Stealth expectations…
Love love love the idea of “stealth expectations”…. yes oh yes… THIS is my problem. OK…so I was reading Rising Strong by Brene Brown last night, and got to this section where she was saying that when our expectations don’t match our reality it can be really frustrating. But it can be especially disappointing, if…

Just wait while I eat my playdough spaghetti
What does working in a modern workplace look like?

A little tip for keeping on top of things…
Here’s a simple but very effective strategy which I use to help clear my mind of all the myriad of things it tries to throw at me every second of every day… Always have a notebook with you… I’ve been doing that at work for as long as I remember. I’ve tried to move to…

Dinner time hell…
I have always been very diligent and disciplined about having a dinner time routine in our house. We rarely eat in front of the TV, and always try to sit down as a family around the dinner table of an evening. Lovely. Right? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why o why is dinner time such a NIGHTMARE at our…

Let me get back to you…
I’m not very good at thinking on my feet…it is one of my many weaknesses. I would be the worst improvisation actress ever.

Yep…I totally need a wife…
I think it is fair to say, I thought I had been nailing it recently…until…well… I wasn’t. All of a sudden, a torrent of pent up exhaustion and resentment came pouring out of me like a cannonball which was directed at my husband (Shout out to my husband…love ya!…). What was his crime, you ask? …

Say it with confidence…
One of my best friends admits that sometimes she tells us facts which she isn’t 100% sure are true (you know who you are!!), but she says if you “say it with confidence” most of the time people will automatically believe you. I…on the other hand…do not have this skill. Instead, I tend to preface…

Be who you are…
It is so much harder than you think to always be your authentic self. Until I started thinking about it fairly recently, I hadn’t noticed how many times I stop myself saying something…or say something different to what I am actually thinking because I feel like that is what I “should” be saying. It’s been…

Nailed it or failed it?
This week has been pretty massive, had to fly interstate for work (at the same time as my husband did …grr…I booked mine in first), it was my sons 10th birthday and it was only the 2nd week back at school (so I still haven’t quite got through the pile of first week of laundry,…

Just do it…
Do you ever procrastinate when you actually need to work on something big? I’ll admit, I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed recently. My brain is in overdrive. Everything is whirring around in my head like a machine. I have all these ideas to blog, but I haven’t posted anything for weeks (err..sorry guys). I have…
