Originally, I had plans to catch up with the girls for a few drinks tonight but for a whole range of reasons it fell through. So some great friends of ours, aka the Fitz family, came over to watch the football (#gohawks #alwaysHawthorn #brownandgold) which is not an uncommon occurrence during footy season. We had …
Friday wind-down
It's always nice when you get a text message that says if the hubby isn't home tonight, I'm coming over with a chick flick and some thai food! Uh, ok... if you insist! That was my sister in law at about 4pm this afternoon. Her hubby is away tonight as well and we've not seen …
This morning I cried
Because I've never been one to apply a gloss to what I write or make my life appear like a well-styled, impeccably filtered Instagram feed, I'm gonna fess up to the fact that I may have shed a tear or two this morning. Ok, there was no may about it, this morning whilst washing up …
Brick walls
I've been struggling this week. Struggling at the constant hammering that is going on inside my head. Struggling because I can't seem to do the do and create actions from the dialogue that runs rampant in my brain 24/7.

We have officially become the 13th confirmed case of hand, foot and mouth at our child care centre which means Miss A stays at home and we get to have some bubba/Mummy bonding time this week. This morning the hubby got up and headed off to work, taking Miss B to child care on the …
Lucky
I suspect I'm in for a long night tonight as Miss A is dealing with the early symptoms of Hand, Foot and Mouth. Tired, clingy, with a mild fever and increasingly covered in spots, my usual happy, cruisey bubba is struggling. And whilst it's hard to watch, it makes me realise how lucky I …
I’m officially old
Yep, it's official... it looks like I just can't keep up with them young'uns anymore! It is 6.35pm. I have fed children, given baths, tidied kitchen, showered myself and am tucked up in bed. Yes, in bed... at 6.35pm! Late nights and mini hangovers just take too much out of me these days! I am so …
Winner winner chicken dinner
Due to the technical difficulties of yesterday I didn't get the chance to tell you about my overnight trip to Sydney to attend a Communications Awards dinner tonight! We flew up just before lunch and managed to squeeze time in for a blow wave before we headed to the dinner. Well, I'm now lying in …
