All the LOLz
So I saw this on social media this morning. Awesome right? I suspect a few people would have cast a confused glance my way while I was out and about today because twice I found myself thinking about this and grinning like a loon. So today, given that it's a #thankfulthursday kinda day, I thought convey …
Just another Mummy Blogger
Today as I was trawling through the many blogs that I follow, I came across an awesome post by Hugzilla (who can I say has one of the best voices out there - in my opinion!) busting the myths about Mummy Bloggers. And I enjoyed it so much I wanted to respond to these myths myself (whilst giving full …
Feeling all the feelings
Yep, this shit is getting real! All day I've been oscillating between excitement and sadness as I count down the days in this last week. I've been doing a little bit of policy writing over the past three weeks which has been motivating and exciting (well, as much as policy writing can ever be exciting). But …
Birthday presence
I've noticed lately, especially when I've got a jam packed day ahead, that when I'm in the midst of doing one thing, I'm always thinking ahead to what is coming up (and usually when and what I have to do to prepare) on the schedule. In essence, I'm never present. Today was one of those …

In particular, I've been focussed on the one called Marcia that has been holding my hometown of Yeppoon to ransom. My sister and …
Summertime dreaming
I wanted to post something a little more meaningful and relevant tonight but I've spent much of it outside with the hubby planning out the (potential) new pool and then spending an hour on Pinterest trying to look for landscaping ideas... so tonight has pretty much been a write off! But it's also very …
Out of whack and into my cranky pants
It's no secret that routines are not really my forte. But interestingly, it turns out that I'm a lot more routine oriented than I actually think. Unfortunately, my way of knowing that this is the case is by using my husband's presence as a barometer. Let me explain. Tonight my hubby came home at dinner time which …
Wanted… my mojo back
Today I am feeling soooooo flat. Surely one busy day hasn't knocked me on my arse that quickly? If so, I have no hope of surviving my first week back at work! As soon as I awoke I knew it wasn't going to be a productive day! I got up at 6.30am-ish, grabbed Miss A …
