Making time for Mummy!
This past weekend, was probably the best weekend I have had in a long time. Sorry, Family! And…when I tell you what I got up too…..lets say you might be a little envious! Sorry, Readers!!!! I have been married for 11 years. It will be 12 in December, and since getting married – hubby and I have had four children. Three girls and one little boy! I have been a ‘Stay at Home Mum’ for a very long time now, and while I feel that it has been a privilege, I also see that I now need to follow my heart, and do something that will help us financially,…

The Rubber meets the Road…Its time to get serious for 2013!
December 2012 is coming to a close. In five more sleeps it will be new years eve, and then it will be the 1st of January 2013. The first of January is symbolic. It is the day that most people start thinking about what they want for their lives, and what they want to change. They start to put a goal list together. Most of us make ‘good intention’ promises to ourselves – the plan is to do better and be better. We have good intentions, but new plans or new convictions for our lives can not stand up too good intentions. Unfortunately good…

November – the month of getting organised!
Over the last couple of weeks I have been doing a lot of thinking. I have been trying to work out the direction I want to take in 2013. I am trying to make a few decisions for my life. Does anyone else find that they start thinking about the direction for their lives in November, or is just me? I wonder if its because I see tables of fresh new diaries for the next year popping up on tables in shopping centres, so one feels a little pressure to do something with one’s life? There is something surreal about the month of November for me.…

Save money where you can!
So its Monday again. I had wanted to write a post over the weekend…I had many a thing I wanted to share but due to some unforeseen happenings, one did not get time and then when I did have a moment I just could not string two sentences together, so most of the things I thought were great topics for discussion in my blog, have flown out the window. Just shows you how important writing them down is….I wander if I still have baby brain, not sure about that considering Jaden is almost 23 months old. At what point do you cross over the line from baby brain…

Spring and the heat of renovating!
Its only been 1 month and 10 days since Spring started and I am not coping well with the heat. Its not even Summer yet. Summer starts on the 1 December and I am wondering if I have a thermostat issue. Is it just me…or is everyone feeling overheated? Are my hormones going crazy or have I just forgotten how hot a true Summer can be here in Queensland. I miss our old house in Chancellor Park. It was a lovely 3 bedroom home, with a pool. Looking back – it was very nice. Not enough room for 6 people – 4 of which are growing and need…

Forget and do not look at yesterdays post! ….Move forward to good things and Beanie Parties
Today I woke up feeling good. What a relief! Just don’t go back to yesterday’s post when I was having a grumble about feeling out of sorts, and lets face it – I was Mrs Cranky Pants yesterday – so I don’t want you going backwards – GO Forwards! As I woke this morning from a lovely dream about our little family winning a prize home on the Gold Coast, I decided that today – I was going to be kind to myself and give myself permission to enjoy my day! Afterall, yesterday I had an ‘internal melt down’ which was a bit nasty. Yesterday was supposed to be…

The mummy List!
Tonight for some reason I have about 10 things on my mind and I am having an issue with what I should be writing about, but I do know that I want to write about something…..so here it is – the list of whats on my mind. So here I am trying to live with purpose and not live reactively and I find myself with a huge list of things I need to do. Some of them important, some of them not so important – but none the less needing to be done. 1. Amy is going to camp next week and she is nervous about going to camp.…

Parenting can be hard…
When I first saw this image I have to say that I just loved the phrase. Something about it struck a chord with me and everytime I see it, I love it more. I am sure you are wondering why, so I will tell you. I love the simplicity of it….it says it all for me. I’ll explain. I am a mum of four kids. It takes a lot of effort and a whole lot of energy to keep these 4 kids motivated and focused on what they are supposed to do. I have learnt that unless pushed and sometimes shoved, all children are basically lazy. They…
