Finding my sense of style. Check!
Are you a fan of the show Offspring? I wasn’t really a fan as such, until recently when I had the flu and was in desperate need of a television fix. There was nothing on at all so I turned to catch-up television online. All I wanted was something to watch to dull the flu symptoms, and so it was at this time that I stumbled across a couple of episodes of Offspring. While I don’t race to watch it when its on, I have since decided that I really like the main character Nina’s quirky personality. I also like her funky sense of style. Between you and me, I…

Holiday Ideas for Winter on the Coast
I wish it was possible to travel back in time. I’d go back to 3.00pm on the 27th June. The last day of school term for semester 1. I’d really like to start the holidays again! While we had fun times over the holidays, the second week was neither relaxing or fun. Especially for poor hubby, who had to have his wisdom teeth out – all four of them needed to be surgically removed, and the recovery time was especially tough. Hubby was a good patient. I am however not a good nurse. I have the utmost respect for nurses and I must say that if it was up…

Parenting. What Parenting?
For years, I have seen the Wicked camper vans on the Sunshine Coast, and I must admit that I have been quite appalled by many a disgusting and crude slogan. They are often racist and incredibly offensive. I have often thought about the idea that ‘somebody’ should do something about them, but life would get busy and then all of a sudden I would see another van and again be reminded of how disgraceful these vans were , but also think to myself how ‘somebody’ should stop this company in their tracks. Last week, a mother who had had enough stood up to be counted. I would love to…

Wholehearted living for Daughters
I am a mum of three daughters, and I want each one of them to grow up into strong authentic women who are not scared of achieving their dreams, or even striving for them. I want them all to live their lives whole heartedly. I want them to know who they are, what they stand for, what their beliefs are, and what their values are. I want them to know that no matter what happens in life – they are enough. There is nothing they can do or say, that will stop them from being ‘enough’. They are worthy of love and affection. They are worthy of a good and happy life.…

Blog trotting – From Mischieviousmum to Blog Tour!
This week, I am blogging for the Karmen Lizzul Blog Tour. When my friend Krishna Everson (Sunshine Coast’s Marketing Extra-ordinaar), contacted me and asked me to join her blog tour, I felt very special, and rather honoured. Krishna has a heart for women in business. Earlier in the year, I signed up for a couple of Krishna’s workshops online (Passionate Marketing, and Get-it Write Empire Builders Mastermind). I learned quite quickly that Krishna has the gift of teaching on her life, and the innate ability to know what her clients need – sometimes, even before they realise what they need. If you would like to read what Krishna is up to at the…

Fashionably Chanel
Let’s meet Chanel. Over the last week or two, I have been talking on facebook about my youngest daughter Chanel. She’s our fashion conscious style guru here at home. She has an eye for detail and a love of all that relates to fashion – clothing, hair, make up – oh and accessories! You should see her looming! Last weekend we went down to Brisbane to celebrate three birthdays, and our Chanel was one of the guests of honour. You can only imagine how excited she was to be ‘a guest of honour’ – and as you can imagine her thoughts were on what she was going…

Simplifying and Enjoying Motherhood
What do you do when you feel like you have lost your pizzazz, or your sparkle? Everything’s fine. Except for one thing – I have been feeling as though my life is too busy, and this ‘busyness’ feeling stops me feeling connected and fully engaged with our kids. I’m not depressed, or blue. I just feel a little overwhelmed with how much there needs to be done on a daily basis to keep our household running smoothly, our children well, homework and school assessments in order, nutritious food on the table, the laundry in control, and all those other things that feel as though they need to have been done yesterday. When I…
