Its International Day of Happiness!!!
Are you happy? Today is all about being happy – Its the official International Day of Happiness. I personally believe that happiness is a choice. If we allow our circumstances to dictate whether or not we are happy, there are going to be ‘some’ who will live their whole life as a sad sack of potatoes. I personally have an issue with that mindset! Obviously there are times in our lives where circumstances do weigh into how we feel. A passing of a family member or a friend, or a loved one leaves and lives in another country, a business deal going sour, maybe our dreams haven’t come…

How to Bring out your Inner Goddess!
As a Stay at Home Mum of four children, I decided a few months ago that I needed to go on a journey to find ‘Sarah’ again. The young youthful Sarah, I remember was a very different person to who I am now. I remember her to be a lot more fun and spontaneous than she is now. She used to spontaneously go and have hot chocolates (I am not a coffee or tea drinker) and play pool at the Twin Waters Resort with friends on a Friday or Saturday evening. The young Sarah tried to learn how to surf (failed miserably – but it was fun trying)…

Parenting war with Fancy dancey stationery shops
I have three girls who love a particular colourful stationery shop that has seemed to pop up into every large shopping centre over the last few years. This store is are everywhere! The girls love to go and explore the fresh notebooks, pencils, pens, erasers, sharpeners, calculators, and other merchandise in each varying colour. This store is very appealing to the young eye, and I have been told by one of my dear impressionable children that if you don’t buy your school supplies at this particular store – then your basically worthless! As you can imagine, this no frills mummy, was not impressed by this untrue statement. I…

Mummy friendships – what not to do!
Much of life is about the people we come into contact on a regular basis. Some are friends and some you consider aquaintances so I decided to work out a list of characteristics or traits to have in friendship – specifically friendship with other mums. I have known a particular woman for many years. This person seems to follow me through life, and while she has made her mark on my life in a negative way I am not writing this to get revenge. Instead, I would like to write about my experience with this woman in the light of not wanting to be a friend like this. Let…

The week that came and went….
Well this week has been a great week, and a very busy week. The week started with birthdays,Wet’n Wild, a student free day, the normal school week, organising a family barbeque for tomorrow for 15 people, and secretly interviewing child care centres. Jaden needs some structure and playtime with other little boys, and I need a little space, and the ability to do a grocery shop without Jaden throwing items out of the trolley. He really is a grocery store nightmare. You may laugh, but I spend more time in the shopping centre trying to grab things that he has either thrown out or is about to throw…

Spring and the heat of renovating!
Its only been 1 month and 10 days since Spring started and I am not coping well with the heat. Its not even Summer yet. Summer starts on the 1 December and I am wondering if I have a thermostat issue. Is it just me…or is everyone feeling overheated? Are my hormones going crazy or have I just forgotten how hot a true Summer can be here in Queensland. I miss our old house in Chancellor Park. It was a lovely 3 bedroom home, with a pool. Looking back – it was very nice. Not enough room for 6 people – 4 of which are growing and need…
