I am not a Gardener. I wish I was but I confess I don’t have a clue. I know from primary school science that plants need sun, water and soil so I wish it was that simple. I am envious of lavish gardens and I do have a magazine subscription for “House and Garden” but…

Does my butt look big in this?
I have officially let a ball drop. Yes, I am talking about the constant juggling of working, parenthood, cooking, cleaning, trying to be a good friend, taking time out for myself, and study. The ball is EXERCISE! I cringe when I hear myself say, “I just don’t have time.” Make time dammit I say….
The Worlds Wimpiest Virus Human metapneumovirus hMPV
“Human metapneumovirus (hMPV)” the doctor said, two days after our late night, four-hour excursion to the emergency department with a feverish and listless 18 month old. “But don’t worry it is the women’s blouses’ of viruses…” Great. Well thanks to the test result poor Moana gave last Sunday night after two weeks of upper respiratory…
Passing Clouds on Meditation Monday
There are so many classes I want to do at the moment. Before kids, I loved filling up my week with learning new things, meeting new people and free to come and go as I please. But since my life has been consumed with babies, partner and work I feel desperate for another outlet. I…
The death of the Fitball Class
I own a lonely green Fitball. I bought my Fitball when I am sure every gym group exercise listed Fitball Class in its timetable. But where has the group class gone? I don’t know when but somehow I miss its drop from the program. Fitball was one of those classes I did join in. The…

After threatening to quit Fitness First due to my lack of attendance (aka – the leaking hole from my budget), the gym offered me three free personal training sessions which I accepted. Consequently I have started back at least once a week back to the treadmills and pool. My gripe is the naked ladies in…

You see if you do not have private healthcare and would like to when planning children you need to have cover for at least 12 months to qualify. Birth is such an unpredictable event my recommendation…
Onwards and upwards taking it in my stride
Its Day one of the annual Summer Holiday and if you want the weather report we can expect a wet Christmas and never ending Summer showers. No, not the good showers after a hot day at the beach only to settle back on the veranda with a beer to watch a Summer storm but the…
Weight loss by Positive Thinking
I met Tawna (@tawna6988) on Twitter and invited her to contribute to my Law of Attraction in Action stories after reading her blog “My Secret Experiment”. After watching “The Secret,” Tawna decided to test the theory with action by blogging her journey with the Law of Attraction. She sent me two stories, one on losing…
I want a Yummy Tummy
I am not pregnant just fat. I cannot hide behind the postnatal response any longer. Yes I was pregnant with twins in 2009 but they are now 10 months old. Those lovely pregnancy hormones are long gone and my jelly belly remains. It is time for action and not just depend on a great set…
