It’s Ground Hog Day! When?! Every bloody day! Day after day we put our kids, our chores, our routines, our household maintenance, our jobs and our errands before any kind of me time! It can often get to a point where we’ve forgotten exactly who we are as a person rather other than just “Mum”. […]

When was the last time you did something for yourself? Finding it hard to remember? Don’t worry; you’re not strange, you’re not a minority and you’re not alone…you’re probably a mum! And if you’re anything like us then you’ll also be finding it hard to believe that it’s already May! Where is the time going?! It’s […]

Finally I have found the time (and the courage!) to write about my three birthing experiences and share the reason as to why I decided to have an elective c-section for my third birth after I had successfully given birth vaginally to my second child. What was I thinking? I’m sure many of you would […]

Wow! I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since I originally wrote this blog! My little “big” boy Lenny will now be going into Grade 2 this week and I just know I will feel emotional on his first day back! Not only because I’ll be watching him enter his new grade for the […]

Recently I lost my virginity. Yep, my cherry got popped. I am no longer a girl whose never had a cleaner, but a wise woman whose going to book one whenever shit hits the fan (or when it hits under the rim of the toilet seat at least!). I wish I was the type of […]

Recently my wife (Susie) went on a 3 week overseas holiday with her mother and left me (Ben, the Dad), our two kids Indi (10) and Sam (8) and our black Labrador (Pepper) home to fend for ourselves… Sure! No worries! I enthusiastically answered as she casually dropped the idea of a familyless vaction one Sunday […]

The end of the year is fast approaching, and that means that a particularly exciting event is just around the corner…Christmas! We love EVERYTHING about it! The decorations, the presents, the tree, the food, the giving and the lights…. oh boy are we obsessed with Christmas lights! “Worried about getting back on track with your […]

It’s the age old debate…dummy or no dummy. I literally cried the first time I gave Lenny a dummy…I didn’t want to do it! I didn’t want my darling little baby to have a plastic sucker in his mouth! But…we were both literally crying without one. He was around one week old when I succumbed. […]

A tired mama will do just about anything for some rest. Especially when she’s entered (or in my case re-entered with terrified caution) life with a newborn. And thankfully, for me, part of doing just about anything for some rest, meant I had to succumb to the fact that just because I have three children, […]

It’s the age old question. What do you buy an expecting mum who has everything? You know the one, the mama that’s already got kids, the mama that’s super organized and has everything pre purchased and sorted from baby clothes and a playmat to the booking for her kids wedding reception (!) It’s hard isn’t […]
