“Why is there a loaf of bread on my bed?” – And other (random) Motherhood thoughts.
I apologise now for the randomness of this blog. I can be quite random at times. Though I read, and read, and read while pregnant, and when I had the time last year consulted my What to Expect the First Year, obviously nothing totally prepared me for Motherhood or the... Continue reading

Mama Mia and Mumma EJ
Mama Mia and Mumma EJ I am a huge fan of the Mama Mia website and Radio show (though that Em chick annoys me at times. No, I do not think that it is cool that you encourage your daughters to swear, I don’t think it is great that you... Continue reading

Barbeques and Barrows
Barbeques and Barrows My little boy is a funny fellow – and such a boy. At 11-and-a-half-months he is a ball of fun; literally that sponge that soaks everything up. I tidy the house a million times a day. He pulls everything out of the cupboards and drawers. (I can... Continue reading

11 Months and counting!!
Time is absolutely flying. I am now the mother of a walking, talking, 11 month old toddler. I say toddler because my baby is no longer a baby, which at times has made me sad. At the same time I am super excited and so lucky that so many friends... Continue reading

Out of the mouths of babes - “Sometimes it’s okay if you don’t colour in the lines.”
Out of the mouths of babes - “Sometimes it’s okay if you don’t colour in the lines.” Children tell the truth and tell it beautifully. You have simply got to smile and laugh and often pause when the little people in your life tell you little things. Teenagers are not... Continue reading

Oh I do love this blog. I really do. I love the layout, the content, the "you-ness".

Blurp book publishing
If your a first time mum like me, you most likely have a veritable mountain of photo's trapped in your iphone or computer struggling to get out. In an attempt to save them and create some Christmas gifts of my son's first year, I looked around for somewhere to get a good quality book publishe...
Tashy
“They are shooting stars-a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone." (The Notebook). I need a glass of wine to type this. I need a glass of wine to think this. I had a bad afternoon this afternoon. Funny... Continue reading

Work and the Mummy
Last week I re-joined the workforce, and, it must be stated, reality. I have been ridiculously lucky and had 7 months of paid maternity leave (how sweet it is!), which I have enjoyed literally almost every minute of. There were a few horrid moments when I wondered how one tiny... Continue reading

"Fifty Shades of Crazy"
So, I have started reading “Fifty Shades”. I will admit, I like a bit of literature porn – “The Bride Stripped Bare” is probably the best example of literature porn I have read before besides the odd Mills & Boon random reads. I find all books better than visual texts... Continue reading

"Time and Tide"
“Time and Tide” I was visiting my Grandad, who is 91, a fortnight ago when he said “Tide and time waits for no man.” We were discussing Nash’s growth, age and strength. Grandad is right. He has seen 91 years and those years have probably (mostly) flown for him. Time... Continue reading

New York
One of my earliest Blog entries was about my week in New York City. NYC is one of my little obsessions in life; indeed a place I intend to revisit. I saw and did it all, all on my own! (Something I was very proud of! I hope so badly... Continue reading

Gym Characters cont...
So, I introduced the issues of the Gym (often also pronounced "Gyme" in my world). I had someone get up in my grill, or behind my grill mostly, in Pump this morning. I have been touched by the people contacting me about similar freak gym stories. Tonight I will discuss... Continue reading

Suprise!
I would love to know if there is anyone else out there with a similar story to this one. I don't know if this makes me a worse Mother or Wife!! This is a bit of a crazy story. We often joke about (baby) poo. We learnt 18 weeks ago... Continue reading

Thoughts on the "Baby Thing"
7:15pm on a Saturday night! Bliss! Early shower, early dinner, early bed (hopefully!) Nashy is safely tucked up in his cot, having beautiful dreams. Time for some blogging, I feel! Always reflective, (okay, when it suits) I have spent some time lately thinking about what I have learnt over the... Continue reading

The GYM, the Bad and the Ugly
The GYM, the Bad and the Ugly Well it has to be written about. It really does. One of the most ridiculous things in the world (besides the fact that the toast has a setting where you can make CHARCOAL….) is the hoo-haa that occurs at my gym. It’s an... Continue reading

The Life of Pi – Yann Martel
Oh what a STRANGE novel this was. My Dad bought this book for me to read upon recommendation for a colleague. I knew vaguely of Pi’s story, and had heard it was a little slow to start. A little! The man from Dad’s work said the first 70 or so... Continue reading

The Cars, "The Sims" & The Housework
Is there anyone out there that actually manages to have a clean car and clean house at the same time? We managed to wash both cars today. It was a big 3 hours! Our vehicles washed properly, vacuumed and Armour-Alled up, they are safely sleeping in the shed tonight, ready... Continue reading

Schapelle
SCHAPELLE CORBY’S story is one that I cannot seem to ignore. It terrified me and still does. (I travelled to Thailand and paid the $20 to wrap my bag up in ten million tonnes of glad wrap to ensure I would not become the blonde version of Schapelle). I remember... Continue reading
