How to keep out of Mischief on the School Holidays!
I am absolutely gobsmacked when I hear mums gripe about school holidays. I heard one mother at school ask why ‘they’ do it to us? As if schools are completely responsible for making holidays a negative or a painful experience for us parents. Are school holidays really that traumatic for some parents? Everything in me wanted to answer this mother’s question of why, but I felt to stop myself. You see, I am a mum on the opposite side of the spectrum. I love school holidays. I love the adventure of planning our days, and working out how we can best spend our time. I want the kids to have…

Living your Best Life – Nobody has it altogether!
Do you think its possible to ever get to a place where you actually have it altogether? I got a laugh out of this You tube video a friend of mine posted to facebook. It depicts a family walking through the doors of their church – Everyone turns to admire this family, because….’they have it all together’. Little do their church family know how their morning went. I encourage you to watch. http://youtu.be/WdtEYNW2t0Q It’s so easy to think that others have their lives sorted. Its easy to believe that ‘others’ have it altogether, and its easy to feel as though we are the only ones who understand what…

Wheat Belly Quick Recap
In my last blog post I told you all about a book called ‘Wheat Belly’, a book about getting rid of wheat in our diets. I am not going retell you the story of wheat belly, or what i have been learning about. I will say though that if you would like to read about the idea behind Wheat Belly, please head over to http://wp.me/p3CidK-3eZ One of my wonderful readers informed me about a facebook page called Cut the crap which is now one of my favourite go-to resource. Facebook also has a Wheat Belly page, which I find incredibly inspiring. I have also learned over the last couple…

Health is NOT over rated!
Hello Beautiful Readers, What a huge couple of weeks I have had. I’m starting to think that a little knowledge is dangerous. It changes your perspective and belief system on so many levels. Now I am sure you are wondering what I am going to chat about today, so I will tell you. As you know, over the last so many months I have been on a health journey. I will admit that I have had a little struggle with it, due to a couple of disappointing moments where I could have literally thrown the scales out the window. While I haven’t been happy with my recent results I have…

Becoming your Authentic Self
This week I have been giving a lot of thought as to what it actually means to be your ‘Authentic’ self. I have been giving a lot of thought to how I personally represent myself, and I found myself thinking about the concept of branding. If I am a business what are the key characteristics that I would want others to think when they heard my name. Who is this Sarah Keetley and what is she all about? According to the Urban dictionary, the word authentic can be defined as being all real and not about the fake stuff, so it got me thinking about what…

The Tooth Fairy ran out of Money
Last week our Tooth Fairy ran out of money. All she had in her pretty little purse was 65 cents and she really did not feel this was enough for our little Chanel. That evening, I had taken the girls and a couple of their friends from school to the local skating rink for cheap Tuesday Skating. Chanel bumped into another learner skater and further loosened her already wobbly top front tooth. While Chanel was not hurt, she was now able to wobble it much more than what she could do previously….and believe me, every time she wobbled it – my tummy turned. I can not look at…

Hidden Treasure in the Old Family Home
Recently, my mum and her husband sold their home in Brisbane. They have enjoyed living at their onsite van in a nearby caravan park for the last so many years, but a number of months ago, mum found the villa of her dreams in Currimundi, so they decided it was time to sell their home in Brisbane. Over the last so many months, the house has had a mini facelift. The walls have been painted, the bathroom has been retiled and modernized, carpets have been placed in the bedrooms, and the gardens have been freshened up. It looks pretty good. Then, before we knew it – the parents…
