I went to yoga the other night. It was a hot yoga class at a studio where I used to be a regular. I used to go three times a week, seriously, I was in the best shape of my life and I loved the sweaty exertion, the endorphins that kept me buzzing for hours after, the way [...]
Okay so April’s finally here and part of my resolutions have been um, let’s say resolved…
You may remember that as part of New Year’s I resolved not to buy Bunny any clothes until April.
That was tough and in all honesty I failed – and here’s where:
I bought Bunny 2 pair of pants [...]
So it’s been a rough few weeks at our house – we’ve all been slammed pretty hard with the flu / cold combo (I’m starting to forget a time when I could breath through my nose) and we lost one of our two cats.
Sabine was my first ever cat. I have a mother whose extremely allergic [...]
I’m working from home today so I’m in cords and a sweatshirt, all comfortable and cross legged in front of the lap top, and I realize I’m completely, head to toe, socks and all, dressed in GREY. Kinda matches the weather of these last snowstorm(s) and closing days of March.
I’ve been making a lot of stuff [...]
Okay so my husband is away. He’s on an extended (almost 2 week) work trip and I’m mid way through surviving his absence.
It’s funny – no matter how much I think I do everything around the house the reality sinks in when he’s away – he does a fair bunch of stuff too – [...]
We recently got home from our trek to the parents a.k.a. grandparents over the holiday. Somehow even though we brought 2 large IKEA bags full of Christmas presents for friends and family – not to mention another load of assorted baked goods and happily gave it all away we came back jammed to the brim [...]
I was late for work today… again.
It’s not that I slept in or was unprepared or anything like that.
When I got Bunny up this morning I had already showered, packed my work bag, done my hair and made everyone breakfast smoothies. Everything was coming together for a seamless morning routine. There was [...]
It seems there is a baby boom on, not sure if it’s just that time of our lives or what but a lot of my friends are pregnant right now – I’m truly thrilled for them. The thing is; I want to be pregnant too. So I’m also a little sad.
A few weeks ago I went [...]
So at the risk of being one of those ‘smug mummies’ I went all out for Bunny’s big birthday party this weekend and probably forayed into another over the top ridiculous zone of parenting.
Confession: I became a bit of a party mama! For those of you who have been spared the reality TV series here’s a bit [...]
A woman lies dying in a hospital room. Her family stays with her in shifts, never leaving her alone. She should be in the prime of her life yet she is nearing the end.
She comes to intermittent alertness, giving directions for her funeral and menu details, making jokes and lighthearted chit chat. She is on medication for the [...]
