So, for those of you who have been living under a rock, you may not be aware that Fifty Shades of Grey has hit the theatres and that the take up of this hugely anticipated fil-um is already on track to break records. Now I'm going to fess up and say that I have read …

Thoughtful leadership
Tonight I was inspired! As in brimming with excitement, can't wait to get back into the thick of things kind of inspired! One of the downsides to maternity leave is that the organisation that you work for moves forward without you and you lose any momentum that you before you left. And whilst situations often change (although in …
A story of how two little girls came to be
Miss B and Miss A are both little IVF bubbas. As I was writing last night’s post, I realised that I have made mention of our IVF journey a couple of times, but have never given any background. So I thought I’d share our story, partly because I’m very open about our IVF journey and …
3 weeks to go
Today, as I was swapping the number four out for a three on my lightbox, I felt an unfamiliar twinge. I'm still trying to process what it was but I think it was a cross between guilt, sadness and maybe a touch of fear. For a little while, I dismissed it and got back into …

Incidentally, did you know that word Share Plate is the Macquarie Dictionary's word of the year this year. #randomfactoftheday Anyway, back to this: My …

Happy birthday Mum
Dear Mum Did you know that I find your birthday the most hardest of all the days to deal with? Not the anniversary of your death, or the many annual holiday dates that have passed since then. Not Mother's Day, although since becoming a mother I have found it is much more bittersweet. Not even my own …
My brain has run a marathon
I am knackered. And I didn't even get up early (AGAIN!). But that's another story. I've actually had a very productive day but I'm now so weary I can barely keep my eyes open. Today from 9am until about 4.30pm I was writing policy. This is me and my happy face: When I left work …
