I turned another year old yesterday. 39! Yep, that means the big 4-0 next year. Wowzers. I’m ok with that, although I will savour one more year of being in my 30’s for now! We had a couple of days in Sydney to celebrate and have a break away. Sorry…

Why I love blogging
I have been tapping away at this little blog for almost 10 years. Yep, in 2006 I started this as a hobby. Some of my earlier posts are under a different blogspot address, but most of them are over here. It’s had its ups and downs and sometimes I’ve taken a short…
A camping & fishing video
Brought to you by Officeworks. A few weeks ago Officeworks challenged me to fulfill a project or hobby that I love. You can read it here. I was asked to think about how I might use my downtime to do something I’d been putting off for ages. I was asked…
I’m joining The Remarkables Group
A couple of weeks ago I kind of fell off the couch when a lovely email arrived asking if I’d be interested in joining the team at The Remarkables Group. Now what does all this mean, and who are they? The Remarkables Group is a talent agency for influencers. I’ve…
My boys have grown…
On Mother’s Day I managed to get this snap taken with my boys. Took us a few turns (rogue hand, stupid face…)! I look at this photo and can’t even believe they are so big. My eldest is 14. He is 1cm taller than me already! He makes me stand…
I do like to clean (call me crazy!)
Here are some snaps from around my house this week… call me crazy but I do like to clean! Yes, I live in a house full of boys, but that doesn’t mean everything needs to be putrid all of the time (well sometimes IT IS total slothness around here!). This was…
I’ve been feeling under the weather
I’ve been under the weather – fancy not blogging for almost a week! Sorry guys, but I couldn’t bring myself to write anything this week. Last week I started feeling unwell, I knew I had an abscess forming. If you’re new to my blog, I have had crohn’s disease for…
I always doubt my big plans
Are you a goal setter? A planner? Do you read all the motivation stuff going around and try to “create your own frequency”? I just don’t know where I sit with it all most of the time. I always preach the “ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE” mantra, but sometimes I just don’t…
Weekend adventure to Paddys River Falls
Yesterday we decided to take a little trip up to Paddys River Falls. It’s only about an hour from Wagga. We packed some lunch and headed off with our cousins and some friends… We are at that part of the school holidays when playing with each other and being at home is wearing…
Homesickness
We’re battling with a teen who gets sooooo homesick and anxious. He never wants to sleep anywhere or go far from home. This is not a bad thing, just hard to help him through it! But I was the same when I was his age. I was terrible. No sleepovers…
How are we almost at the end of the year?
I don’t know where this year (in particular) has actually gone. I know I probably say that all the time, but I really do not know how I got to November. I am not ready for the Christmas hype. I am still trying to recover from a looong Winter. I read something…
Slowly updating our pool area
Halfway through last Summer we got a pool put in. We have a very small space to work with and the shape of our yard was on an angle. I wrote about that process of deciding where to the put the pool here. We also had to put a small…
