Working in events has it's highs and it's lows! In previous events roles, I've been able to experience some pretty amazing highs. From being involved in the Athen's Olympic torch relay and my absolute career highlight of organising the 50th Anniversary of the 1956 Olympic Games to coordinating the 2014 triple j One night Stand (whilst …

Braving the crowds
Normally, Friday is my day off. When I say day off, I mean that I've worked my 38 hour week and it's my weekend! But not today. With so much to do to prepare our New Year's Eve celebrations and Australia Day event in January, I needed more time at my desk, especially with chunks …
It’s damn hot!
Welcome to Summer! It's no secret that where we live gets hot. I'm talking regularly and consistently hot. As in 40+ degree days (that's usually between 100-112F), all strung together in succession. As a Queenslander, I love the heat. I grew up in Central Queensland where the temperatures were similar but they were coupled with …
She’s walking!
So Miss A has been teasing us for some months now with her attempts at walking. She has been quite happily walk along holding our hand and even walk half a dozen steps in between us, but hasn't quite figured out how to stand up and take off. Or I should say hadn't, because she figured it …

But as she sat with flags and tattoos strewn across event plans and to do lists, she knew that if she didn't put in the hours now, it would be …

The silly season is the best season
The weekends in the lead up to Christmas are mad, let's face it, but sometimes a manic day can end brilliantly and that was the case today. We had to fit in swimming lessons, a brunch with friends as well as shopping for the hubby's work Christmas party (given he was the one coordinating it). …
Christmas shopping, here we come!
Until today, I had bought two presents and ordered two online. And they were both for the girls. So with two weeks til Christmas I knew I had to get my act together and hit the shops. Unfortunately, the only opportunity I had to do this was a Friday which meant taking the girls with …
WhatSUP??
Ok, so my lingo has a lot left to be desired but you can't fault my enthusiasm! But I'm excited because these these arrived yesterday! These are our new stand up paddle boards that we ordered a week or so ago. They have arrived! We ordered them through http://www.thesurfboardwarehouse.com.au and can not fault the packaging - not a …
