Mrs Cranky Pants…!
Are you a forward thinker or a backward thinker? This post has nothing to do with bottoms. In fact its more about life and how sometimes you think you’re going in one direction, but somehow, for some reason, you end up going in another. This morning I got up on the wrong side of the bed – I have felt out of sorts all day, and I hate feeling like that. Nothing’s wrong – its just that 24 hours – you know the ’24 hours’ that happens from time to time – when you feel a little ‘out of sorts’? All day I have been reminding myself –…

The Tooth fairy is coming! The Tooth fairy is coming!
Today we hit a milestone. Chanel lost her very first tooth today, and I think that she pulled on it before the tooth was ready to come out. She has been a little desperate over the last few days for money…apparently she has a list of things she is saving for and it seems that she is happy to sell her teeth for them. After the tooth ‘came out’ Chanel tried to to convince me that the rate for the tooth has gone up. She thinks that the Tooth fairy has come into some money and the first tooth should get her $20. Let me just say…

Thank God Puberty Blues is almost over!
I am a mum of three daughters…one of them is just over 3 years off being a teenager. So when I heard that Michelle Mitchell, who is the sister of a friend from school, wrote a book called ‘What Teenage Girls Don’t Tell their Parents’, I shuddered at the thought that my baby girl, was going to become secretive and not tell me her most inner thoughts and plans, when she hit the teenage years. And then the show ‘Puberty Blues’ started. The ads were very explicit about the issue of teen girls, lying, sex, and basically being a royal ratbag. I was very quick to find myself changing the…

Review: The Diary of the Wimpy Kid – Dog Days
So I know your all wondering what I thought of this movie? Dion and I decided that we would take the kids to the 6:40pm session at the Caloundra Cinemas tonight as we have an almost 10 year old who has loved the Wimpy kid series and was so looking forward to Dog Days coming out. Its the start of the September school holidays and we usually start the break off with a bit of a bang! Well a movie! How would I review it? Well, lets just say that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the first two movies in the series. Yes there…

I know what your problem is…!
It was so amazing to be asked to go to a group for Mums in Business – especially when your in the process of looking for ‘The Right Direction’. A friend of mine has asked me a few times now if I would go, and although I was planning to go, I wasn’t able to go for one reason or another – till today. Actually its been Jaden who has prevented me from going! Yep I am blaming the boy! This time, I made it a priority to go – obviously I would put my kids first if I had to, but I made a plan of action,…

What is love…?
Thank you Pinterest! I’ve been thinking about how to word this blog post as I am not actually speaking about anyone in particular. So don’t go getting your knickers in a knot, or your noses out of joint! I have just simply been thinking about the idea that ‘Love’ is directly related to the word ‘kindness’ and ‘ACTION!’ How can someone say that they love you…but treat you as though your not necessary! Does this mean that the word ‘Love’ has strings attached to it. Well yes, I believe that Love does have strings! The strings are called relationship. Not necessarily an intimate relationship, but lets say…

What’s going on inside you?
Isn’t it funny, some of the conversations that come up when chatting with your kids? Just the other day, we were just all chatting about life and what we liked and somehow I was able to throw in the comment that inside of me is a very fit, babe-alicious, fashionable, fun yummy mummy – screaming to be let out! Something I am absolutely not feeling at the moment…but there it was on the table. There was silence for a minute – girls deep in thought, when my youngest little girl Chanel (6) says, ‘well inside of me is a very rich and talented fashion designer…..who really wants to…
