Define your Mountain – is it a Physical or Metaphoric Mountain?
To reach any mountain top, one must climb. This post is not about a literal mountain climb, we all know that a physical mountain is of course possible to climb, and the reward for any mountain climb is the magnificent view from the top. The view from the top is breathtaking and spectacular. A person who achieves their mountain top can feel overwhelmed, excited to have achieved their goal, and may feel both encouraged and motivated to achieve other life goals along their journey. Thousands of people climb physical mountains, but we all climb metaphoric mountains in one way or another. There is a similarity between a metaphoric journey and…

How to Have a Merry Christmas – Keep it Simple!!!
Its been weeks since I have written! Not because I haven’t wanted to write, I have just had a lot on my plate. Our lives have been rather hectic and chaotic over the last few weeks, actually the last couple of months, I literally haven’t had a chance to write – although I must say that I have been giving ‘the next blog post’ some thought. The next blog post is always on my mind! 🙂 The school year literally screeched to a halt on the 5th December, and I must admit that I had been feeling as though we were on an emotional roller coaster right…

These days, most people know exactly who the Kardashian family is! For those who don’t know, the Kardashian’s are a large, very confident and very self assured family who live in America – who happen to have their own reality show called none other than ‘Keeping up with the Kardashians!’ This blog post really isn’t about the Kardashians as such – it is more about finding your inner confidence. The Kardashian’s are very comfortable with who they are, and what they are all about.

Every Mum needs an Alice
Did you know that being a mum is hard work? I’m not just talking about the physical aspects of becoming a mother, or the daily routines you have to succumb too to maintain sanity. I am talking about the every day emotional and psychological aspects of being the mother you want for your kids – Its hard work!!! Mrs Carol Brady (The Brady Bunch) had the best gift ever! She had an Alice. Alice is every mother’s dream – Alice took care of the Brady family, and gave the gift of time back to Mrs Brady. She made their meals, their lunches for school, she did all aspects…

My Top 10 Hints for Simple Living
I recently ‘liked’ a page on facebook called ‘Old Sunshine Coast’ and I have felt very priviledged to have a birds eye view back to the past. I moved to the Sunshine Coast at a time in my life where I was single and completely and utterly responsible for myself. Some might consider those days ‘The good old days’, and I have to admit that I have moments where I miss that girl – but I am quickly reminded of how blessed I am to have the husband I have and the children I have. When I look at those old photos of the coast, I can’t help but think…

Get Inspired!
Amy, our 11 year old daughter came home excited on Friday from school. She wanted to show me a video of this ‘funny little kid who dresses like the President!’. Amy was introduced to ‘Kid President’ at school, so we sat down at the computer together’, and before I knew it – I had four children crowding the computer. Kid President is infectious! The Kid President puts a smile on your face straight away. He has an infectious smile and a hilarious little laugh, and you can just see he has a fun personality. The Kid President’s mission: Is to give you a pep talk! and to help…

Urgency in the heart, or is it just the pending Midlife Crisis?!
Its Monday. The First day of the second week of term 4 (2013). After today, our school year has 7 weeks and 4 days left for the year – not that I am counting! This week is also ‘week 43’ of the calendar year, and this means that we have 9 weeks and 5 days till the end of 2013. Before we know it, Christmas and January 2014 will be upon us. Isn’t this a sobering thought? Time is flying past far too quickly for my liking. I woke today feeling a sense of urgency in my spirit. I’m still trying to work out exactly what the…

Back to School after a fun filled September Holidays
I can’t believe two weeks has passed since I blogged last! Its true – time does go faster when you’re having fun!! Life in our house over the school holiday period was very fast and very fun, and because holidays are all about quality time with the kids, I really wanted to be present – in mind and spirit with them. So, knowing how easy it is for me to go into ‘the Mischievious Mum’ world of blogging, I decided to put blogging on the back burner for the school holidays. It was time to have fun with the kids! We looked at my last blog post ‘How to…
