Ugh.  Whatever strain of flu I’ve had this week is rapidly outstaying its welcome. It was win though when I woke up this morning feeling 85% of normal.  Gave my skipping rope what for at the gym to celebrate. I can’t confirm this with my own skin or eyes but it has hit 26C in…

Today’s been a different kind of Tuesday for me.  My official ‘child free’ day of the week is usually a fully scheduled of errands, ‘me time’ treats or catch ups with friends. But today, I took a nearly fully recovered Preschooler SSG to the library along with my laptop and wrote. Not just for the…

My Monday morning was proudly brought to you by the following sponsors…. Fisherman’s Friend lozenges for that scratchy throat that needed to get through 5 hours of talking without a coughing fit, coffee (of course) and … Nudestix lip + cheek pencil in the shade Mystic. www.nudestix.com I’m both loving and hating that this GWP…

We seem to be caught up in an endless cycle of the very worst actions that human kind can inflict upon itself.  Terrorism, racism, abuse against children so vile that I can’t even bring myself to read beyond the headlines…  Where will it end, how will it end and will any of my thoughts make…

Winter, I love how you practically force us all to make accommodations for your arctic winds and bone chilling crisp mornings. Mi Goreng just had to be served for breakfast. Coat – Uniqlo, jumper – Target, jeggings – Next, trainers – Nike thanks to ASOS and their excellent site wide discount codes. New red duffle…

Hello, hello from day off Tuesday land.  Where life is looking and feeling decidedly less frantic than it was yesterday.   Baked oats for the week’s breakfasts. I’ve been for a slow swim with the nannas at the aquatic centre, done a bit of meal planning and prep and whiled away a bit of time…

I’ve just sat down and done the maths.  This is my tenth year as a Sydneysider.  Long time readers of the blog will know that I’m a blow in from Perth.  A major reason I first came across was for work and it is because of work rosters and allocations that I’ve gotten to know…

In the dreariness of winter, my idea of bliss is a comforting snack or two to go with a steaming mug of tea as I make my way through a book.  Or else, the discovery of some exciting new winter food launch.  So far this winter, I’ve had more luck with the foods than the…

Yesterday was one hard earned day off.  It’s been a bit crazy at work with winter hitting so hard and so fast while in the background I’ve had lots of things going on.  Nice things but still lots of things that need energy and time. But yesterday?  It was all about taking my own sweet…
