Safely Surviving the Storm.
As far as being a Sydney storm survivor goes, I’m counting myself lucky. Bins full of broken umbrellas have been a common sight in Sydney over the last few days. We’re now easing (!!) into day three and I’ve been touched by the miracle of a fold up umbrella that’s still going strong, touch…

We’ll Get In, Get Out and Get The Job Done.
Today’s post was inspired by an SMH article by Jessica Irvine on working mothers that some of my favourite people on twitter were discussing last night. Irvine was writing in response to a study by Ernst & Young which found that women working part time are the most productive in the workforce only wasting 11.1%…

A Grey Monday After A Golden Weekend.
I always knew the golden sunrises of autumn weren’t going to last forever but I wasn’t prepared for them disappearing by the end of the weekend. It was only on Saturday morning that I was greeted by this beautiful rose gold sky as I made my way to breakfast up the road with Toddler SSG.…

Made It To Friday. Carpool Karaoke.
Friday morning are always a bit special at our place. It’s the last working day of the week, the last daycare drop off of the week and together they give the morning a ‘we’ve practically made it to the weekend’ kind of vibe. All of which allows me to press pause on the morning for…

On Wilfully Misunderstanding Gwyneth.
I don’t usually have to think too hard when I’m at the supermarket. I mostly stick to my shopping list, occasionally pop a few impulse purchases into my trolley and have never had to wait anxiously at the register hoping that my payment goes through on my card. Though there was some drama the other…

On An Indoors Kind of Sunday Afternoon.
Today’s morning tea – fruit salad and chocolate cake with tea cups of virtual Moccona. It’s just after lunch at SSG Manor and any wooden toy that has the potential to be trodden on or tripped over has been packed away. Nap time has just started and I’m sitting here just enjoying sitting down. The…

Toddlers and Their Parents. Friday News.
God bless the parents of toddlers in the age of Instagram and Facebook. Could you look yourself in the mirror right now and tell yourself that you actually would be able to live without their endless heartwarming photos and sometimes not so hilarious transcripts of the most recent conversation they had with their wise beyond their years…

Shaun, Sugar and George, In No Particular Order.
Ugh. The weather. It’s caught me by a rather unpleasant surprise. Toddler SSG’s supply of flannel PJs is currently at a critical low and the racks in Target’s boys sleepwear were looking pretty sparse yesterday. They were down to two rows of odds and ends tacked on the end of licensed T-shirts none of which…

Tuesday’s Goings On.
It’s always a bit ‘back to earth with a thud’ after long weekends, isn’t it? There’s so much catching up to do whilst simultaneously trying to get back into the groove of your regular week and its ebbs and flows of jobs and commitments. I know it’s old news but all my clocks have been…
