Our fleeting street shot for this week's challenge was captured during the Port Macquarie Ironman this year. Susie O'Neill was riding for the Kids Foundation charity which works to decrease the number of childhood injuries and support those who have suffered an injury. On the day both Susie O'Neill, founder of the Kids Foundation, and … [Read more...]
Things I Learned at Nuffnang Blogopolis 2012
I spent last Saturday at the Blogopolis conference, an oestrogen rich room of bloggers feasting on high tea and information overload. Non-bloggers amongst you, apologies I'll see you tomorrow! Bloggers here's my attempt to capture some of the knowledge transmitted on the day, in some cases just rough notes, others I have expanded upon. Pack a cut … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo – Look At Me.
Weekend Away
You can rest easy people - I know you have been on the edge of your seat worrying did she make it to the weekend away? Yes I did. Although in typical shambolic style nothing was easy. I bought a new outfit late on Thursday night, I returned it for a refund on Friday morning. The family voted unanimously that I couldn't be allowed out of the … [Read more...]
Are you a list maker?
The world appears to be divided into two. Those who make lists and those who don't. At one point in time I was a dedicated list maker - hell sometimes I wrote things on my list I'd already done just so I could have the satisfaction of crossing it off! All through school I was a girl with a list. Neatly written, bulleted (or sometimes prettily … [Read more...]
At What Age?

Introducing solids - got it covered. Crawling - should be happening. Talking - under control. Toilet training - we've got an age span where it should be happening. But … [Read more...]
A Child Free Blogging Weekend – Simple Right?
This weekend I am heading to Sydney to attend the Blogopolis conference. A gathering of bloggers in one room, learning stuff, I'm very excited. However, it has just occurred to me how difficult it is to remove myself from the children. I have complicated the situation by taking my husband with me. I may have slightly mislead him with the idea of … [Read more...]
Monday Morning Photo – Lighthouse View
A new week begins, we'll be a one child family while Hippie Child heads off to Canberra for a school camp. My fingers are freezing as I try to type this morning and Canberra is three times as cold as Port Macquarie - so she's gonna be cold. I hope it's wonderful wherever you are today. … [Read more...]
Reading This Week – Things They Didn’t Tell You About Parenting
A first for the blog this week - a review of an e-book. I'm still trying to come to terms with the concept of reading "books" online. I'm a traditional girl who loves the paper, the print, the page turning but I'm trying to "get with the times" and come around to the convenience and ease of copious amounts of books loaded onto an … [Read more...]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Close
I'm not sure if I'm still allowed to play in the weekly photo challenge as I've moved my blog to a self-hosted site (although still with some connection to wordpress.com via the Jetpack plug in). But for this week at least I'm throwing in my brother's shot of a couple of friendly owls. Just a note for anyone who was following my blog via a … [Read more...]
