How is it that I've been on maternity leave for eight months, and now that I'm about to return to work decide that things need to be done! Today is only Monday, but I've been running about like a blue-arsed fly (that, my non-Australian readers is a bit of Aussie slang) and have a raging headache …

Uh oh…
So my mums group dinner last night cost me nearly $600!!! $60 for dinner and $500 in insurance excess because of this: No, this is not my car. This is Mrs Mone's car. Yes, I was the one that hit it. Mrs Mone was doing me a huge favour and had come over to watch …
We interrupt this regular broadcast…
Mumma Nards has gone out for dinner tonight with her Mum's group. She is currently enjoying adult conversation, an interruption free environment and I suspect a very nice local Sauv Blanc. For your viewing pleasure, she has scheduled the following video that she found highly amusing this afternoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7AvZPTT4kU And side by side in comparison …
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 …

All the Saturdays to come
Today I had a glimpse into what the future holds now that I have children. Saturday sport. As the wife to a truck driving hubby, our weekends are pretty precious so we try to make sure that we spend time together as a family as much as we can. And one of our most enjoyable …
Domestic goddess
I can positively feel the halo glowing above my head as I type this. Because today has been a very productive domestic day. I was expecting to have a slothful day today after a late night last night, but I awoke all guns blazing and got stuck into a hundred little chores, including some decluttering. So …
Freedom to have an opinion (even if it’s a conflicting one)
Tonight I've run out of time! My sister-in-law came over for dinner tonight and we indulged in a share plate of cheese, cured meats and the most AMAZING figs I've ever had. 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 …

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 …
