Birthday Fun on Noosa River
Now the kids, particularly the girls, are older and have jobs, it’s not so easy to get everyone together in one place to have a family day, so when we can make a day of it, any excuse is a good excuse to get us all together. It was hubby’s birthday on Sunday, so we decided to make a day of it up at Noosa. Noosa is special place on the Sunshine Coast, we are lucky to be able to go up for the day, enjoy the beauty of Noosa and then come home absolutely happy and fulfilled. I love the idea of staying up there too, but for all…

It’s Christmas Holidays and there’s no money for Fun….What to do??
The Christmas holidays are here. I love this time of the year. In fact, I consider it the best time of the year. It’s Summer, the days are longer, the kids are on holidays, and Christmas is just around the corner. It’s a great time of the year. The tree is up and the lights are bringing joy to our lounge room. I’m one of those mums who love school holidays with her kids and want the holidays to linger for as long as possible. This term has been enormous for us with an unexpected graduation dinner for our Beps, and then the year 12 formal and all the trimmings…

19 for 2019
We are 19 days into 2019. Funnily enough, I thought it would be a great day to tell you my 19 for 2019 plan. Some of them are the same as last years list. Truthfully, I didn’t have a brilliant 2018, and I didn’t succeed at many of my goals on the list. I touched on a few, but it really was a pathetic effort on my part. I let a situation that hurt me, taint last year, and while I can’t do anything about that situation, there was something healing about leaving the last year at the door of this brand new year. There were great moments, decisions and…

September – The Love Month
September is my favourite month of the year! Welcome to September – the month of sunshine and happiness! Our moderate-mostly-warm-Winter has gone, and Spring has come around again. The days are becoming longer, the birds are chirping, and the flowers are starting to burst and bloom with colour. There is a sense of excitement in the air, and I know its all because Spring has arrived. I think the best way to describe this feeling I have is that I feel my soul is rejoicing – Spring has arrived! Its a great time of year for so many reasons. 1. Warmer Weather. Spring means the weather is warming up and jumpers can be put…

Become a Tourist in your own City!
The school holidays are here and I don’t think I have to remind you all that I am ‘one of those mums‘. I am a mother who loves the school holidays. I count the days down to the holidays and I put off thinking about going back to school till I absolutely have too. Not because I dislike homeschooling, I just want to enjoy every moment of the holidays we can finding the balance between relaxing and adventuring together. Sure we could jump in the car and head up to Aussie World or the Australia Zoo, and there is nothing wrong with those options, but the cost of entry for a…

The Wise Words of Dave Rafter
On ‘Packed to the Rafters’ this week, Dave narrated the story line. He talked about trying to match their head with their heart with regard to one of the hardest decisions he and Julie would have to make in their lives. They had rationally and logically decided to sell their family home. They desired to live in this home until they were old, but their plans were to take a different course when they realised Ted, Julie’s dad, had accidently spent his life savings while playing an internet game. Ted is an alzheimer’s sufferer, and has reached a point where the Rafter’s have no choice, but to put him…

A Beautiful Gift
http://www.joybells.com.au Recently a very lovely friend of mine gave me a gift! Its a gift that I have to admit that I had never heard of before, and when I had opened it I was surprised and thrilled. I bet your wondering what my gorgeous little gift is? Well I will show you! It’s a Spongelle! I have used this gorgeous gift every time I have showered for the last 12 days, and its still going strong. The Spongelle is a beautiful bodywash infused buffer or sponge. This one is known as the Hot Spice Ginger Infusion, and lets just say that I feel fantastic getting out of the shower. This ‘Hot Spice…

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)…
