I love things that match. Even if it’s a 4am training run in the dark, I still match my running gear down to my socks and undies. I know it’s weird but I can’t help it. On race days I always find out the bib colours and match them to …
I eat a lot of sushi rolls because in my head I think they are diet food even though my trainer tells me I could eat chips and it wouldn’t be much different (he takes his carbs slightly more seriously than I do obviously). Every time I go to my …
I am forty one years old. I quite like being this age. I don’t really understand these ageing celebrities who are desperately trying to cling to their youth. I understand they must feel threatened by the prospect of not getting the attention they once used to, but the ones who make themselves look …
I do a lot of exercise. Not surprisingly my exercises of choice do not involve an enormous amount of coordination. Running and CrossFit. Because I am not very coordinated. CrossFit is about as sophisticated as I will ever get because I’m pretty accident prone. Am quite sure the dry cleaner …
We had an absolutely amazing time in London. But as they say, all good things must come to an end and it did. Which meant one thing … that horrible twenty-four hour flight back to Sydney. I’m a little ashamed to say that I’ve been a bit spoilt with the …
As I’ve proved time and time again, strange things happen to me. Today is a home day so just before lunch I always take our dog, Peanut, for a walk with Jude. Today we walked a few streets from our place and past the street where I grew up and …
This probably won’t interest you if you are a male reader. Unless you want to read about menstruation .. but if that’s what floats your boat then you’re in the right place. Ok, so periods. We all get them, it’s part of human female function and yadda yadda yadda. As …
Because I have no saturday night social life and my children were all busy staring at the digger we currently have sitting in our back garden, I decided to be brave and scroll through my Instagram photo gallery. Last week marked the four month anniversary of our arrival in Sydney …
I have a really heartfelt apology to make. In recent years I have criticised and made unfair judgment about a certain group of people within our community, both here and overseas. I’ve been quite vocal in publicly insisting that this group, predominantly women, were wrong in their beliefs and actions …
I’m pretty darned good at embarrassing myself in public. I’ve blogged about it before, here and here and here. As you know, I run a lot. My favourite Sydney run so far is through Lane Cove National Park. Starting at the Lady Game Drive gate and running up to Lane …
I am having a dreadful week. Yesterday I embarrassed myself when I wee’d all over the floor at the gym thanks to the damage my four children did stomping all over my pelvic floor during pregnancy. And then today this happened. I had my eyebrows butchered by a sadistic eyebrow …
I learnt something very important about myself at the gym today. I like to think I’m quite self aware but I guess there are still things I’ve yet to learn. Like that my pelvic floor and Body Attack classes are not friends. Not. At. All. I didn’t have much time …
I am a very organised and tidy person. Too organised if you ask my husband and kids. I like things done a certain way, within a certain time frame and to a certain degree of quality. I just re-read that and basically I sound like a giant pain in the ass. …
I am always on the lookout for things to blog about. Amusing things. Luckily I live in a country whose media offer me a plethora of things to laugh about pretty much each day. In fact I needn’t look much further than a certain media publication, but more about that …
I’m fairly certain I’m going to be one of those psycho mother-in-laws. The type you sometimes hear referred to as monster, dragon … or vampire bat. I have visions of my sons’ girlfriends talking to their friends saying “I’ve met this really great guy but his Mum is such a …
