Now, we’ve all put on some lippy while stopped at the lights, but here are some stupid things I’ve seen people doing whilst driving [...]

Are you a menace on our roads?

Safe SUV driving with Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres

*Features sponsored product As part of my Crash Safe Campaign I wanted to explore some issues around driver safety related to the vehicles we choose to drive. SUVs. People either love SUVs or hate them. Usually based whether they own one or not. They are certainly notorious when it comes to effects like pollution, obstructing [...]

The one where I crash. How Crash Safe are you?

Crash Safe

I’m not called Crash Test Mummy for nothing.  I have 3 car crashes to my name.  Not something I’m proud of, and also not something I thought of much when I became a parent. Approximately 500 children are killed or injured each year on Australian roads. And far too many adults too.  It scares the [...]

Last week I was given a Kambrook Little Chef's appliance that made CrashGirl go absolutely ga-ga! I met the good folk from Kambrook at a blogging event and they kindly gave me an Angel Cakes cupcake maker and a Cool Cupcakes recipe book. Well, CrashGirl spied the pink a mile off! We went out shopping [...]

My latest crash test is taking place right now. I’m writing this post using Blogsy, an app designed to blog on the iPad. It works with a number of blogging platforms. I’m using it for my WordPress blog because frankly, the WordPress app bites. I’ve had all sorts of problems from it freezing and losing [...]

How people behave when they think nobody can see

I’m struggling to see the fun in this Friday. In fact it’s a pretty miserable Friday because me and the kidlets are all sick and last night I broke a tooth! I’m heading off to the dentist soon, but before I go, some thoughts and observations . . . Ever wanted to be a fly [...]

Have you heard about our new Community Review site yet? Well it’s ready to go and our first community crash test will be the dishwash liquid from ecostore: I thought I’d keep in the theme of cleaning and organising given the current challenge asks us to “Shine our Sinks” FlyLady-style ;) I’m looking for 10 [...]

Challenge Update: What challenge?

OK, so I’m probably sounding a bit cocky here!  But I have to say that I think I’ve nailed this whole no sugar thing.  CrashHubby and I are at the end of week 4 (half way!) and so far neither of us have suffered any major withdrawal symptoms. Nor have we threatened to bite each [...]

{Condition Report} A tired Thankful Thursday

Thankful Thursday

I could tell you my condition report in one word right now – tired!  Exhausted even.  Too tired to type, so I’ve vlogged. This week I’ve been thankful for the support I’ve received as my wee surgery approaches, my brother who is helping me with Operation Crash Hot, and his sister-in-law Danielle who is going [...]
