Body Respect & Love
Body image and respect for your body doesn’t appear to come easily to humans. Large or small. Tall or short. I’m not sure I have met a person who could say to me that they have treated their body with the reverence and care it deserves for every day of their lives. There’s a pretty…

Things you CAN say to someone who is TTC.
I wrote this post the other day about the weird things people say when you’re childless and almost 30 or WORSE, they find out you are trying to conceive. Chantelle said, please, tell me what I can say, that would be helpful. Or something along those lines. I’m paraphrasing obviously. Chantelle said it all elegantly…

The Shed Project
The Suger household was expecting a new arrival in March this year. The arrival of my baby girl Blue. This impending arrival required one simple thing of Hubby, to clean out the garage. The rakes and shovels that lined the walls, karate chopping anyone who dared to tread too close. A karate chop to the…

When I was a child
I loved the beach first, the bush second. I wanted to be Prime Minister or an interior decorator. I lived on a 400 acre pineapple farm. I wanted a baby sister. And got one. I never once worried about my parents splitting up. I dreamt about Californian beaches and being buried alive. I told stories.…

Win a Virtu $100 Voucher – Your Style
Around here we talk about style a fair bit. Especially on Fridays. Plus size, regular size, or goodness knows they keep shuffling you between sizes and you’re losing your mind. Fashion, clothing and developing your own personal style. I think it takes something to work out a style for yourself. I see teenagers with a…

The princess and the…. sock?
The other night, late as usual, I crawled into bed next to my husband. The room was dark and his rhythmic breathing filled the silence of the room. Getting cosy down under the covers, I sighed. Fresh sheets, mmmmm, my favourite. Stretching out, settling in. Then I felt it. Towards the bottom corner of my side…

Colours of Autumn
You can’t have missed it. Even in Queensland the weather is slowing shifty towards the cooler months of the year. I took my boots from their garage storage location a week ago. Dusted them off. I’m ready, I thought. Winter, here I come. But I wasn’t ready, exactly. I need some basic items to get…

We will never forget.
Maybe because it’s personal in a way it never was for us now. Maybe because with every year that goes by I long for peace in a way I never knew I could long for anything. Maybe because there is a boy {despite the man he was becoming, he was still SO young} who will never be with…

ASS out of U and ME
I was reading that post above on the Seven Cherubs facebook wall about the old ‘What, don’t you have a TV’ comment that people toss around for those with large families {though some ladies with two children had been asked the same thing. What? That doesn’t even make sense}. It got me thinking of all…

Another Day
Some mornings you wake up, and you might as well have stayed in bed. You might as well have tripped out of bed, face planted into the nearby duchess type table and knocked yourself out cold for the day. Yup. Like that. What happened was I was all set to go to the gym with…
