My boys have grown…

On Mother’s Day I managed to get this snap taken with my boys. Took us a few turns (rogue hand, stupid face…)! I look at this photo and can’t even believe they are so big.

My eldest is 14. He is 1cm taller than me already! He makes me stand…

How do you feel about your kids living in an online world?

Brought to you by Optus.
As a mother of three boys (one in high school), I am pretty passionate about the role of digital media in their lives.

My mum always says to me, “thank god this wasn’t around when you were at school because you would have driven me mad…”…

10 Travel Tips for a Healthy & Safe Family Holiday

Brought to you by Bupa Travel Insurance.

Do you find traveling with kids easy or painful?!

Most people find it overwhelming and too hard! I have 3 wild boys and nothing is smooth sailing with my lot, but we still do manage to go places together. We don’t fly very often,…

Rugby League, our kids are the future

If you follow Rugby League you would have heard about the disgraceful behaviour by some fans after a wrong decision was given by the referees during the Bulldogs vs Rabbitohs game on Friday. I was watching…

In short, Souths were awarded a late penalty after the video ref’s reviewed some…

We love cricket

Summer is well and truly here at our place. I know this because we’ve all gone cricket mad. Actually I think we’re loving cricket this year more than we love footy (did I just say that!?).
My husband is coaching the under 13s team this year and he’s loving it!…

Home is a feeling…

I found this little saying on Instagram the other night and I shared it over there. Lots of you loved it too.

Mostly, I’d rather be at home than anywhere else in the world. I am a Cancerian, so I am very much a homebody. My husband and I both…

My big boy had “the talk” at school

I don’t know about your house, but in ours we’re a bunch of prudes. Yep, we don’t talk about “rude parts” too often and there is no swearing or silly talk. I know! That’s why I say we’re a bunch of prudes! I think I’ve wanted my house to…

Boys bedroom mini makeover

My biggest boy (he’s 12 and a half) got a makeover in his bedroom this week. Here’s a video with me pulling it together (hospital corners please)!

And here’s the final result (for now!). I am always changing and fiddling with things… We’re doing very simple walls in this room….

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…

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…

A new addition to our family

This little fluff ball entered our house this week! Oh boy, he is adorable. We’ve named him Bear. He’s a Spoodle (cocker spaniel/poodle). He’s 8 weeks old and only about 10cm high – the photos make him look bigger, but really he’s just so tiny.
Today we took a few…

My little people in action

This is how I spend every single weekend. Saturday and Sunday. They play Rugby League (preferred sport by me!) and AFL. Plus the eldest has rep thrown in there. I never ever miss a game (unless I am away!). I love it more than them I think. Footy is…

Since when did school sport become so soft?

I have 3 boys and they are wild and funny and free. And I’ve allowed them to be!

We play a lot of sport. Rugby League, AFL, touch footy, cricket and whatever else they ask for. I will never say no to sport! Afterall, that’s what I need to do with…

Nobody mentioned it…

This parenting gig isn’t easy is it? Nobody warned me that you’d be riding their highs and lows like they are your own. Nobody mentioned that you start a new personal journey when they start to grow up. I am living in the moment and I’m living in their…

A lovely kid turns 9 in my house today!

Happy 9th Birthday to my gorgeous and sweet middle kid, Tex!
Surely he’s older than 9, he seems like he’s been here forever! 😉
Yesterday we had a birthday party at a laser zone place, and today all he’s asked for is Taco’s for dinner 🙂
Love this little kid! X

Mum’s Taxi
