Top 10 secrets of the school run
Sometimes I think I’d have reconsidered my position on procreation if I had known then what I know now about school drop off and pick up.

So far, only a few days out from the end of 2017, my “don’t have an affair with Chris Hemsworth” resolution is going great!

Grey Expectations: The Tale of two pubic hairs
Disclaimer: If you’re part of my family or friends or know me in real life in any capacity, see me at school drop off, might run into me randomly at the supermarket somehow, work with my husband or just generally think I look familiar and you may have met me once, you should probably stop reading this post at this point because it contains more information about my nether regions than you probably need know about.

20 lessons from my kids first year of kindy
My twins starting kindergarten was the proverbial light at the end of the [slightly worn] [not quite as tight as it used to be][prone to occasional leakage] stay at home mum tunnel. And despite a shaky start [for me], I’m now that mum tyre squealing away at 9:01, belting out George Michael’s “Freedom” at the top of her lungs.
