Welcome

Somehow it is already 5 days into May! It was a busy start to May with ALOT on at work and family (Al’s parents and sister) arriving to...

I woke this morning at 4.45 (naturally, no alarm) and was SO looking forward to 1-2 hours to myself before my kids woke up. As you can...

During April, I joined in with the CBWC, initiated by Elisabeth. The idea is to walk at least 10 minutes every day. By setting the bar...

I’ve been enjoying quite a few other bloggers posting these Day In The Life posts (SHU, Elisabeth, Jenny among others) so I thought I’d...

Almost inevitably O is now sick (and Al too, but mildly). Exact same symptoms as E (high fevers, cough), so it looks like it has a long...

This year, I chose to nominate one of my goals each Quintile to be my 1% goal. What does that mean? Well, Brooke McAlary, a great writer...

The weekend just gone was busy and parenting heavy- multiple play dates, lots of solo parenting, lots of home chores and errands. It was...

I started this post on Friday, though it is Saturday now because apparently it takes me at least two days to write one post! Proud mum...

My day always involves multiple cups of coffee I originally started to write a post about how I organise my life and time right now, but...

So, how did I go implementing my strategy for a improved weekend discussed in the last post? Well, it was a mixed bag but overall pretty...

Now that the kids are older, weekends are definitely more restorative and less exhausting than they used to be. 6.5 and 3 is easier on a...

I've been in a real non-fiction trend lately. My favourite genres for non-fiction tend to be self-improvement, time...

February was a very busy month with two work trips, high workload and some challenging financial stuff Al and I had to navigate. So by...

We just arrived back from two nights camping at a local campsite with another family. This was our first camping trip as a family (now...
