I’ve set myself a little project to capture my three kids together every month of this year. I’ve also decided to start using their real names too, as quite frankly I’m sure everyone knows them anyway. Besides it’ll be a lot easier to type too!! We’re not quite at the end of January yet (thank […] Read more…
It’s just such a crappy word isn’t it? I tried my best to pretty is up in the above infographic, but when you say it out loud, it still sucks! Budgets are one of those things (like diets) that I’ve never really been able to stick at long enough to see any major results. Usually […] Read more…
It’s the very last day of the year today and it’s a good thing I did a little review of my year a couple of weeks ago as I haven’t had a spare minute since Christmas. My mum and dad arrived from London on the 28th, which was a HUGE surprise as we weren’t expecting them […] Read more…
I’ve wanted to post this for a few days now, but have just not felt right about it. I’ve been glued to the media ever since I first got that txt message from Mr D that there was a siege in the centre of Sydney. Fortunately he was not close enough to be involved and was […] Read more…
This year has flown by so quickly that it’s hard to remember all the little things that have happened. I thought I’d make an effort to sit down and reflect on the last 12 months. First memory: Waking up on News Year Day to sunshine, no hangover and having my mum and dad with us. Biggest […] Read more…
After my first child was born I was very unexpectedly struck down with Post Natal Depression. I know ‘struck down’ sounds a bit dramatic, but that’s how I felt. I went from a perfectly normal pregnancy where I was counting the minutes until I’d meet my little boy, to almost not being able to be […] Read more…
It’s been three months since I last did a little ‘taking stock’ on my life and I promised myself I’d do it more often. Also, I wrote this yesterday while I was suffering from a severe self-inflicted hangover, and it was nice to write something that didn’t require too much brain power. So here goes…….. […] Read more…
The last couple of weeks have just been stupidly busy in my world and last night, as I collapsed on the sofa, it got me thinking. Am I too busy? What is too busy? Is being this busy actually doing us any good? I fear that with Christmas only a hop, skip and a jump […] Read more…
I missed the sculptures by the sea last year, so I swore that I would get there this year. Mr D wasn’t keen at all because he hates crowds. “Are you out of your mind?? he looks at me as if I’d just asked him if I could have a kitten (which is actually on my mind […] Read more…
It’s no big secret that I am not a fan of pretty much any creature that moves (except for cats and dogs). I scream like big sook every time that damn leaf tailed gecko appears in our garage (which is at least ever other day). They’re supposedly harmless but they’re huge and blend into the […] Read more…
