‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ is the question of the moment.Riley says she wants to be a Fire Engine Rescuer. I’m not sure if she wants to a person or an actual fire engine. But she also wants to know what I want to be and what Mr Goog wants [...]

I am Greedy With My Community

I’ll be honest. The problem I have with social media is that I’m building a community away from my blog. And I don’t fancy spending hours and hours of time invested in building someone else’s platform. Sure there’s alot of mutual benefits there and you won’t see me abandoning twitter or facebook or even google [...]

Cracking the StumbleUpon Code

It’s like the DaVinci Code, only it’s actually a mystery. The enigmatic nature of StumbleUpon tends to create people who use it religiously in the hope of those viral hits or people who abandon it entirely as a waste of time. The biggest criticism I’ve heard about StumbleUpon is not about it’s inherent randomness but [...]

So a few weeks ago I said I’d try out this batch writing and planned posts situation. At first I said I’d give a week a try, but people suggested I give it a few weeks so I can find my groove. This is my third weekend of writing everything for the week. And I [...]

The Clouds are Talking

I’m a little late with my week-end wrap up. I blame nausea. And I may blame nausea for everything for about the next 4 weeks. Yesterday, all the munchkin wanted to do was go outside. At a certain point Josh asked her to come in because it was raining. Clearly oblivious to the fact that [...]

Is it Spring Yet?

After a week of freezing temperatures, it’s a surprise that I got anything done beyond hanging out in the shower and shivering in the corner. At least there are signs that Spring is on the way – such as the disturbingly fat magpies that seem to be developing some kind of battle strategy in my [...]

Behind the Red Curtain

I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for awhile – a weekly round up of the blog and social media stuff for the week. It might turn into a regular thing or it might fizzle out completely. Impossible to tell. Most Popular The End of Surreal – on settling in to my pregnancy and [...]

The Real Mummy Bloggers

I have a girl crush on Kerri Sackville. There I said it. And if you haven’t checked out her movie series, you just haven’t lived. So when I heard that she’d been featured in a Sunday Life article (now posted online here) like a good little stalker I headed over for a read. It was [...]

Join the Campaign

If you follow me on Twitter, or do the Facebook thing, you’ve probably noticed me babbling on about the Smart Home Family. It’s a project run in Australia by Energy Australia and Sydney Water to trial a home that is set up with energy efficient technology for a year and blog about it. You can [...]

Banality of Cliques

Reading this post at Three Ring Circus today I could relate. I never made friends easily, in part because we moved around a lot and at school, everyone seemed to have known one another since Kindergarten. It was hard to break into cliques. Especially as a naturally shy person. One time I did push past [...]
