I'm not the Expert, I'm the Experiment!
Crash tests for an Easier Motherhood! Routines, cleaning, paperwork, to do lists, storage, finances, decluttering . . . all that stuff that gets on top of you if you don't get on to it first. This is stuff I was great at in a professional capacity, but as a mum it has fallen by the wayside.

Easier Cooking
I’m taking a quick departure from the roadmap this week, in fact I’m changing my mode of transport altogether and flying to sunny Queensland. This week will be all about how I try and make cooking easier, and hopefully happier and healthier too. I’m off to Noosa as one of 9 Australian finalists, and a [...]
Features sponsored product Ask me the one thing that would make motherhood easier for me and I’ll tell you “someone else to do the cleaning!” Well, recently my wish kind of came true when Erica (a lovely PR) emailed me and asked if I’d like to try a robotic vacuum AND give one away! Well, [...]
My Mindful Christmas Plans are well underway and for a change I actually feel organised and calm about Christmas. Letting go of all the hype and expectation makes it easier. Focusing on what’s important feels better. So without further ado, our Christmas Plans . . . Tradition and Meaning Teaching the kids about giving [...]

Popcorn tumbles down the fronts of the kids’ new PJs as they watch a classic Christmas movie from my childhood. The smell of popcorn mixes with the delicious aroma [...]
Are you living in chaos? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! That’s me tearing my hair out at my completely chaotic, messy, ‘can’t bloody find anything’ life! I need something to blame it on. Let me explain something to you. I used to be really good at this stuff. REALLY GOOD! Ok, I was never overly tidy, but I was [...]
Today one of the stand alone drawer units we are using in our crappy kitchen broke – beyond repair. We took the opportunity to replace both the drawers and our too tiny food cupboard with a new pantry. When I was unloading our narrow dark little cupboard, I was surprised at how much food it [...]

So you would think that running out of money would be a big enough firecracker to get me budgeting like a fiend right? Well, no. It’s been two weeks and I can’t even bring myself to reply to everyone’s (very generous and lovely) comments. Why? Because then I have to face up to it and [...]
This is me handing our last $20 to CrashHubby so he could go back down to the petrol station and make good on an IOU so they wouldn’t call the police! We have never run out of money before. I guess there’s a first for everything! Luckily we’ll only be without funds for two days. [...]
