Today as I was trawling through the many blogs that I follow, I came across an awesome post by Hugzilla (who can I say has one of the best voices out there - in my opinion!) busting the myths about Mummy Bloggers. And I enjoyed it so much I wanted to respond to these myths myself (whilst giving full …

Birthday presence
I've noticed lately, especially when I've got a jam packed day ahead, that when I'm in the midst of doing one thing, I'm always thinking ahead to what is coming up (and usually when and what I have to do to prepare) on the schedule. In essence, I'm never present. Today was one of those …
Out of whack and into my cranky pants
It's no secret that routines are not really my forte. But interestingly, it turns out that I'm a lot more routine oriented than I actually think. Unfortunately, my way of knowing that this is the case is by using my husband's presence as a barometer. Let me explain. Tonight my hubby came home at dinner time which …

Domestic goddess
I can positively feel the halo glowing above my head as I type this. Because today has been a very productive domestic day. I was expecting to have a slothful day today after a late night last night, but I awoke all guns blazing and got stuck into a hundred little chores, including some decluttering. So …
False starts and forgiveness
I did not get up early. I did not achieve what I wanted to today. I did not pass go or collect $200. Instead, I wandered aimlessly around the house wondering what my girls were doing on their first day in full time childcare. And I beat myself up over my inaction until lunch time. …
Hello February!
Can you believe we're one month into 2015 already? Already!??? This means that I've also been blogging for a month now too! Where on earth has that time gone? Well, they do say that time flies when you're having fun and I have to confess, it's been a fun ride so far. And whilst I'm still finding …
