So this afternoon, whilst I waited for Miss A to wake from her nap, I made myself a cup of tea, pulled out a couple of Tim Tams and started to make a list of the things I had to do to get ready for our long weekend of camping. It's Australia Day this coming …

Tonight’s post is bought to you by the letter Zzzzzzz
Sick kids are exhausting! And this mumma does not have a lot of patience when running on 3 hours sleep! On Saturday Miss A showed signs of the sniffles and a little cough which has now escalated to a very chesty, wheezy bout of bronchiolitis. Unfortunately Miss B has woken up with the same. And …

Memory Lane Monday – Nana
I was looking for something in cupboard today when I saw this and thought it'd be a great MLM. This is a picture of my Nana, her sister and her mother taken back in 1918. How fabulous are these old photographs - despite my dodgy attempt to get a good picture of them, the …
Lazy Sunday
The morning after a party is always pretty rough if you've had limited sleep and one too many beers. Fortunately for me, I didn't end up having too many drinks at the 50th birthday last night. Not because I didn't want one, but rather, because I've come to realise that trying to wrangle a toddler who …
The packing of all the stuff
I love a weekend away, but I'm not at all a fan of the rigmorale associated with going. Today we're off to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my hubby's cousins so I'm in the process of pulling together ALL THE STUFF required of carting an infant and a toddler on an out-of-town trip. We're …
From corned beef hash to dog food in 2.5 seconds

Have my cake and eat it too
Hands down the best thing about being on maternity leave (aside from spending time with my darling children of course) is catching up with my mummy friends for coffee and cake. Even in the new year, filled with resolutions and good intentions, there seems to be an unspoken rule between the mothers that I know …
Memory Lane Monday – Dad
It has been said that relationships with fathers can be pretty complicated and I can certainly attest to that! My dad and I had what some might describe as a love/hate relationship. Both in possession of some very stereotypical Aries traits, my dad and I challenged each other in many ways. Aries are renown for …
Supermum
As most parents know, late nights and kid-free shenanigans mean nothing come the light of day as your children clamber into your bed for their morning snuggles and family cartoon time. Thankfully, after anticipating a big night with potentially dire consequences last night, it was only the lack of sleep that caused any grief today after heading to bed at …
How Daddy duty saves Mummy’s sanity
Now I'm not even going to bother going into essay mode about how much I love my kids. I do and you'll just have to trust me on that. But there's something about having a couple of hours to yourself that is just so liberating that for a nano-second you half wish you could transport yourself back …
