Happy Friday everyone. I’ve made a vlog for you, and yes it isn’t short and snappy so watch it when you have a spare 5 mins, like now ;)
Is it possible to be exhausted and energised at the same time? If so, I’m a walking contradiction at the moment. I’ve been doing lots, I’ve got lots of exciting things on my plate and good things to look forward to. Too bad the body doesn’t want to play along at times.
Let’s have a chat shall we? It feels like I haven’t ‘seen’ you in ages.
Take care,
Laney x
It’s Friday so I’m linking up with Grace for Flog Your Blog Friday. A great way to catch up with and find new bloggers :)

Um, definitely no masterchef here! That’s for sure! 30 minutes is very tight. Sooooo nervous.
Oh wow, live cooking?????!! Now THAT I couldn’t do…. you’re brave.
Sorrento Sessions: I like! xxx Take care and keep looking after yourself.

Not brave at all. Everyone in the audience will be able to hear my knees knocking as I manage to slice my own finger off!
Wow super exciting times ahead in Crash land. Best of luck for the cook off, I am sure you will be awesome at it.
Fairy wishes and butterfly kisses and have a great weekend.
Oh and I love the idea of a Sorrento Session, you should check in with Kia for a bit of sponsorship there!

Thanks Rhianna :). Sorento Sessions do sound pretty good to me, I can only hope Kia think so too!
Lovely vlog. I can understand why you’d be a little overwhelmed at the idea of the food and wine gig but I’m sure you’ll nail it.
take care of yourself.
Mandy.

Thanks Mandy. It was a little long, but to be quite honest, I was to exhausted to edit it back. Will try and keep them shorter! Now if I had to do something with wine I’d be fine, but food and cooking freak me out!
Congrats on the Gourmet Garden finals – send Crash Test Hubby in your dressing gown and I guarantee you’ll get through to the next round. You’re welcome ;-)
Sorrento Sessions sounds fancy, like there should be some cool cuban music in the background and wine. I’m in.
Thanks – I love that idea. CrashHubby would be so much better at it than me. He can whip something up no worries. I also love your idea for music and wine during my Sorento Sessions – the stationary ones that is. I’ll just stick to the music when I’m driving!
Cook! I freak out re cooking full stop, let alone LIVE cooking. What a great opportunity though. How exciting! And yes, you can be completely exhausted yet energised at the same time. Story of my life … often producing cranky tired smiling and completely confusing tears …
Thanks for stopping by Leanne! LIVE cooking on stage is going to be so bloody hilarious. I’ll be happy if I don’t set the place on fire ;)
I Love the “Sorrento Sessions”. Best of luck with the cook off – I could NOT handle that – I get a bit stressed – and ‘sweary’ in the kitchen! ANd the Problogger event – wow! When I saw some pics of the BIG 4 cabin I could not believe how inviting it looked, it looks great for the family but the thought of going by myself (with my laptop and some books) would be awesome. Keep taking care of yourself and hope you have a great weekend too Laney. :)
Happylan’s last post..Soulmates

Congratulations on all the exciting news happening with you lately and good luck for the cook off. I’d be as nervous as a rat in a snake enclosure if I had to cook on stage – seriously, I’d be that scared.
When I saw you at the wine event duing DPCON you were a cool, calm and collected host. I have no doubt you’ll do very well!

Awesome work on the cook off! I would be totally freaking out about that! You will nail it, I am sure! And get some one to take lots of photos!! The Bellarine Big 4 sounds so great! Might have to plan a trip at some point with the kidlets.
Take care of you Laney. Slow down!!! xx
Lee’s last post..{32/52} being and doing
I actually just heard yesterday from some other mum bloggers who I met up with that you’re in the finals of the cook off…Congratulations!!! You’ll do fabulously, I’m so sure of it !
Take care of you x
Grace’s last post..FYBF – Return of the Princess Leia buns
Sheesh, you do have a lot going on! LOVE the Sorrento Sessions. I have a real thing for car-photos and car-vlogs…they’re my favourite.
Gourmet Garden..MY GAWD, live? In front of real people? You are a very brave woman. I hope they give you a brief beforehand so you can prepare.
Problogger!? That’s fabulous. Congratulations.
BIG4 was great fun wasn’t it? I can’t wait to go back. My kids would love it. And I want another bounce on the big pillows!
Take care of yourself. Lots of sleep. Keep that adrenal fatigue at bay. x
Kate @ Our Little Sins’s last post..day 2 | 100 Pantone postcards project
Wowee lots going on for you! Congrats on the cook off – that whole “cooking in front of people” thing is exactly why I avoided that comp LOL I wanted to play along but the thought of cooking on stage freaked me out (cos you know, there was a HUGE possiblity I was gonna get through to that round :P).
Congrats on problogger too, I wish I was going but I have a family wedding that weekend. I will be at NNB2012 though.
Glad to hear that you’ll be taking care of you, it sounds like you’re going to need some extra TLC.

I loved your vlog and congratulations on the cook off,thats is a real compliment to your cooking.I really appreciate your openess in saying that all you have to do and all that you want to do is tiring and not easy.I think those words will help alot of mums.The magazines are always full of articles on women who have and do it all and can make real mums feel inadequate.You have helped us feel normal.Its not always easy.
Thankyou for your raw honesty and good luck with it all.You are amazing xx
Look after yourself Laney :) So much going on for you. Enjoy the ride.
