Greetings of the season

Every year I sit down to write a Christmas/end of year blog post and wonder how I can possibly wrap up the year that was. Far from normal once again. Or as the common phrase seems to be these days, “the new normal”. What a year it has been, some good, some bad (my children […]

Comparatively Crazy

It’s hard to believe how fast this year is already going! I’ve been a bit slack with updating my own blog thanks to the craziness of mum life and working life combined. But alas, I am still around and in turn so are my delightful children (for now!) and the many interesting stories that come […]

A moment of reflection

It’s true that I don’t often take the time to think about the good stuff. I know there’s plenty of it. Well, I like to hope there is anyway. I always find a way to highlight everything that goes wrong instead. Thanks negative brain! But there are two little people in my life that I […]

Tick, tick, tick….cross

I didn’t sign up for any of this. The drama. The tantrums. The sassy attitude. The back chatting. And even the hitting. Not just each, but I’ve been known to cop a toy or even a limb to the face/head. Nope I didn’t sign up for that. None of it. Geez, I wonder where they […]

Going up and down – where is the middle ground?

There are days my heart feels full and other days where it feels heavy. The strain of motherhood knows no bounds. The responsibility for the little people in my life can sometimes get a bit overwhelming. They can drive me to the brink of insanity and then just when I feel like I’m going to […]

Take a deep breath and…run?!

Is the day over yet? I feel like all I’ve done is yell and get angry. Damn rain ruining all the fun. Why do kids go absolutely bonkers when it rains and find my last nerve with everything they do?! Even if I walk away, they find me and keep on going and going. It’s […]

Monkey see, monkey do

Life really can be hard to figure out sometimes. I know my role and what I should be doing but it doesn’t always feel like that’s the path it should follow. Confused? Yeah me too! Haha! Parenting is downright confusing, hard and like the world’s biggest and never ending rollercoaster! But no one ever said […]

Always there

There’s nothing scarier than being a mum. Okay, maybe being taken by a shark or twisty rollercoasters might be up there, but you get what I mean. It terrifies me to think I’m responsible for two little humans. That it’s up to me to help shape their future, teach them things and help them become […]

Always asking questions

How do you know if you’re doing it right? This whole parenting thing? Even life in general? You don’t! You can only do your best and see what happens after that. It’s pretty much flying blind, winging it, put your beer goggles on and just go with the flow type of stuff. Maybe some structure […]

Raising the bar

“Mummy you do it for me.” “No mummy I do it myself.” So, which is it kiddo, you do it yourself or am I doing it for you? It depends on what it is of course. And it also depends on the day, week, month or even year. Time of day too. And if the […]
