    Hi, Noah? I was wondering if I could borrow something…

    Today, summer officially ended. Then the rain set in. And I resigned myself to another week of trying to work through the never-ending Mother Of Mountains that is our family’s ridiculously huge pile of dirty, smelly laundry. Impressively large at the best of times, when it rains I swear it doubles in size overnight. The only one who doesn’t mind this […]

    Monday Mayhem…

    Are you ready for tomorrow? Packed with glitz, glamour, drama and/or intrigue… take your pick, there’ll be something for everyone. There are some definite perks about working from home – like being able to have the TV on to watch all the highlights (and possible lowlights!) of the stars on the red carpet! There’ll be more sets of Spanx Underwear walking the walk than publicists […]

    To drink or not to drink. That is the question…

    I think my Body Of A Certain Age is trying to tell me something. And I’ve been a bit slack about listening lately. In fact I’ve had my ears stuffed with cotton wool because I’m not that keen on hearing the message. If you’re my age, you’ll understand this. Once you get past 40, the daily news from the BOACA is rarely information you want to […]

    Marvellous Magda…

    Australia has always loved Magda Szubanksi. And why wouldn’t we? She’s one very talented woman; comedian, actress, television presenter, radio host, author and just recently, weight loss spokesperson. Yesterday Magda hit the headlines for a very different reason, releasing a statement saying she was ‘1000% in support of gay marriage’ and then later that night confirmed on […]

    RIP Whitney Houston…

    From the moment I first heard That Voice, I was in total awe. What a gift. The sheer quality and power – simply stunning. Her voice was like no other; pure and strong yet edged with a sweetness that literally made your heart ache. Whitney’s songs were a part of my youth – I cannot tell you how many times my friends and I shook our collective booty’s […]

    The day we became another statistic…

    You never think it will happen to you. But then, horribly, it does. The experience robs you of more than just mere material goods. The day had all the makings of a normal Friday. I’d dropped Sons 2 & 3 at school, come home and started the usual; laundry, dishes, take meat out for dinner that night. Our crappy summer wore […]

    A Safety Net…

    There have been Mums and Dads raising kids since the dawn of time. Trying hard to get it right. Sometimes getting it wrong. But mostly aiming to raise happy, well adjusted functioning adults. It’s a journey full of twists and turns. Highs and lows. Graduations and/or groundings. Most of us get there in the end, […]

    Two weddings and no Hugh Grant…

    We’re going to a wedding on the beach this weekend. The bride and groom are a gorgeous couple, really great company and have been friends of ours for a long time. It’s been ages since we’ve been to a wedding but as it turns out this will be the first of two we are to attend this year. It’s funny how that works, […]

About Me

Hi, I’m Sarah!
