In over my head…
It’s Saturday night (at least I think it is), and I find myself sitting in a corner at Los Angeles airport with tears streaming down my cheeks. My jeans are ripped and my clothes smell…and I’m hungry…in short, I’m feeling incredibly sorry for myself. How did I get here? Well, it all started a few…

School holidays…the struggle is real
I have a kind of love hate relationship with school holidays. Any working parent will tell you about the additional angst that comes with the juggle of school holidays; vacation care, holiday programs, day swapping with friends, taking time off work, the boredom, the complaining and the lack of structure. The lead up to holidays…

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

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…

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? …

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,…

Sorry I missed you last week…
You may (or probably not) have noticed that I missed my blog last week. Since I started this blog I’ve tried to consistently blog once per week. Last week it all felt a little more crazy than usual. My husband was away traveling for work for the week, the home phone and internet stopped working…

Slow down or lean in?…I’m so confused
As you know, I’m a little bit addicted to personal and career development stuff at the moment, I’m inhaling books, blogs and articles like oxygen. I’ve become incredibly curious and interested. I think it stems from trying to work out my own mind, which is always searching for answers (not that I am entirely sure…

Why not having a plan makes me anxious…
Hello Sunshine!! I was so excited this weekend when the sun came out from behind the clouds and the sky was shiny blue. My mood lifted instantly. It feels like it has been a long winter here (actually I read somewhere that it has been the coldest winter in 15years), and my mood slumped along…
