My birthday celebrations started off with high tea last weekend with friends. We went to the Boho Bar, a place I’d wanted to go for ages. I wasn’t disappointed. We had a great time in a unique venue - it is an intriguing place. The food was gorgeous and we shared […]

I am so glad the have the opportunity to raise a child of each gender - the concept of nature vs nurture has always fascinated me. I’d like to think that I do treat and will treat Willow and Dexter equally, if not equitably. I have been observing Dexter to see what difference […]

I made those reusable snack bags this afternoon and thought I’d do a bit of a tutorial in case anyone else out there wanted to give them a go.
I went to my favourite fabric shop on Magill Rd, Simply Fabrics. The woman there always remembers me and my children. I found […]

It was one of those weekends that you need a weekend to recover from.
On Thursday night I started packing our bags… Friday afternoon was spent writing an essay at work (I officially finish at one pm but stayed to write until 4pm), then I went home, finished packing our bags and picked Dexter […]

This morning I went to work until 1pm, then skipped my uni lecture to go and see my Nanna and Poppa at hospital. I still had to go to uni for the tutorial, […]

Happy Birthday, my darling. May we celebrate many more together.

I am at home sick today. I have another UTI, which has been indicated by dizzy spells, fever and nausea. Also another symptom that I won’t go into here for reasons of privacy.
I even went to the extent of organising for A to take Dexie to FDC. Part of the reason […]

Today was a work training day, held at the Adelaide Bowling Club. I suppose it wasn’t so much about training, but it was a brainstorming session on funding outcomes. It was great as it helped our fledgling team solidify and clarify what we want our outcomes to be in the next 12-18 months. […]
