Breakfast, lunch, dinner…repeat…
Yet again, I found myself spending my weekend drowning in a sea of recipe books. I used to like planning meals, Hell, i used to ENJOY going to the supermarket. But, people, those days are gone…long gone. Planning meals is getting harder and harder by the day. I buy food, and the kids…well…eat it. So,…

Got something you need to talk about?
Talking about it helps…. I know, not exactly a new concept…we all know this is the case. And anyone who knows me would most likely tell you that I have ZERO trouble with this concept, I talk hard and fast. I am, generally speaking, a sharer. When I am down, the first thing I…

Seriously, my career does NOT make me a bad mother…
Sorry peeps but I have to get onto my soap box for a small moment this week. Miranda Devine published this short article “Don’t let your career make you a bad mother” the other week, and not surprisingly…it has caused a bit of a stir among the media. Admittedly, when I first heard this article…

One of those days…
So far, it feels like my day is not going to plan. I got up to take the dog for a walk, but when I got dressed and walked outside with the lead… I realized it is raining (much to the dog’s confusion). I had a message from our grocery delivery service saying our…

Blissful moments…
I’m lying on my back, bobbing on the surface of the water. It was cold when I got in, a refreshing hit from the heat of the sand and the sun. But now it feels warm, like a salty cocoon. The waves are coming thick and fast, but I’m far enough out to just float…

Three words for 2017…
It’s nearly back at work time for me. I’m both disappointed that the holidays are coming to an end, and somewhat excited to see what the new year might hold. This morning, I saw this post from Suze Muse and it got me thinking about what my three words for 2017 (yes…I am totally…

What do I stand for at work?
I have a new boss at work, and it occurs to me that they knows nothing about me…except perhaps the things that other people may have said. Which has led me to stop and really think about my brand and reputation, because I guess it has been a while since I have had to think…

Rainbows, rainbows, rainbows…
I absolutely love rainbows, there is something about the sweeping colour across a bleak sky that just lifts me up and puts me in a better mood. Recently I’ve seen so many rainbows and I love this visual reminder of such an important metaphor, because, you can’t have the rainbows without the rain. And yes, …

Whatever you do…don’t mess with my sleep…
All the articles I have read of late are touting the importance of sleep. Apparantly on average we need about 7-8 hours of sleep a night , Arianna Huffington is such a big advocate in her book Thrive . I have figured out that I am someone who needs about 9. I love my sleep. …
