Throughout one’s life, you meet people who become fabulous friends and even though they might move away from the vicinity of your day to day life, the friendship remains strong. This is definitely the case with my wonderful friend, Gemma. We met in Mildura, were both involved in numerous committees together for a few years …

All good things come to an end
Of course, we couldn't stay away forever and so we headed home via Hahndorf so that I could catch up for brunch with one of my oldest friends from Queensland who happened to be in the area for a wedding and extended vacay! We didn't have long but we packed in a heap of conversation into …
Mid-week fail
I feel like all I ever do lately is gripe about how busy I am or how overwhelmed I'm feeling. But that's life at the moment! Today was manic and aside from a couple of meetings it was heads down and bums up to get some shit done! So it was close to six before …
Two Sentences Tuesday #04
After finishing a long, draining day tethered at the grindstone, there was nothing she loved more than having the fabulous women who cared for her precious, darling children utter the following words...

This morning I cried
Because I've never been one to apply a gloss to what I write or make my life appear like a well-styled, impeccably filtered Instagram feed, I'm gonna fess up to the fact that I may have shed a tear or two this morning. Ok, there was no may about it, this morning whilst washing up …

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 …
The dreaded call
It's now been four weeks week since I returned to work from maternity leave and the thing that I've been dreading most has finally happened. I knew it would, after all it's inevitable with small children, but I'd been hoping and wishing that it wouldn't. And today it did. Yep, I'm talking about the dreaded call from the childcare …
A story of how two little girls came to be
Miss B and Miss A are both little IVF bubbas. As I was writing last night’s post, I realised that I have made mention of our IVF journey a couple of times, but have never given any background. So I thought I’d share our story, partly because I’m very open about our IVF journey and …
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 …
