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…

…one step wrong and I’m going to fall. This week has been one of those weeks, where all aspects of my life seem to be firing on all cylinders and requiring my attention. Part of the realities of “balance” is not a neatly packaged life with time each day to juggle all your key…

Are you really busy?
This morning I was running around like a headless chook (as usual), I’ve managed to do my exercise (tick), get the lunches ready (tick), tidy the house (tick) dropped the kids on the school walking bus (tick) and now I’m at work and my mind is buzzing. I have about 20 screens open on my…
