe’s kindy which is only 650m down the road. Pushing the big pram, this normally takes about 8 minutes….

After spending the majority of the afternoon kicking myself for eating too much cake, my self esteem and body image were taking a bit…
