The Invisible Pedestal
I am going to call it and I don't give a monkey's what others think on the matter. The supermarket is the single most soul destroying place a parent can be with their children. For...
Staying Off Death Row … The life of small plant in my home.

The Things We Have Learnt About Infant Reflux 12 months on…
A good friend referred to me as an expert on infant reflux this week and this certainly isn't me... and coming from a professional perspective this certainly isn't the case ... But I am the...

What I am Doing Right Now
A follower on Instagram tagged me in a 'what I am doing now' post... This is it... It's cold inside ... It's warm outside in the sun out of the wind. The housework is always there waiting ... These two are only going to be young for a short time. I always feel like crap at the end of the day when I haven't achieved 'enough'... I always feel better when I achieve only a little and then escape, letting the kids be kids. Moral...
The Day You Work Out Your Kid Can Text
The first hint that your 9 year old has figured out texting is an SMS from your Bestie saying IMMATURE. Imagine... The morning has been chaos and in the minutes before the school run you decide to have a shower. The 9 and 7 year old promise to watch the 1 year old, while you run about under some fresh water. Seemingly seconds later...you are grabbing your wallet, phone and keys, while screaming outBAGS AND SHOES GIRLS! Then your phone beeps. Too busy to check...
No Longer So Attached
Today was D Day for the D Man. First day of day care and clearly he hated it. (pic above taken after I picked him up) Very emotional was how his day was described by the group leader. The photos of him and the other children told me the whole story .. He was miserable. He barely ate, he barely slept and demanded to be carried all day. So ... We are on again for tomorrow. Pretty sure the Group Leader will be having a...
The reason why you don’t share pillows with 7yr olds…
Nits... That is the reason why you don't share a pillow with 7 year olds. Picture this... it's a cold rainy night...the Besties are over for a sleepover....we have made a massive mattress bed in...
4 teeth in 5 days …
Lil D had not a tooth in his head until last Saturday. I was convinced we were going to have to visit the dentist for some falsies as it seemed there was no teeth in sight. So after a very sooky,clingy day, one tooth arrived Saturday night... Then another Sunday morning ... Then another Monday... And now today one more. So he now has four top teeth which he has quickly worked out a very manipulative cheeky grin... The downside is nothing in this house...
The PM School Run Has Become NO FUN
Something really really bad has happened lately and it is seriously screwing up mine and my Bestie Mrs W's afternoon. This is what greets us when we find our cosy car park to wait for our kids in the afternoon.... Gone are the days of 20-30 mins of wild and passionate Internet usage where we sit in our cars Facial Booking and Instagramming to our hearts content with no interruption whilst our youngests' squeeze in a wee nap in the car. Seems lately Telstra 3G...
Big Fat Reality Check
Big Fat Reality Check... Had a Climate Smart Person over to do an electrical efficiency check on our house this am. He was late...my house was a mess and as I let him in I was apologizing saying we only got home from Brisbane last night. He kept saying...no worries at all look at your children they look so happy ...that's all that matters. I explained we had been ravaged with reflux with two of the kids and our house that we bought to renovate...
So my day ain’t going to plan …
I do wonder why I ever plan to do anything somedays... Today has completly gone to CRAP. I will save you the details just know it has been one of THOSE mornings Mummys. So while I sit here having a cuppa...calming my nerves ... I have just landed on the Jacobs Creek Wines delightful website. This is what I am thinking I will source for this evenings beverage. I may or may not share it with Mr MMM. Depends on if he is so dear...
Hi! My Name is Barney…Barnstars to friends.
Hi! My name is Barney and I have been brought in to even up the Boys team at MMM. I arrived yesterday well under the salary cap but hey they looked like a nice family and I was thinking I might get the odd spot of travel to the beach with them. Initially I was welcomed very nicely by the other resident pooch, Angel (on the girls team). However, the madam we shall call Catty was an absolute bitch. She licked her lips at me...

New Trend In School Run Fashions
A few days ago I admitted on the MMM Facebook page to strutting my stuff down town with my t-shirt inside out completely unaware. What eventuated was a variety of comments admitting to similar faux pas. Thank you ladies..I feel quiet relieved to know that somewhere in this world everyday other Mummy's are doing this shite. So ...after a horrendous start to Thursday (I hate Thursdays and Thursdays hate me), I decided I was going to do the rest of the Mum's on the school...
Build A Fort, Share Some Sunshine…Lot of Laughs
A few months ago we purchased a play gym online from Big W and have been debating where exactly it should go in our large backyard. Debate has concluded ...construction has begun...and it become a crazy family event non the less. Below is our day...as you can see Lil D is going to be a civil engineer. The kids become crazier as the sun began to fall in the sky and the play gym still wasn't complete. It was more than putting together the play...
SAHM Status almost complete…
As I sit here writing this post about how I have 7 weeks left at home as a full time stay at home Mummy, I hear the retrieval helicopters flying over our house about to retrieve a patient from our local hospital. My workplace. My older girls have pretty much grown up in that place. I worked full time as a single Mum for 5 years. The two things I can honestly say I was 100% dedicated to was my kids and my job. I...

An afternoon on our green..
When he grows up I know he won't remember yesterday afternoon when we rolled around on the grass, kicked the ball and played peek a boo ....but I will. Precious moments filled with lots of gut laughs...xox
The Little Words That Make You Feel Awesome
With Miss M's 7th birthday fast approaching preparations are in full swing (in my mind) for the Rainbow Party. My plan this year is to spend the least but have a really fun party..cause this little girl has had a tough year. She has Childhood Reflux and that is no fun at all. Next month she has an operation called a fundoplication to hopefully improve her condition. So I have been investigating free printables online. Man I love being a Mummy in this century. Type...
The Hardest Part of Parenting My Girls..
This is the post I have wanted to write for a long time...because I know there are so many parents out there in the same position...but it's hard to get the right words...the words that aren't too emotional..the words that arent too angry..the words that when my daughters grow up they will read and be proud of how hard I tried for them. I am talking about shared parenting. My Girls, Miss I (9) and Miss (6) share their lives between our home and their...
