You know those times when you're up every hour with a sick baby and then dawn rolls around and you realise that there is no way you're going to get to work today... yep, that's was my day today. Poor Miss A has bronchiolitis again so after heading to the doctor, we bummed out on the couch for a quiet …

Temperature’s rising
As a born and bred Queenslander I'm not adverse to the heat. 40 degree (104F) days, whist hot, are not unbearable for me. Thankfully, living in Victoria, we have a different kind of heat. Still plenty of 40 degree days but the air is dry and you're not having to swim in the humidity which …
Day of rest
It's probably a little lazy to make the title of each Friday post TGIF but that's generally how I feel once I get to the end of the week. TGIF pretty much sums up the sentiment the minute I wake up (not at 5.30am - yippee!). This Friday was no different and after breakfast, and …
Germination
Speaking of planting the seed yesterday, there may be a little seed that is growing in my mind. Not ready to divulge just yet but it is certainly sending the mind into a whole new realm of thoughts, ideas and possibilities. Watch this space! In other news, today's Elf on a Shelf location... Do you ever dream …
Planting the seed
You may have heard of the Elf on a Shelf Phenomenon, if not then you should check it out because it is awesome. And yes, I know awesome is a pretty strong word but I can tell you right here and right now that since our little elf Jethro has come to stay bedtime has been a dream! …
A day at home
Sometimes, after a few weeks of either being away or rushing around, you need some down time in your own space, even if that means staying at home and doing household chores. That pretty much summed up our day today. After swimming lessons were out of the way, we pottered around and did little chores …
No work Friday…
I've spoken before about how I've been lucky enough to negotiate a compressed work week, meaning I work my full time hours over four days of the week. This not only saves me a day on child care costs, but it also provides me with an extra day to spend with the girls and, in theory, …
Friday night games
I'm probably the last person on this planet to have not jumped on board the The Hunger Games bandwagon. For no other reason than not having the time or compulsion to make it a priority in the past. But tonight I've found my position on the couch and am settling in to watch the first installment! …
Sleep easy
I'm not sure where I'm at right now. There was no argument. No drama. No endless requests. No constant demands. She went to bed and said good night. And fell asleep. Straight away. And now I'm wandering the house wondering what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. What are you up to this Monday …
Blondes have more fun
It's been nearly 12 months since starting Operation No More Greys. My near jet black hair has definitely gone! Do blondes really have more fun? Have you made the progression from dark to light in an attempt to fight off the greys?
