Feeling an evening of very Uncouth Wine Clinking™ ahead or at the very least some sort of coconut based soupy foodstuffs that I Did Not Cook. It’s not been the easiest of days, friends. As many of you know I lost my mum one year ago today and, well, in terms of shitefest crapped up anniversaries nobody ever asked for, that takes the cake for me. Which is precisely what I ate a lot of today. Cake. Hot cinnamon donuts [absolute top of the deep fried food hierarchy and if you disagree, fight me]. Aldi chocolate. Choc caramel slice. I mean, I’m basically sudden onset type two diabetic at this point. But if you can’t put yourself into a near sugar coma at times like this, when can you? I also had to survive playing mini golf with my children so it was either that or some form of sedative 🤷‍♀️

Well this picture adequately sums up our lives like no other. Particularly my 18,746 layers juxtaposed with my daughter’s shorts 🤣. . . . . #adelaide #radelaide #mumblog #mummyblog #mumblogger #lifeofamum #wifelife #adelaidemum #mumsofadelaide #mumlife #mother #parent #momlife #mumofthree #samum #family #parenting #adelaideparents #kidsinadelaide #kids #adelaidewriter #adelaidefreelancer #mummyblogger #beachesofadelaide #beach #portnorlunga #adelaidebeaches #beachdays #ocean #beachvibes

TGIF!!! Which, of course, means nothing when you’re a parent, wife of a shift worker [as opposed to ‘shit worker’ as my autocorrect tried to make me write] & a freelancer, but you know. 🤷‍♀️ ⁣ After the most EPIC exercise session [cycling up and down a mountain multiple times in every element Mother Nature could throw at me] yesterday [as you would have seen in my stories, because I’m multi talented and can story and ride and also freeze to death simultaneously🤣] I ended up eating all the food last night [🍕 and 🍦 and ginger ale.. does anyone else like ginger ale? Or is that just me & like all the over 70s at the bowls club], so who’s the real winner here? Me. ⁣ ⁣ So if you’ve been following along my crazy journey this past year, you’ll know that this week is going to be particularly difficult for me with the anniversary of the passing of my mum, who I adored. I’m determined not to be a complete mess [altho tell that to my husband when I was weeping in the car yesterday to that new Guy Sebastian song], but I may get a little bit MOODY. My good friend @sayhellojo who I have only met once but I felt kindredly connected to, told me I should find a word for the new year. Something that resonates with me and sparks a fire for me. A few came to mind.. like FUCKTHISSHIT and THISISBULLSHIT 🤣 but when I really thought about it there was a word that was sitting in my belly like last night’s pizza, and that word is FREEDOM. ⁣ ⁣ That’s what I want for this year. Freedom to be me. Freedom to not only be who I am but to celebrate it! Freedom to laugh and love and feel happiness. Freedom from worrying what people think of me. Freedom to believe in myself and know that I CAN do it [whether that be ride up a mountain or eat an entire block of chocolate in one sitting]. Freedom to wear my hair up, exposing my giant forehead without hiding it behind a sweeping side fringe. Freedom to look back and laugh, freedom to look back and cry. ⁣ ⁣ So, here’s a pic of my son. Wearing track pants and sneakers in public 🤣 cos that’s FREEDOM, yo! ⁣ ⁣ If you had to pick a word for the year ahead, what would it be?? Pls don’t pick a better one than I did cos that’s gonna be awkward 🤣⁣ ⁣ ⁣

So when my [beloved] husband had us all drive for an hour [!!] to Reynella, to purchase what he ended up discovering [after the fact] were KNOCK OFF Oakley’s from some dude named Chad, I was none too pleased about the matter. When we came across some colour [feat. airconditioners] I softened somewhat. Glasses half full right? 😉🤔 #thankschad #weknowwhereyoulive . . . . . #adelaide #radelaide #mumblog #mummyblog #mumblogger #lifeofamum #wifelife #adelaidemum #mumsofadelaide #mumlife #mother #parent #momlife #mumofthree #samum #family #parenting #adelaideparents #kidsinadelaide #kids #adelaidewriter #adelaidefreelancer #mummyblogger #citywalls #wallsofadelaide #portnorlunga #wallcharades

Mom is just wow turned upside down. Which would be great if I was American, but instead it’s wuw and that doesn’t really have the same ring to it does it? 🤔🤔🤔. . . . . . . . #adelaide #radelaide #mumblog #mummyblog #mumblogger #lifeofamum #wifelife #adelaidemum #mumsofadelaide #mumlife #mother #parent #momlife #mumofthree #samum #family #parenting #adelaideparents #kidsinadelaide #kids #adelaidewriter #adelaidefreelancer #mummyblogger #adelaidekids #kidlife #lifeofamum #lifeofakid #schoolholidays

Here’s the thing. I have no fucking idea what I’m doing. In life. As a mum. As a friend. As a user of liquid eyeliner. Honestly, I’m not even winging it (especially the eyeliner bit). I. Have. No. Fucking. Idea. Not that I ever pretend to, but on occasion people do suggest to me that I seem to have have it so “together”, so to speak. But the truth is, I don’t. The truth is far less pretty and technicolor. . . . . . . . #adelaide #radelaide #mumblog #mummyblog #mumblogger #lifeofamum #wifelife #adelaidemum #mumsofadelaide #mumlife #mother #parent #momlife #mumofthree #samum #family #parenting #adelaideparents #kidsinadelaide #kids #adelaidewriter #adelaidefreelancer #mummyblogger #adelaidekids #unleylife #lifeofamum #technicolour #rainbow #schoolholidays
