Facebook showed me earlier this week that this time last year Maggie looked like this: And now look at her! 15 months old. I'm with you girlfriend, it's entirely too much to deal with. I can't EVEN. Miss Maggie Roslyn ticked over 15 months a week or so ago (on my birthday in … [Read more...]

We recently (FINALLY) have home delivery shopping and for the past month that I have been using it I have been SO excited that I don't have to find the time to get Maggie to the supermarket for all those bits & pieces that I can't get from the butcher/fruit & veggie shop.

Oh that time of year when the day starts getting brighter earlier and earlier and with it, the rising of the smalls. For the past week or so its started. 5.30am. 5.15am.

This past weekend Rob and I had a night away with these two. Number 1 and number 2. In Canberra! Harps and I smile awkwardly at the camera in exactly the same way! It had been 16 months since we had spent some time just the four of us, which meant it was the first time EVER that both Rob … [Read more...]

Monday meal ideas: lunch that’s not a sambo
August 15, 2016 by 10 Comments
If you're like me, I fall into bad habits during the week for lunch. I should be eating salads or omelettes or something/anything that's easy and tasty and yet? I find myself slathering pieces of bread with butter and vegemite. Here's some ideas for lunch for those at home (or in a good office … [Read more...]
Local Spotlight: Solar Springs Health Retreat
August 11, 2016 by 21 Comments
An invitation to come and spend the night at a local health retreat here in the Highlands could not have come at a better time for me. I've been sick, looking after sick kids and just generally feeling very meh as we tend to in late winter. I was thrilled to check out a local institution, as well as … [Read more...]
What time do your kids go to bed?
August 10, 2016 by 67 Comments
I remember a few years ago now that I wrote a blog post about getting my kids to bed by 6.30pm. It's funny (this was about 4 years ago now) but not much has really changed. We are still early dinner and bed goers around these parts, it's just how we roll. No matter how late my kids get to bed, … [Read more...]

Is it just me, or is anyone else feeling entirely NOT like themselves at the moment? Sheesh, I am in a funk and I'm doing all I can to pull myself out of it.

About time we checked in on this one isn't it? Hi Mags! I was saying to Rob just the other day how much Maggie has grown in the last few weeks.

Zigazig ah
July 21, 2016 by 22 Comments
Can you believe that it's 20 years this month since this pearler hit the airwaves? I can't tell you just how deep my love ran for these girls. I was 19, perhaps a little too old now that I come to think about it, but I fell in LOVE with the girl power and fun and these 5 ladies. How I used to … [Read more...]

The Farm Byron Bay
July 12, 2016 by 6 Comments
I think the main thing people kept telling me when I said I was going to Byron and that was "go to The Farm". So this morning, we did. I can see why everyone kept saying so - what an amazing spot. Basically a working farm their philosophy to Grow, Feed, Educate - they grow animals, flowers and … [Read more...]
Frank is now 2!
July 7, 2016 by 8 Comments
You guys, little Frank is not so little anymore. Today he is 2! And hasn't the old boy aged? Look at all that grey hair now! With his fresh cut from the groomer he is looking way more schnauzer than poodle at the moment. Schnauzer or poodle, he is 100% adored by every member of our family and … [Read more...]

I don't know if you guys are aware (most likely you are because you have lives and are across all kinds of matters other than nappies and tantrums etc). But Brenda will be thrilled because....they are back. Chokers. 90's chokers are a thing again. I know. Those Kardashians have been … [Read more...]

A delightful day outside today...it's about 2 degrees out there I think and blowing a gale. She's a little bit fresh but for this weather obsessed person, the promise of snow?

This morning my sister and I took the kids to a local kinder gymnastics class. It had been a few years since I had been there with Harper, in fact, it was the place where I was when I realised I wasn't done with kids just yet. I wrote a little about it here, but I clearly remember seeing little … [Read more...]
