2013
December 31, 2013 I should probably write about the year that was, as is my custom. Except I’m running a bit behind this year! One thing that is really cool about this year is that we kicked off 2013 with my best friend of 23 years, Brooke and her family in Adelaide; we then said […]
Happy new year!
Happy new year, from our family to yours! We had a beautiful Christmas at home. One of the best Christmases ever, actually. There is something beautiful in the simplicity of staying at home with your young children and just ‘being.’ The kids loved staying home to play with their new gifts and eat their favourite […]
Fraudulent pregnant lady
I feel a bit like a fraud. A few weeks ago I posted about how I was managing to work and be a mum and be pregnant (here). Whilst those tips certainly helped me maintain my professional life amidst being a mummy and wife and homemaker and baby-brewer, they couldn’t save me, and I started […]

I think of all the times I’ve commented on a pregnant lady’s bulging belly. Usually, with wide eyes, I’ll say something like (jokingly) ‘did you swallow a watermelon?’ Or ‘are you having a baby?’ Or ‘your tummy is so big!’ It’s not that I want to offend. It’s just that I find a round belly […]
19 weeks
If I’m going to have this baby early like the others, I am now at least halfway through my pregnancy. It has been a fairly rough start, with yucky morning sickness as well as gastro bugs and sinusitis and head colds and a general feeling of fatigue. I love feeling the baby wriggle and kick […]
Those moments
daffodils sourced from the side of our road Every now and then I have that warm fuzzy feeling that my world is spinning around just perfectly. You know – when you feel organised; you’ve cleaned the house; there are fresh flowers on the table; you have a plan for dinner; the sun is shining and […]
