Friday afternoon saw the start of a long weekend which was made even better by Rob finishing work at lunchtime. We decided to make use of the extra time we had together and made a last minute decision to head out for an overnight stay beach side. Why not?! We snagged a last minute room at a fairly … [Read more...]

It was grand final weekend here and while I am not an NRL fan (AT ALL) I am always one to jump on a band wagon and one that takes me back to my childhood in the north western suburbs of Sydney and the footy team we followed as kids. My nephew also turned 7 (!?) and had a Parra Eels themed b'day … [Read more...]

But I think that I might be in luck... And you know what? She did a really good job. Will be keeping that up my sleeve in the next few weeks. … [Read more...]

This is purely for my little sis...I know she will love it. Daisy has quite by herself completely taken to this song - not sure where she has heard it as the poor petal only gets ABC 702 on the radio in the car - but in any case she LOVES it, and I couldn't resist getting some of her routine in her … [Read more...]

So...this is what 38 weeks looks like. Hot, no? I thought it had been quite some time since my last photo shoot and thought that by now, no doubt, the people would be desperate to see the ever expanding belly.So here it is. Excuse the bad shots taken by myself in the mirror. And just the general … [Read more...]

Yesterday we got the visit the newest member of our family...Rob's brother and wife's 4th (!) babe...Jackson Macdonald. What a peach he is - so small and delicious and blonde and lovely. Daisy was particularly impressed with him - in fact, she was quite delighted by the mere sight of a little baby … [Read more...]

(That is to be said just in the fashion of the soup nazi from Seinfeld)Today is my last day of work for 6? 7 months? Maybe more...maybe less...who knows! No more having to you know, shower and blow dry hair and wear shoes with heels and clothes that look half way decent. The getting up early thing? … [Read more...]

Sailors warning? Shepherds warning? I never know which one to use. But this morning when I woke up there was the strangest thick, red sky blanketing our city. Photos taken from smh.com.auIt was quite the sight to see. Daise was in our bed this morn as she woke at 4.30am ready to start the day (when … [Read more...]

Yesterday we got to see that you have little chubby cheeks. Sure, it could be that there isn't much room in there but still, even the sonographer said that you had chubby cheeks. I love that.We went to have a scan and check on the size of you - which wasn't so big after all. Who knows how big you … [Read more...]

I love me some pie. Any kind really. In FACT as a young child I would be SO excited if Mum pulled out a Nanna's apricot pie for dessert because it would mean that I could have some cold leftovers the next day. Cold apricot pie. Honestly, nothing better. Actually, I think I have to get some apricot … [Read more...]

Am so proud and happy to report that Rob's shoot wrapped on Friday afternoon. Woop! Woop! What a mammoth effort he and the crew put in and I am sure that the end product will be nothing short of fabulous. We had a sneak preview of some of the scenes that the ABC threw together for the wrap party and … [Read more...]

One of my nightly concerts. Excuse my voice... … [Read more...]

Did you hear that? At about 7.20am this morning? The cheers of elation from me as I did the LAST early morning drop off to Daisy at daycare this morning. That's right. After 8 (!) loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong weeks this morning marked our last 7am drop off for the little petal. No more … [Read more...]

Beth Macdonald had a great fall.It was coming really. You would have to be an idiot to not see it coming. I thought that I could hold it together, but by Saturday morning, it was clear that I could not, Saturday afternoon as I was literally on the floor sobbing, it was even clearer that I could not. … [Read more...]

Just when you thought one (practically) single, pregnant, working mother could not do any more...it appears that she can. I can grow babies. And big babies. And perhaps even grow them quicker than most people can grow babies. I know. JUST the skill I needed to work on!Yesterday I had by fortnightly … [Read more...]

I am not an overly girly kind of girl. Never really have been. But me thinks that in Daisy, we have our very own little lady. THE little miss. She loves pink. In fact, right now her favourite line is "Pinks my fav'rite culla!"Friday we ventured into the city to pick up a few bits and pieces and we … [Read more...]

Boy, am I looking forward to summer. To swimming. And longer days. And warmer weather. And doors open. And bare feet. And singlets. And summer pyjamas. And salads. And cold champagne. And bbq's. And mosquito coils burning. And candles burning in the warm night air. And Christmas. And going to the … [Read more...]

You know there may just be some light at the end of the tunnel from the *day that we no longer shall speak about. Maybe it was THE tantrum that had to happen? (like the recession that had to happen?!) Maybe it has cleared Daisy's cache or something because (speaking of historical fact ONLY) since … [Read more...]

Saturday morning I got a chance to go to set and see Rob in action. It was fabulous. I had so much fun watching it all happen around me - see every one's jobs - and watch that handsome director do what he does best. And you know what? They really do say "action" and "cut it there" (well Rob did at … [Read more...]

*Otherwise known as "Happy F***ing Fathers Day Rob!"Now I know that things round these parts have been a little less than rosy, and I contemplated not mentioning anything about the 'day of dread', but then I thought, you know what? It's actually kind of funny. You know, the way things seem to be … [Read more...]
