    Music for Monday

    For the next two weeks we’ll be glued to our TV screens watching sporting teams do battle at the London Olympics. And if you’re like me, probably cringing at the standard of the television commentary, haphazard as it is (Eddie McGuire, I’m looking at YOU). But for the athletes, four years of hard slog and […]

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme

    I wanted to share this powerful post with you all today. It’s written by Kim from All Consuming and it sums up everything, from the importance of implementing the NDIS to the political posturing that’s been going on by various political leaders this week. Take the time to read it – and spread the word. We […]

    Where do bus passes go to die?

    Rise and shine! So, we’re up for another school day and I’m gently trying to hurry Mr 14 along. Like me, he is NOT a morning person. Especially today. He is mono-syllabic and moves with the urgency of a turtle. “Come on, mate. Don’t want to miss the bus.” He gives me a look that […]

  • Music for Monday

    Monday is always a tough day to get going, isn’t it? I’m usually wishing it was still Sunday, that I could simply ignore that early morning alarm and snuggle deeper under the covers. But then the knowledge crowds my brain that unless I get up, I will have children at home all day and NOT […]

    Who’s gonna drive you home tonight?

    Like most parents, I wear many different hats on a daily basis. One of the most regularly worn is the one of Taxi Driver. A huge part of my weekly routine involves driving someone somewhere. Living in a large metropolitan city, that can easily translate to A LOT of driving before you know it. One […]

    Boy, interrupted…

    As a parent, the headline in todays Sun-Herald is the personification of every nightmare I’ve ever had: ‘I promise that we’re going to have a really good time’ Tom Kelly’s soothing words to his anxious girlfriend For those who are unaware of this story, Tom Kelly was an 18 year old boy who was killed in […]

    Pressure… Pain… and Pajamas.

    Don’t try this at home, people. Definitely not the way I’d recommend starting your day. Image credit: Deborah Leigh I’m talking a Mega Migraine, as in ‘OMG morning sun, could you NOT shine so bloody brightly?’ It frikking hurts. I woke up with an absolute shocker of a headache yesterday. My bladder is generally the […]

  • What Sarah Ate Next: Pumpkin Soup

    Something new for my readers today – good food that simply put, I love to eat. For me to share it here, it’s got to taste good, look good and be easy to make. There’s something about this cold wintery weather we’ve had lately that makes me want to eat food that warms my soul and gives comfort right down to […]

  • My first time…. at Blogopolis!

    Last Saturday I went to my very first bloggers conference. I’d read with great interest about some of the others held before and promised myself I’d go to the next thing ever held in Sydney. I’m so glad I did. The venue for Nuffnang Blogopolis was the very swanky Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel. After an obscenely early start and long drive down the dogs-breakfast […]

    Crash and burn, baby…

    Okay, I’ll bite. So it’s another week, another celebrity break up. And this week’s contestants are Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes! “Smile, darling! I’ve got a surprise for you!” Surely everyone saw this coming? (Unlike Tom, however. So-called ‘sources’ report that he has been ‘blindsided’ by the news.) The jokes are flying about thick and fast, before […]
