To my gorgeous girls, Billie and Asher, We're done! It has now been a year since I posted my first post on this blog and made the commitment to share something everyday. 365 days worth of sharing!!! It was a struggle at the end, I won't lie. Not because I didn't want to do it, but with …

#LighttheDark
This evening after I picked up the girls from childcare, we headed to our local park by the river to participate in a Light the Dark vigil in our town to show that our community welcomes refugees. It was spontaneously organised by a colleague of mine and about 80 people turned up less than 24 hours after …
Oh, the outrage!
It never ceases to amuse/concern me how people are so quick to outrage on social media these days. My Facebook and Twitter feeds this evening have been clogged by the recent atrocity that Miley Cyrus has committed. And by atrocity I mean Miley just just being Miley in a TV appearance on Jimmy Kimmel. Ok, …

It’s time for Marriage Equality Australia
Off the back of an historic referendum result, it was announced this week that gay marriage will be legalised in Ireland. Yay Ireland! This fabulous result has sparked up the debate again across Australia (finally!) with commentary from all sides of government in the past 24hrs following the Leader of the Opposition's decision to introduce a private members bill …
I can’t be a hard-arse #IStandForMercy
I suspect that I'm not the only one this evening tapping away at a keyboard, trying to distill confused thoughts into some semblance of a coherent post. If you've been living under a rock for the past month or so (or live far away from our fine country) you may not realise that I am referring to …
Not another list
Is it just me or is every second blog post lately a list? You know... - 7 things kids do that shit you - 14 guaranteed exercises to create abs like Elle McPherson - 10 best freezer meals that actually taste nice - 5 ways to wear a scarf because you know, scarf wearing is a …
Part of something bigger… #workingmumsunite
Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon has struck again!!! If you don't have time to click through to my earlier post about Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon here, I've summed it up for you below: Think back to the time when you wanted to buy a new car. You picked out the make and the model and then all of a sudden, everywhere …
