The weekends in the lead up to Christmas are mad, let's face it, but sometimes a manic day can end brilliantly and that was the case today. We had to fit in swimming lessons, a brunch with friends as well as shopping for the hubby's work Christmas party (given he was the one coordinating it). …

Housebound for the weekend
It's Bathurst weekend! The weekend where we basically plonk ourselves in front of the TV and worship all things motorsport. For those outside of Australia, Bathurst is an annual event car race that brings rev-heads from around the country together to watch V8 Supercars chase each other around a 6-oddkm track for 1000km (or 161 …
Saturday bliss
Sunshine makes for the best weekends don't you think? And today didn't disappoint. A fabulous start to the weekend catching up with my gals at the park, checking out the farmer's market, continuing with my grey-no-more sessions, cheese toasties for dinner, and finishing up with Miss Congeniality. Happy days! What did you get up to …
Playing catch up
So it's Friday and it's been a long day! In fact, it's been a pretty long week! After a fairly early night last night, we got an early start which was great as we could head off, pick up the girls on the way through and still have the afternoon to enjoy some seriously good spring …
TGIT!!!
TGIT! Yes, Thursday! Not quite the same ring as TGIF but for me, it's same same but different! I work my full time hours over a four day week so as far as I'm concerned it's the weekend! And it can't come around quick enough. The house is now quiet but for the hum of …
Drinks, Football and boardgames
Originally, I had plans to catch up with the girls for a few drinks tonight but for a whole range of reasons it fell through. So some great friends of ours, aka the Fitz family, came over to watch the football (#gohawks #alwaysHawthorn #brownandgold) which is not an uncommon occurrence during footy season. We had …
The little things
Half the weekend is over. Already! Today was another busy day combining work with the downtime. And so this we took a little time to chill out this afternoon to spend some time together as a family, even if it was just doing some mundane chores. Are you taking time to enjoy the little things this weekend? How …
3 weeks to go
Today, as I was swapping the number four out for a three on my lightbox, I felt an unfamiliar twinge. I'm still trying to process what it was but I think it was a cross between guilt, sadness and maybe a touch of fear. For a little while, I dismissed it and got back into …
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 …
