Knowledgeable But Not A Know-It-All
Yesterday I had to go and choose products to go in our new bathrooms. There was toilets, baths, vanities, basins, tapware, showerheads and tiles to choose. This type of shopping can excite some people. It terrifies me! I don’t really know what I’m doing and how my choices will impact my bathroom long-term. I was…
A Good Night
Last night I went to bed at 10 o’clock. Just as I was dozing off to sleep our four-year-old woke up from a nightmare. It took a little while to settle him but he soon went back to sleep. At 1 o’clock our one-year-old woke up crying. I gave him a bottle and he soon went back to sleep….

A Warm Welcome
I was recently invited to go to a conference for a couple of days. I had to travel away from family and it’s was the longest time I was going to be away from my 1 year-old son. When I arrived at the hotel to check in I was told that there was a special…
Easter Sunday – Black Saturday fires
In the lead up to Easter my friend was remembering the Black Saturday fires that happened nearly 10 years ago in Victoria. This fire ravaged a national park and annihilated homes and 173 lives. The surrounding area was left bare and black. But that was not the end of the story. Over time the black…
