I’ve just spent the last 4 days on a jam packed adventure to the Gold Coast attending the Pro Blogger Conference. While I was away I left Mr D in charge of the troops. I knew he’d be more than fine but just to be on the safe side I left a LONG list of things […] Read more…
There is just one week to go before the end of the rugby season and I can’t believe I’m opening admitting this, but I think I’m actually going to miss it. Master J and his team ‘The mighty Reds’ have been unstoppable this season and have not lost a game yet. With just one game to go ….. the […] Read more…
Today you are two. The happiest of birthdays to you my beautiful girl. It feels like just yesterday you turned 1. I think this has been the fastest flying year in history, and my oh my have you grown. You’ve learnt to walk, and run and jump and climb and spin around until you fall […] Read more…
I had the most loveliest of Mothers Days yesterday. In fact, I think I heart just grew a little bit bigger. Last week I helped out at the school Mothers Day stall, so I kinda knew what I was in for in the gift department. I had to cover my eyes so many times while […] Read more…

What is it about parenting or in particular, mothering, that gets some people so heated and to some extremes ‘over opinionated’ and judgemental?? Master J showed me a tiny little sore on the back of his leg a couple of days ago and it looked like a small blister. He wasn’t too bothered by it […] Read more…
Me and my beautiful girl on her 1st day of ‘BIG’ school. As of last week I became a mum of TWO (out of three) school kids!! It’s going to mean big changes in our house this year but it really has been a long time coming. Miss H has been absolutely desperate to go […] Read more…
I know I’m cute – just look at my curls Miss L is well and truly into the swing of being one!! (In fact I think she might be knocking on the door of toddlerdom already). I have so enjoyed almost all the stages of my kids growing up so far (minus a few tantrums […] Read more…
I suffered with Postnatal Depression (PND) after the birth of my first child back in 2006. I had no previous history of depression and I had a pretty easy and happy pregnancy. We knew we were having a little boy (Mr D said there was ‘No doubt about that!” after seeing him for the second […] Read more…
