A night in … out + Crust giveaway!

December 2, 2011

A night off from cooking has always been an exciting treat around these parts. Friday night always seemed the most appropriate night, a week of work was done and the weekend stretched out in front of us glimmering of freedom and opportunity. Since becoming parents, the occasional take away night has become something even more. [...]

Whirlwind weeks

October 22, 2011

The weeks just keep passing me by. Is it just me or does the second half of the year seem to enter super speed mode, spiraling out of control into Christmas and beyond? We’re down at my parents at the moment about to fly to Sydney for a 30th birthday party, just the two of [...]

Yesterday was our five year wedding anniversary. It has disappeared in a blink, but looking at our wedding photos it seems so long ago. Alot can change in five years, and lots of things have. The obstacles that have been thrown our way have made us stronger and I’m grateful to say that standing here, [...]

I was starting to feel smug that cold season was in full swing and J had not had so much as a sniffle. The minute the thought crossed my mind I knew I was in big trouble! Illness of some kind would not be far off. The universe seems to have a tricky way to [...]

Word to yo Mummas

May 8, 2011

It’s mothers’ day here in Australia – a day to sit back and lap up the gifts, food and love from ones children. My Facebook feed has been full of ‘Happy Mothers’ Day’ type status updates. While they all carried with them a lovely sentiment they got a bit boring after awhile until this video [...]

Saturday morning saw us loading into the car for a road trip out to Ipswich to have breakfast with the Fat Controller at the opening day of Day Out with Thomas at the Workshops Rail Museum. The invite arrived in my work inbox and I had to have a chuckle to myself at how excited [...]

Today was the second and last day of my working week. My two-day working week seems to be the envy of my work colleagues, who like to make reference to my ‘long weekend’ or ‘holiday’ any chance they get. But even though from the outside it may seem like I am enjoying the perfect balance of paid [...]

I am currently down at my parents place along with my little sister to celebrate our respective birthdays. Mine was Wednesday, and my sister’s is today. She is the big 3-0. And I have just turned a slightly larger number. I think I’m officially getting to the age that dare not speak its name. Who [...]

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about our old house – our home for the past six years. And although it wasn’t our own house, it felt very much like home. It was hard saying goodbye. But in saying goodbye to that old girl, we have been welcomed into a new old house. This [...]

Today marked the end of an era, today I farewelled our old house. I rattled around in its empty rooms, J crawling around at my feet, his excited cries echoing around the walls. This old house, it was our home for six years. I first walked in its door with a young man I’d [...]
