On Monday, I read an article written by Carly Jacobs who writes over at her blog, Smaggle. And I’ve not been able to stop thinking about it since. You know how I was talking about the Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon recently? Well in addition to mindfulness, a lot of things relating to passion have been cropping up …

From corned beef hash to dog food in 2.5 seconds
I am definitely no Susie Homemaker. Or Martha Stewart for that matter. Especially not Martha Stewart. My kitchen and I are not great friends although it's not for lack of trying. I am a much better baker than I am a cook although I've been making a conscientious effort over the past few years to …

Have my cake and eat it too
Hands down the best thing about being on maternity leave (aside from spending time with my darling children of course) is catching up with my mummy friends for coffee and cake. Even in the new year, filled with resolutions and good intentions, there seems to be an unspoken rule between the mothers that I know …
Memory Lane Monday – Dad
It has been said that relationships with fathers can be pretty complicated and I can certainly attest to that! My dad and I had what some might describe as a love/hate relationship. Both in possession of some very stereotypical Aries traits, my dad and I challenged each other in many ways. Aries are renown for …
Supermum
As most parents know, late nights and kid-free shenanigans mean nothing come the light of day as your children clamber into your bed for their morning snuggles and family cartoon time. Thankfully, after anticipating a big night with potentially dire consequences last night, it was only the lack of sleep that caused any grief today after heading to bed at …
How Daddy duty saves Mummy’s sanity
Now I'm not even going to bother going into essay mode about how much I love my kids. I do and you'll just have to trust me on that. But there's something about having a couple of hours to yourself that is just so liberating that for a nano-second you half wish you could transport yourself back …
Tin foil hats (or my journey towards mindfulness)
I recall having a lightbulb moment when sitting in my Buyer Behaviour 101 class back in my undergraduate uni days. My marketing lecturer began talking about the coincidences that occur during the decision making phase before a customer makes a purchase. After listening to her explain, I remember thinking - OMG, this happens to me ALL. THE. TIME. Here …

One… two… three… breathe
Tonight's post is bought to you by a determined two and a half year old and an equally determined (AKA stubborn) mother. Cue Mexican standoff! I'm not sure how many of you have kids, but if you've got kids over the age of 2 then I'm pretty sure you'll be picking up what I'm putting …
Week one done!
Today is the last day of my first week as a 'blogger' - ha ha, I feel embarrassed calling myself that! It's been a week since hitting the publish button on that first post and cementing my commitment to live more fearlessly in 2015. And you know what? So far, so good! There have already been some cathartic …
50 Strands of Grey
So I was putting my on my make up in the mirror last week when I was confronted by THIS: That my friends, is six weeks worth of new fluffy regrowth at my temple. GREY fluffy regrowth! Now don't get me wrong, I've been plucking random greys since I was 14 years old so I'm never …
