How to cope with the unknown when trying to conceive
I received an email a couple of weeks ago from Mandy about how to cope with the unknown. Mandy is not an Amanda, just Mandy. I know because I asked, my sister is an Amanda, I had to check. Anyway, Mandy (hi lady!) was asking how I dealt with the years of not knowing when…

Girls just wanna have fun
Girls just want to have fun. Apparently. That’s what I hear. But when you hit the ripe old’ish age of 33 (this month, yay, can’t wait) is the term girl applicable? This woman? Lady? Old girl? Just wants to have fun. It doesn’t have the same ring to it. Not as catchy, you know? And…

A surprising conversation
If you’ve been around this blog for a while, or know me at all, you’ll know that I’ve been married for a million years in modern terms. 10 years and counting. Haha. But there are always occasions when this husband of mine surprises me. This weekend we had a surprising conversation and it did what…

That time I realised something about my personal style, oh and my boobs.
I put my head down and I ducked into the change room. I called out to Desiree behind me that I was ‘going in’ in the very dramatic way that I knew would make her smile. Arms laden with items including a new bikini top, a maxi dress or two and some skirts that had…

What Mindy Kaling taught me.
I finally got around to finishing Mindy Kaling’s book. I’d opened it and been distracted by other things at least 5 times throughout 2015 and it turns out that a hot summer beach day is just what I needed to knock it over. Front to back. An easy read full of laughs and humour, I’m…

Finding the words
Lately I’ve been dropping into the archives of this blog, visiting the posts from years ago like old friends. Into posts before anyone was really reading, into posts where it felt like everyone was reading. It was like getting acquainted with myself after a break. It’s powerful how a blog, a journal of me, can…

Property Investment and Me, and you too.
In conjunction with homesales.com.au I was born into a real estate, errrr interested, family. My parents had owned farms and investment property before I was born and later would open their own real estate office in my hometown. Houses are in the blood, what can you do? With that being the case, I purchased and…

Welcome to 2016 team.
We made it, well done us. I don’t know about you but I feel a little less wise than I have in previous years. And it’s not just the somewhat misguided choices I made over Christmas/New Year because there were a few. My mother now has grave concerns for me in the theme of alcoholic…

The outfit where I dress up like an extra from 90s TV
Well, like the title says, I feel like this outfit is a little bit dress up. Who from their 90’s childhood doesn’t remember overalls, overall-dresses and all that jazz? I know I do. So this is the outfit where I dress up like an extra from 90s TV. Haha. And you know the best part…

To be happy you have to be investing in yourself
It’s a phrase that has been given a bad wrap, but I will not be swayed, to be happy you HAVE to be investing in yourself. No question. And, it’s something that all too easily gets put aside, pushed to the bottom of the list and disregarded. By women especially. It’s not our fault, they…
