Yes, it needs caps. It's something new to me, this day three business. I heard about it from my mate Kim who alerted me to the notion to being totally cray cray on day three of your period. I recalled it one evening after a particularly gruelling day when I stopped, counted, and realised, I am on … [Read more...]

{Not} Eurovision Saturday night
May 20, 2012 by 10 Comments
I was on solo parenting duty this weekend as Rob was "working" fly fishing down in the Snowy Mountains for a story he is working on. Lucky bastard. I filled the weekend with as many social activities so I would distract myself from my loneliness and self pity which I tend to dabble in on such … [Read more...]
Solving the big issues: Turn the cup around
May 18, 2012 by 60 Comments
I have come to love these mundane and mindless discussions about what would appear on face value to be of not much interest to people. Boy was I wrong. These small issues...well, they are quite big issues. HUGE. Important. People feel very strongly about the way a bed is made, or washing washed. Who … [Read more...]
Re-entry
May 17, 2012 by 21 Comments
Kim taught me the concept of re-entry and as soon as she gave it a name, I was all like "Yes! THAT." She also taught me about the terrible thing that is the hormones of day 3 of your period, but that's an entirely different post all together.Re-entry is hard. It sucks. It can be re-entry of anything … [Read more...]

Daisy's beautiful Godmother who lives over in London (everyone should have a Godmother that lives in England don't you think?) took this snap in a dreary, depressing waiting room today and whacked it up on Facebook. It may have to be the most depressing, hilarious warning ad ever to be made.The … [Read more...]

Today I get to use a line I have waited my whole life to say. “You are going to have to speak to my agent about that” and or “let’s get my people to talk to your people”.Today I have people. Well, a person. And a very good person at that. Lorraine Murphy has taken a big gamble {I think} and chosen … [Read more...]

May 13, 2012 by 21 Comments
Sure yesterday was Mother's Day, but it was something far more important than that...it was Rob's Birthday! Given that I had had a few days off with my family we decided to focus on him for the day and celebrate with a little lunch with neighbour and her family. Even better than that, she made the … [Read more...]
Stitch & Bitch 2012 style
May 13, 2012 by 15 Comments
There's something about the coming together of a group of women that's special. Especially the coming together of women from the same family. Women who share a history. Who share bloodlines. It's like secret women's business.This weekend I spent time with 12 of the immediate females from my Mother's … [Read more...]

Daisy has been doing ballet for the past few terms and really seems to enjoy it. Actually, she really seems to enjoy the frocking up, hanging with her mates and the bit at the end when they could free dance for 5 minutes. Me? Well, not so much. The running around, driving 20 kms there and 20kms's … [Read more...]

For me, personally, there's just not enough butter in this world. Salted butter. And specifically Lurpak butter, spread nice and thick on some bread. I'm a happy girl. Simple really. Because of this passion I think that it came as a surprise to my husband when he first saw me make him a peanut … [Read more...]

Sometimes at the end of the day that first swig of a G&T is just the ticket for letting the day wash away. The chores, the cleaning, the feeding, the everything is done. It's almost bed time for the kids, it's almost some time just for me.Other times you just have to go outside and take a deep … [Read more...]

Me and my friend Harper hang out together all day, every day. Whilst some most days she drives me positively nutty, almost all of the time her chatter, singing and playing alone are the sweetest sound I ever did hear. I know that all too soon she will be off, on her way and that's why I am soaking … [Read more...]

Yesterday was my Mum's 60th Birthday. 60. I remember being a little girl and seeing my own Grandparents turn 60 and then 70 and thinking that it was just so old. It's so not old is it? My Mum was just a spring chicken when she had me {25} and I was even her third child! She raised 4 children into … [Read more...]
