My GP said this to me this morning and it's not yet certain whether she is extremely insightful or some type of witch doctor that cursed me because the rest of the day so far...

Who's the party for, when they're still under four?
Nothing new to see here as am feeling guilty again *boring*. This time it's in addition to the usual suspects:
- telling off husband in front of the boys (swear words...

How long is a piece of balloon string? and more importantly what colour?
My first baby boy turned two yesterday. TWO! I can't believe it's been two whole years since I met first met him, coughing and spluttering after being dragged into being. What...

Time for Mother's Day
If someone asks me what’s the one thing in the whole world that I want for Mother's Day I wouldn’t hesitate:

Oh to be Ita!
Like many in Australia I tuned in to the ABC’s Paper Giants on Sunday and Monday nights. I was born in the 70s and the footage of red rattlers~, paperboys selling at intersections,...

What's with the Landslide of tears?
So watching Glee the other night and trying to chill out after the 5-7pm dinner, bath and bedtime double shift.
