A real-life look at modern motherhood
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Today was my 35th birthday. Despite my misgivings in the lead up that 35 seems like an awfully large number, today as I celebrated with a quiet weekend staying at my parents’ house I feel nothing but contentment. So, as […]
Ever felt like the universe is constantly giving you little kicks up the bum in the direction you’re supposed to go? It happens to me sometimes. Sometimes it’s playful and other times it really, really hurts. I notice I get little kicks whenever I think seriously about giving up blogging here. On two occasions now […]
I wonder as mothers why we struggle so hard to put ourselves first? Is it for fear of being accused as ‘selfish’? Is it a warped kind of guilt that if we’re not busting our arse for our family all of the time that we’re failing them? Is it that lingering societal pressure that women […]
I am proud and honoured to welcome my friend Deb Eccleston here to Save Mum’s Sanity, to share her health wake-up call with you all. Deb’s powerful words are a reminder of how important it is to listen to our bodies and seek help when we feel it’s telling us that something is not quite […]
Well, it’s now been more than two weeks since the whirlwind of the Problogger Training Event passed me by and since then I have been fervently trying not to fall into the ‘life is getting in the way’ excuse for not blogging. But in saying that, it really has. Work and home life has been […]

So, these are some yummy little numbers I baked yesterday. I’ve been looking for a good gluten-free cookie recipe for a while and I’d never had all the ingredients, so it became one of those things I’d get around to when the pantry supplies and recipe gods aligned, which let’s face it would be never!

Yesterday, I took myself off on a little me-time solo journey to YogaFest – a full day celebration of all things yoga and yoga-related at Brisbane’s beautiful Old Museum. It really did remind me of my music festival days of highlighting the program and cursing the ‘clashes’ between two red hot acts you’d like to […]
It didn’t seem so long ago that I was blogging about my toddler boy and my newborn, but that was over a year ago. I looked at my boys playing together the other day and I realised I really can’t say I have a toddler and a baby anymore. My baby has become my toddler […]
