live a life more random
Hey Bear, Yesterday was your birthday and you are now a two year old. A year ago you were cruising around, yet to let go of the furniture and walk solo. You were a bit timid about crawling and walking, but you’ve gotten over that and run headlong at whatever life throws your way. You have […]
Whether your jam is Oz Comic Con, Nexus or Supanova, convention season is definitely upon us here in the land of Oz. Conventions can be hard to navigate at the best of times, and doubly so when you are toting a toddler with you. Here is my essential Convention Survival Guide for anyone bringing the […]
The act of someone cooking a meal for me has always felt like an act of love. The idea of someone going to effort to nourish others seems like the purest expression of love there is. Which brings me to lasagna. I’ve had many lasagnas over the years. My mum makes a pretty good one, […]
Sadly I had to skip last week’s final confession, as Ive been taking a blogging break while I recovered from surgery, but I’m very happy to join Denyse for the first outing of Life This Week. While I’m excited to be embarking on this new link up with the rest of the I Must Confess […]

Writing this post was sort of difficult. We all believe in things that we don’t want to share with others because we’re scared it might be deemed ridiculous. I couldn’t quite get to 10 without sounding more than a little cray-cray, but I did manage to find 5 things I believe in that shouldn’t make you […]
Oh man have I been looking forward to this movie. From the first trailer, I was hooked by the premise, and add in Kristen Bell (who is totally my spirit animal) and I could not freakin wait. My mother’s group and I organised a rare night out to hang out with the Bad Moms. […]
We’ve touched on my habit of procrastination before, and as part of my effort to get past it, I’ve spent a lot of time working on my nightly routine. Building an effective nightly routine is key to a good nights sleep and a less stressful morning. It also sounds way more difficult than it actually is. […]
I had a very different post planned this week, but I just couldn’t get inspired about anything. Every blogger has those weeks where the block is intense, and you lose your blogging mojo. I’ve started blogging before and I always give up when I get blocked. It happened again. All of a sudden I couldn’t […]
