My sister and I have had a long running joke that we think our Mum is obsessed with polar fleece (Mum reads my blog so she will be raising an eyebrow at this point!). She has lots of polar fleece jumpers and vests. And sometimes when she’s really cold, I’ve…
Browsing CategoryA day in my life
Checking in…
Hey gang, just checking in. I’m ok. Thanks for all your emails and messages. It’s been a long couple of days… Yesterday I fasted all day and took picoprep overnight for a colonoscopy today. If you’ve had that, you think you’re going to die sometimes. So I only got to…
I’ll be back next week
I’m heading away for a few days… there will be crickets over here until next week. Don’t worry, I’ll be back! I would NEVER just abandon you! I’m not taking my laptop, so I can’t blog 🙂 Never fear, I’ll still be on twitter, facebook and instagram… 😉 I was…
Chicken and Corn Chowder (or Nanchow)
Remember the cooking challenge we did on The Block? Well, we won with this recipe… My Nan makes it and now we make it! Ok, so I am NOT a cook. Not good at it. Although, I am capable, it’s just that I don’t enjoy it. I cook for survival.…
Everyone is Instagramming
I’ve been bitten. It’s got a hold on me! Who doesn’t love a good selfie? LOL! Taking photos of my every move has become an addiction.  And we all know I get addicted to things easily (ummm like twitter!). So Instagramming my entire life has become a little project of mine. I’ve…
My first blog started in 2006…
I was asked yesterday (after writing about never ever looking back) about my early blogging days and I thought I should share some of those blogs with you… This picture above is from a blog I started called Little La La’s. It started April 10, 2007. It was a blog…
Never ever look back
I was reading some blog posts the other day giving advice on social media. Boy, aren’t there are a stack of bad and confusing posts out there? If you’re new to the game, you could be left feeling overwhelmed and frightened! Do this, do that, don’t do this… I love…
I abuse my pyjamas
I would wear them all day, every day, if I could. Today is going to be one of those days. I’m not taking them off (except for footy training later today). Do you even come home from being somewhere and get back in to your pyjamas? I will get dressed…
I won a freaking Logie!
Well, WE won a Logie, but it sounds more amazing when I say I won a Logie – and why not? Ha! What a crazy few days I’ve had! But I want to start with a huge thank you to Helen Manuell who made our gorgeous dresses. I have never…
The first official day of school holidays
I’ll try not to kill them on the first day. I’ll be patient and calm. Except it’s 2 degrees this morning! So it’s going to be a cold day (which means lots of inside play). I am off to get some blood tests this morning – the first lot since…
How often do you eat take-away food?
How often do you eat take-away food? Are you once a week, twice a week, once a month?? I’m always curious how often people are eating it because those shops never look empty! We don’t have it too often, maybe every second week. And if we do I always always…
The Gutsy Challenge | Give for GI Cancer Research
Following on from my post yesterday about my crohn’s disease, I thought I would share with you a worthwhile cause I am involved in… It’s called The Gutsy Challenge. It’s all about raising awareness for Gastro-Intestional Cancers by encouraging kids to eat more fruit and vegetables. “With 26 Australians dying…
