So the past few days has been dedicated to stalking, and as it turns out yesterday, of being stalked. If any of you follow Fat Mum Slim's Blog (and if you don't, you really really should!), you might be aware that every year Chantelle coordinates the FMS Christmas Gift Exchange. Chantelle created this little project to spread the …

Best laid plans
How on earth do they know???? Miss A was up at 4am, Miss B followed suit at 5.15am! By the time 5.30am rolled around we were all pretty much up with no chance of kicking off Operation Find Mumma Time to Meditate. Do you ever have plans to start a new habit only to be …
Housebound for the weekend
It's Bathurst weekend! The weekend where we basically plonk ourselves in front of the TV and worship all things motorsport. For those outside of Australia, Bathurst is an annual event car race that brings rev-heads from around the country together to watch V8 Supercars chase each other around a 6-oddkm track for 1000km (or 161 …
Making time
Today was the last day of our success without stress program, the workplace training that I've been undertaking these past two months. Dressed in trackies we arrived at our room and began the session by saluting the sun with some yoga (creating flashbacks of a time about 15 years ago when I went to an advanced yoga class by …
Spring blooms
Our front garden is filled with the most beautiful fragrance as our roses burst into bloom. We're reluctant rose gardeners having inherited roses in the last two homes we've owned.

Can't talk much now because WE WON!!! Yep, a bonafide #threepeat #back2back2back!!! And so now the party is in full swing! Did you watch the AFL Grand Final this weekend? Did your team win (#gohawks)?
In preparation
It hit 36 degrees today and it was glorious! I'm a fan of the hot weather and whilst most gripe in the heat, I thrive. But today we spent most of it indoors, getting the house ready for tomorrow's epic showdown between the Hawks and the Eagles. The girls got to spend some time their …
Not so long weekend
In Victoria, to celebrate all things AFL Grand Final, the State Government in its infinite wisdom declared tomorrow (Friday) a public holiday. The thought process is believed to be an economy stimulus by giving people the day off work to head to Melbourne and soak up the atmosphere of the Grand Final Parade (oh, and spend …
Ugh, bin night again
One of the worst domestic jobs has to be taking out the bin on bin night, don't you think? Well, behind laundry anyway! The problem is that by the time I remember to do it, it's late and nine times out of ten I've already had a shower and am in my PJs. Which means I then have …
