At Odds With the World. Self Gifting.
It just seems as if the last few weeks have been more harrowing than usual for the world as a whole. There’s just been devastation and loss everywhere in the headlines. Whether it is what humans have done to each other or what nature has done to humans, there have been many times that we’ve…

Photo Day. Hair and Make Up. The News.
As I got Toddler SSG ready for daycare today, I couldn’t help but feel that my inner Dance Mom had been awoken. www.dancemoms.wikia.com Today was daycare photo day, Toddler SSG’s first in fact. And I’ve been totally Dance Mom about it. There was the hair cut a couple of weeks ago (to give it time to ‘grow…

Hail. The Big Chill. Costco Finds.
These are glamorous times in Sydney. Glamorous. If it wasn’t ugg boots and trackies it was head to toe adventure wear, hastily pulled out of storage (complete with last year’s lint) as everyone struggled to adjust to the sudden cold change this morning. Everyone who bravely made it to the pool this morning rewarded themselves…

A Grey Monday After A Golden Weekend.
I always knew the golden sunrises of autumn weren’t going to last forever but I wasn’t prepared for them disappearing by the end of the weekend. It was only on Saturday morning that I was greeted by this beautiful rose gold sky as I made my way to breakfast up the road with Toddler SSG.…

Made It To Friday. Carpool Karaoke.
Friday morning are always a bit special at our place. It’s the last working day of the week, the last daycare drop off of the week and together they give the morning a ‘we’ve practically made it to the weekend’ kind of vibe. All of which allows me to press pause on the morning for…
