It’s snowing and we’re finally experiencing a little winter. It’s too cold outside for my littles (and me if I’m perfectly honest) and we can’t go anywhere. COVID restrictions have closed all of the energy-getting-out outlets for little people and I AM SLOWLY GOING INSANE. We don’t have a huge house and it’s getting smaller […]
I forgot how time intensive teaching a little person to eat actual food is. It’s messy, takes forever and is so hit or miss. Even though yesterday he loved the avocado slices, today it’s like I’ve attempted to serve him hot garbage food sprinkled with mouse crap. On the 1,000th wipe of his face and […]
I’ll be honest and say I am just writing this piece because I told myself I’d write at least once a week and, well, I haven’t written this week. Usually something spurs me on to write like an incident or an experience and that just hasn’t happened this week. Either I’m too busy to notice […]
Yesterday was what I would classify as a ‘Garbage Fire Day’. You know the one where it starts out horribly, is met by a flaming bag of dog turds and capped off nicely with a dash of rage and lunacy? Yep. That’s the one. My little dude has started waking at 4:30 a.m. lately just […]
I’ve been generally feeling like I’m walking around with 50 per cent battery life since I gave birth in May. Somedays 20 per cent. The only days I feel decent are the days I can work out. These days are few and far between right now because COVID and TIME. I thought it was time […]
Do you ever imagine a whole different life for your family (or just you) and mentally move to wherever you’ve conjured up and start a new life, all before you’ve gotten out of your pj’s and finished your morning coffee? Me too. Yesterday I mentally moved our entire life back to Brisbane, Australia and it […]
Anyone else forget they have the ability to take a deep breath this week? Crikey, it’s been a big one. If you don’t know me, then you wouldn’t know (but may assume), that I’m not a ‘uuuugggggggee’ fan of the current US President or his government or ethos (read lack thereof). He is entertaining though, […]
Dance parties have become a recent fad in our home. They consist mostly of the soundtrack to Frozen or Onward and some erratic body movements. I love them. Like any parent, I take a million videos and photos a day of our kids and then feverishly scroll through them in bed at night. It’s almost […]
When we were first plunged into pandemic mode, you’d better believe I spent a small fortune on crafting supplies, cooking supplies and crap with a capital C to try and occupy my toddler. Cut to month nine of this garbage fire of a crisis and I have depleted all of my beautifully organized backstock (thank […]
It’s been about three years since I did anything mildly like updating this blog so excuse me while I work out the rust in my keyboard. In the time since I last posted, I’ve made three humans and birthed two of them. Started a new job. Travelled. Been in lock down (haven’t we all?!) Gained […]
