Today has been the laziest day I’ve had in a long while. I haven’t left the house and it’s been great. I had a couple of visitors, close people so no need to entertain, they were happy to hang out with me in my pj’s and sympathise about sore mouth. It was good and decadent. […]

My son has inherited one of my behaviours and it’s worked out quite good. Last night we had a little spat. It was due to lack of communication as we have both been a little in and out lately and haven’t caught up with each other enough. He’s doing his mid-year VCE exams and I’m […]

I can’t believe my son is 18. I lay in bed last night wondering where all the years had gone and what time he was going to get home! He went out for drinks with his friends after celebrating with the family. I decided that even though he is an adult, I could still send […]

18 years ago today Tom arrived in the world weighing more than I was led to believe a second child would! I adore him. The years have truly flown! He is a wonderful young man. He’s considerate, thoughtful, hilarious and the most supportive son a mother could wish for. (80% of the time)
My daughter has […]

On Sunday I am going to announce a secret, exciting, project I’ve been working on. It is the realisation of a goal that I had once upon a time, but let go. It was something I thought would never happen. All that stuff about visualising and letting go - seems it’s true! I want to […]

Thanks so much to my wonderful Auntie Jude for the gift of this gorgeous patchwork work of art! I  appreciate the work that goes into patchwork. When I was a Neighbourhood House Co-ordinator we had a patchwork class and the ladies in the class worked on some wonderful gifts for their loved ones. A lot of effort and love […]
