Just hanging with my girls
Friday is the best day of the week! After what is always a busy week working my full time hours from Monday to Thursday, I love Fridays for a whole range of reasons. A little bit of a sleep in is a great start (well, getting up at 6.30 as opposed to 5.30am), getting on top of …
It’s time for Marriage Equality Australia
Off the back of an historic referendum result, it was announced this week that gay marriage will be legalised in Ireland. Yay Ireland! This fabulous result has sparked up the debate again across Australia (finally!) with commentary from all sides of government in the past 24hrs following the Leader of the Opposition's decision to introduce a private members bill …

After all, if one small tree could produce over 34 shopping bags full of lemons, it would be safe …
Glorious sunshine
We're very lucky to have pretty stunning weather most of the year. There's no question it can get hot in the Summertime, but that's just how I like it. This weekend sees what will probably be the last of the warmth as we head into winter and today was a stunning start with a top …
Sleeping the day away
This week has definitely caught up with me and I felt it badly today. I've been battling a small head cold all week and then got a flu shot yesterday so woke up more stuffy headed that ever! So when the mother in law offered to take Miss B for the weekend I jumped at …
