I went to bed last night tired and drifted off easily. Then a child woke me about 20 minutes later to tell me he couldn’t sleep. Thanks for that. So of course then I couldn’t get back to sleep and my mind kept wandering… I started to think stupid things……
Browsing CategoryA day in my life
I just want to be…
A song came on yesterday which took my back to being 19 years old. It’s funny how music reminds you of places/times/people/feelings… In that flash back to being 19 years old, for a moment, I wished I was back there. I was at Uni in Canberra living with friends. They…
When a change of scenery is needed
Over the long weekend we took off on a little mini-break with 3 other families…We headed to Batemans Bay for some camping/fishing/drinking/beach fun. I didn’t get lucky and catch any fish this time, but the boys caught 3 flat-head which we cooked up on the bbq. I jumped out…
It’s ok to sit with your thoughts…
Last week I had a day or 2 of not feeling the best… we all have them. Probably over-tired, stressed, worried, hormonal… whatever. I am pretty good at pulling myself out of these moments. I am good at positive thinking and I am big believer in thoughts become things. So…
Things I am looking forward to
It’s day 1 of the school holidays and I am actually looking forward to them. I say that now, of course! Ask me around day 4! But I am actually really tired. Like tired in my bones type of thing. Not from lack of sleep, but rather because I felt…
My gorgeous friend has breast cancer & she’s 30 years old
Life is always throwing us a curve ball… just when you think you have it under control something else comes along. Remember when I wrote about my little friend Ellie? She is almost 12 and she has crohn’s disease. Ellie is in the same year as my son. Well, about…
Following my passion for blogging and design
A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d be an ambassador (with Kieren Perkins and Gabby Millgate) for SEEK Learning. I was asked about my passions and what lead me to a full-time career in blogging… Here’s what I said, how I do it and why I love it!…
Out and about with my boys in the bush
At the top of our street is a hill and some bush with great walking tracks through them. Every few days (when it’s not hot because I HATE snakes!), we take a quick wander through. This week we’ve been a couple of times and I took my camera along… Bear…

The sunshine brings all the good stuff
Hi there! Just popping in for a quick hello… The sun has been shining around here, and it makes life seem so much more brighter. The dreariness of Winter is so boring. Sometimes I can smell a tiny hint of Spring in the air. This week has been magnificent, but…
Still on the road to somewhere
Today I am in Melbourne at St Vincent’s Hospital for another opinion and check up from a gastro doctor and a surgeon. At Easter this year I was septic again (3rd time in 12 months) so my Doctor is a little worried about this happening too often so I’m seeing…
They were the toughest days
I ran in to my old day-care-mum last week. I haven’t seen her in a while and we were chatting to each other about the kids. Her girls are all grown up and have left home (they were in high school when my boys used to be in her care).…
