Life is Cool. Live it. Love it. Share it.
Ah, the school holidays… A break from school lunches and uniforms, drop offs and pick ups… It can be a great time of fun and family and friends, but it is a perilous balancing act between relaxing and doing stuff… It can be tricky… Last week I wrote about the importance of Planning when it comes to holidays. Then I wrote about the most important aspect {to my kids anyway} – the Food. And then I wrote about the importance {Read More}

Do you have days when you are neither ‘Here’ nor ‘There’? I am having one of those days today. My head is somewhere entirely different to the rest of my body. For the last few years, I have spent my rationed daydream hours being in London; anitque shops in Chelsea, market in Brixton, pubs near the Tate Modern, an afternoon of art at the National Gallery. Eating ‘Open’ Fish and Chips, people watching and catching the Tube to various places {Read More}
Today, I am going to take you on a mini tour of my house. I am so thankful to have this house. It is our first home, so it has extra sentimental value. It is the only home my children have known. We have been renovating between having babies and we are almost finished, if there is such a thing! Our lounge room is very light and airy, I love our couches and I love sitting here with Mr Cool {Read More}
Image…. On a really good day, I am pretty hard on myself. I think the most awful things about myself. I blame myself for pretty much everything {sorry is my most used word, sorry} and I tend to be quite critical of …. um… everything. I am at a point where I am feeling brave enough to tackle some of these issues… In the meantime though…. I don’t think I am a very good parent. I yell too much. I {Read More}
I have been feeling SOOOO much better over the past few weeks. Oh my, I was really run down. I am now all sparkly eyed, {almost} full of energy and excited about getting back into shape and back into life. One thing I noticed most about being run down, and what has motivated me the most, has been our family life. I have been a right mare to live with for the last few months. I have been cranky and {Read More}
Miss Z wanted to buy something at the grocery shop. I was in a hurry. She only had 50 cents. She wanted a Barbie. She wanted a lolly. She wanted bubble mix. I said no to everything. In a moment of panic, she spotted a box of chalk and asked if she could have that. I was about to say no {I am wired to say no, I really need to get over this} and then thought, well, sure! It {Read More}
A few weeks ago, I got cheeky and sent out a tweet to some big bloggers on Twitter. I asked for some tips on what I can do to grow my blog. Here are the things they said… Kelly from Be A Fun Mum said, ”Look back at your previous posts and find one that YOU loved writing the most; think about why.” Well… I really like this post on My Favourite Accessories and I wrote about Converse shoes, I {Read More}
As I was getting out of the car at the shops the other day, I noticed a couple of mums talking, they were getting ready to say goodbye and their little poppets were getting fidgetty while waiting. As you can well imagine, when one mum began to walk off, the {tired, cross} little girls decided that they would start crying. One of the little girls in a blink decided to run after the other little girl, across the busy carpark. {Read More}
