I’m going to put something out there that might make me seem a bit of a goodie-two-shoes. Which I’m not, not really. So here it is: Rules are NOT always made to be broken. And for good reason. Rules are part of everybody’s life, whether we realise it or not. They form the framework from within which we operate in our society, […]
I spend far more time than I care to think about doing laundry. Every day will see me washing at least TWO loads full of clothes. It’s one of life’s constants. We’re a house of five so there’s always something to wash. Especially when you have kids and their idea of cleaning is picking everything up off the floor […]
If you have a child between the ages of 3 – 13, then you’ll know where these outlandish looking creatures are from. Skylanders is a video game that was released late last year and has since gone gangbusters in the popularity stakes all over the world. The family-friendly game gets you to explore different lands, collect treasures and […]
My health has been less than fantastic over the last two days (and it was a huge weekend – my birthday on the Friday, another wedding on Saturday AND my wedding anniversary on Sunday… seriously, the timing of this really sucks) and apart from knowing that I felt like crap, the state of my house was a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Hi, I’m Sarah!
Former wild-child of the 80’s, classic rock fan and loyal friend to a particularly awesome group of people. Forever planning to write more. Fervently wishes she lived at the beach. Loves the mighty All Blacks. Rather partial to a cheeky glass of red.
