I always knew that despite my emotionally challenged ways, I could at least muster up some empathy for families with sick children. Thankfully, this became apparent after meeting my hubby as one of his best mates had a child who had spent a significant amount of time at the Royal Melbourne Children's Hospital as a baby and still …

Salami weekend
For the past few years, the June long weekend has been salami weekend with the hubby's family. Not only do we end up with a year's worth of salami and cured meats, but we eat ourselves stupid on pork ribs and pork steaks from the freshly butchered pig, as well as an assortment of picked …
juggling… or not
And that's all I'd like to say about that... How has your week been? Ever have days where you feel like this?
My glorious tribute
I was surfing the net, as one is wont to do when taking a break from the household chores, when I happened upon this headline: I was contemplating writing a post today about the never-ending slog of weekend household chores, so intrigued, and definitely willing to learn more, I clicked through.

Lazy Sunday
The morning after a party is always pretty rough if you've had limited sleep and one too many beers. Fortunately for me, I didn't end up having too many drinks at the 50th birthday last night. Not because I didn't want one, but rather, because I've come to realise that trying to wrangle a toddler who …
The packing of all the stuff
I love a weekend away, but I'm not at all a fan of the rigmorale associated with going. Today we're off to celebrate the 50th birthday of one of my hubby's cousins so I'm in the process of pulling together ALL THE STUFF required of carting an infant and a toddler on an out-of-town trip. We're …
