I attended a new networking group yesterday, a table full of fabulous looking women who run amazing, fabulous businesses. I thought that if I wore my best jacket and did my makeup, I might just be able to fit in… but there I was, rocking up late with two children in tow looking like a […]

Dear Anxiety Free Friend, I know it’s hard to understand me sometimes. My moods, my insecurities, my hesitations, my million and one questions. You see, it’s difficult to explain to someone who doesn’t have anxiety just what having anxiety is all about. It’s not just that I feel anxious. It’s not just that I’m stressed, […]

Today I turn 35. Growing older used to scare me. I’ve been telling everyone I’m 33 for the past year because I just liked that number, it sounds less old than 34. In fact, I’ve been telling people I’m 33 so often that I recently had to get the calculator out to confirm just how […]

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”. […]

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 […]
