So, it’s been a little bit quiet on here lately. Well truth is there’s been a LOT of quiet. Why? Because life is busy. It can challenge the crap out of you, and sometimes the last thing you wanna do is write a blog post. Don’t worry I’m OK, and I haven’t lost my love…
A WHOLE LOTTA LOVE
So it’s been a bit of a while between blog posts, which means I must have been busy! Well that’s always the case, but you know what, I’ve just been making more time for ME. Instead of being chained to my laptop every night writing, editing, scheduling, I’ve been smashing out shows on Netflix and…
THREE GOOD THINGS THAT HAPPENED TODAY

I’m sure you’ll agree that it seems like the world is going to pot, (umm… Trump!), so when I read this article, ‘Write down three good things that…
MOTHERHOOD & CREATIVITY
Before I had Ava, I used to read ALL the time. I’d devour crime fiction like cocktails on a hot summer’s day, and Mum and I would regularly swap our latest finds. Since having Ava, reading has not been on my radar like it used to be. I’ve read plenty of informative parenting books, but…

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER
Leading up to Mother’s Day, I’ve been thinking a lot about the mother and daughter dynamic. Mostly because right now, every day life with Ava is very up and down. In the same week, we can go from having a really great day, to a hellish couple of days, with absolutely no warning signs. Starting…
HOW DID LIFE GET SO BUSY?
So is it just me, or do you always feel like you’re rushing around? I’m constantly shuffling dates in my calendar, to fit in kids parties, family catch ups, play dates, drinks, dinners, workshops, medical appointments, and whatever else comes up. And believe it or not, I’m a bit old school and still use a…
THE ONLY WAY IS UP… I HOPE!
It’s been a bit up and down for me lately. Nothing too stressful, but I can’t seem to find any kind of balance between feeling pretty good and feeling a bit flat. I can have a really great few days, and then in the flick of a switch, it all heads downhill. Not in a…
THE WORD ON THE STREET: WITH ME!
It’s been a seriously busy few weeks, with Ava starting school, and lots of stuff happening with the blog. I’ve been interviewing inspiring folks, working on cool collabs, shooting heaps, running giveaways, and it’s been a lot of fun. I’ve barely even watched Netflix which means I MUST be busy. I’ve been asking other folks…
