Monday…what a fun day. I leaped on the scale and discovered, to my surprise, that I had lost two pounds. Colour me surprised! As I mentioned last week, I knew that my healthy eating efforts were due to be derailed on Saturday due to date night. But what a glorious derailing it was. The beauty [...]
high five

Monday is weigh in day. In hindsight, I perhaps should have chosen an alternate day. Like Garfield, I REALLY hate Mondays. No sleeping in, something ALWAYS goes wrong…generally involving poop…and I never have a good hair day. However this Monday, I stepped on the scale and I noted that the number had shrunk by five [...]

When the new year dawns, I always get newly inspired. New beginnings, new start, new year. One of my goals (I shy away from the term resolution because I swear resolutions never work…so we’ll stick with goal) is to be fab by forty. I turn 4-0 next July, so I’m giving myself a whole year and a [...]

This April I went to Disneyland on a girls only (my mum, me and my girls – four and six) trip and I came back with so many tips, ideas and recommendations for making the trip easier so I thought I’d share. However you feel about Disneyland, I defy you not to have fun once [...]

As part of our blogging mandate to blog about growing our families and our business I wanted to share about a recent business dilemma – okay very small dilemma but still – I recently faced.

my (long) road to loving lunapanties
Filed Under eco friendly, live and learn, things | February 3, 2010
So this has to be a blog post rather than an article as there’s simply too much backstory here to fit into 300 (ish) words and anyhow I suspect that I might need more than 300 words to convince you to join me in my newest love affair. So when I first heard about Lunapads, [...]
