Appreciation situation
Last night dinner ran late so I decided to watch a movie with the Mr instead of writing this blog post. I’m glad I did because now it’s about appreciation and taking the time. Rather than whatever other b.s. I was going to pull out of my butt yesterday. Appreciation. Gratitude. Acknowledgement. When it comes…

She taught me how to show up for people
I want to talk to you today about a woman named Anne. A woman who through actions taught me how to show up for people. But first, let’s go back to go forward, shall we? Anne worked for my parents and as kids, we saw her anywhere up to three times a week. She was…

Why I don’t sneak parcels into my house
You know the gift shop signs? Something about paying more for shoes than your husband knows about. Or about leaving the delivery somewhere your husband won’t find it. Cuteeeee, right? Umm no. Not for me. Tee hee, boys are so silly, girls love to shop bullshit. I have a sense of humour, I get it.…

Planning a Wedding? How to NOT go bonkers
Sponsored by bride.com.au When bride.com.au approached me about doing a post for them, I thought maybe they had missed the boat. My wedding was over 8 years ago now, after all. You know, before Pinterest. I’m not really in the market for wedding dresses and bridal type items. But then I was like, hold…

Who do you turn to?
When they talk about the weather not helping a person’s mood, they are probably talking about me lately. I’ve been a storm cloud of grumble and whine. I decided though, that something has to change and I need to cause a shift in my blah type behaviour. Enough is enough lady, I said to myself,…

Husband Relations
When my parents told me marriage is a negotiation of sorts, I thought they meant I had to learn to share as I’d never shared before. They kind of did. But I never imagined they suggested I’d have to learn to speak Husband. That strange language of the coupled gent, the shed dweller. The beard…
