As we headed North-East from Exmouth, we entered the region that we’ve been looking forward to the most on this trip… The Pilbara. I have to admit, I felt some trepidation as we made our way towards Tom Price and the Karijini National Park. After all, years of watching countless 4WD and camping TV shows …

Playing catch up
Going away for a few days always has a downside and usually it means a ridiculous amount of emails, messages and a tonne of work to get through when you get back to your desk. First day back and today has been one of those days where getting stuff done has been the name of …
‘Tis Monday once more
Seriously, where are these days going? And why are they flying by so bloody quickly??? Another week is upon us and I'm still not feeling as though I've regrouped after facing the same feelings at the start of last week! So that's the plan for this week - getting organised! On my hit list is the …
Catching up on life
I know that I'm not the only one that resents having to use my weekends to catch up on life. Laundry to be done, floors to be cleaned, toys to be put away, toys to be put away... wait hang on. Oh yes, toys to be put away!!! I'm luckier than most in that I work …
Just like Thelma and Louise… or not
You know, my lovely gal pal Mrs Fitz and I have been joking about our upcoming Thelma and Louise experience To Western Australia all week, but as I was preparing for the trip, the realisation of how those two sassy broads ended up has hit me in the face like a sledgehammer. Nooooo! Whilst I am so …
Regrouping
You'd never believe that we've jus had a long weekend here! I'm exhausted!! So tonight is regrouping night. Bills need to be paid, meals need to be organised for the week and some words need to be written at some stage. So it's short and sweet tonight! But I'll leave you with this. Wish me …
Picking up where we left off
In 2009 I had just moved to our new town and threw myself into a number of committees and clubs in an attempt to build some networks. One of the most defining things I did during this time was to complete a community leadership program. Unlike corporate leadership programs, a community leadership program is just …
Great company
How many times have you run into someone that you really like and get on with well and promise that you'll make a lunch date or a time for a coffee so that you can catch up? Not just because social convention makes us offer up these false promises, but because you would really like …
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 …
Meh
Yep, that sums up my day and pretty much most of my night actually. Dreaded phone call resulting in sick child home from day care (nothing serious just suspected conjunctivitis). Obviously these things throw the whole day out of whack so I've been trying madly to catch up on what I missed today. This working mother gig …
