It’s almost a month now that my three have been on holidays. The weird thing is we are so used to being together we’ve fallen completely into a rhythm of sorts. Everyone is enjoying pottering about in their own space doing little things and I’ve rarely heard the ‘bored’ word. Weird but wonderful. Well, so […]

January is a tricky month. It’s the month of juggling work and kids not to mention coping with fluctuating levels of energy. Not to mention days when you’d much rather be sleeping than getting back to reality. And then there’s mum guilt. Last big holidays I declared myself the ‘worst mum in the world’ without
What makes you happy? Do that Read More
A sense of being enormously grateful is very much on my mind this week. It’s a feeling that I often connect with, but even more so in this week as our country mourns the death of a young hero, Phillip Hughes. Like many people in my community of Macksville, NSW I know of his family

What do you need to do? Read More
Last week I did a lot of thinking about time. Time management, efficiency, not enough time, time for me and time for family. Time was a BIG, MASSIVE challenge for me last week, one of those weeks where I felt I could have cloned myself, added an extra 10 hours to each day and yet

You know how those days leading into a trip away are chaos, you cram in so much that you’re lucky if you remember to eat and there are so many lists and things to do spinning around in your head that if you were to have a brain scan the doctor would probably be surprised
Step away from the computer Read More
I’ve been working a lot of late nights lately. With purpose and results. But I’m getting tired and really feeling the pull of needing time for myself and my family. So this morning I slept in a little. Knowing it’s one of my days to get the kids on the bus and realising that it’s

So, how do you let the world know that you have something to tell it? What do you do when you’re reached the final straw, when you’ve had enough and you are just about to explode (or implode)? Are you a bottle it up kinda gal who waits for something like a stubbed toe to
