Health was never the problem
Maybe you're wondering why I haven't commented on the Nike mannequin and the resulting shit show on the internet. ARE you wondering that? I know some of you have sent me links and articles or tagged me in your mentions. So why haven't I had my say yet? Why haven't I...
We grew up together (a post about relationships)
You know the story; Kel and I met when we were barely twenty. Engaged six weeks later, broke the news to our families a few months after that. Then married at 22, moved around a lot in the same town, had some businesses but didn't have babies. You know, CliffsNotes...
How to handle your big energy (for good)
When you're happy, that's my favourite thing sings Elmo loudly from the tv screen I'm using to distract my niece. She dances to the song, and I smile that she's settled into her visit. Elmo is right; we love being surrounded by people that lift us up. Happy people are...
Plus-Size didn’t exist at Australian Fashion Week, apparently.

Lately, Kel and I have been ordering a meal delivery service (which we love) but in the interest of saving a little extra money for our upcoming cruise, we cancelled it. This isn't such a big deal except that it's been a long time since I took any joy from preparing...
I’m selfish; are you?
I've been called a lot of things in life. You know the drill, I'm sure. The no one escapes the being called 'things' thing. The words and the descriptions that define you, the ones you take on and stick to you like glue. Some stay to be a trigger for years to come....
The way women talk needs to change
I heard them in a cafe. Then again on the footpath, as I walked to my car and in line to pay for petrol at the service station. Women, talking about other women and bodies, fat and diets. I wonder if I'm more prone to hearing these conversations because it's such a...
Shit, I did it again!
Three weeks without a blog post, team. Almost four, but who's counting. How did I let this happen? AGAIN. And I'm not beating myself up about it. I'm just determined to update you more often on what's going on around here. The Chicken Pesto Pasta Salad was great, but...
