Why I'll never read Think & Grow Rich again 😬 2022 personal growth Sep 06, 2022

So this piece has been years in the making. Starting thinking about it in 2019, jotting down ideas and seeing references all over the place - but felt kind of weird about writing it. 

After all, Think and Grow Rich is a much loved book. Millions of copies sold and counting. It's revered in...

It's not all about mum 2022 family Aug 04, 2022

Well here we are again, what a relief to not have have to start the blog with "Wow, it's been a minute" because I wanted to get out part two before "the feeling" passed. Which means two blogs in one day. A new milestone. N'er to be repeated LOL

So there's always another side to a good story,...

My Favorite Selfie 2022 family Aug 04, 2022

I think I might whoop myself upside my own head if I start another blog with "wow, it's been a minute"... but...

Wow, it's been a minute.

Some things I just feel, deep inside, I need to write about. Something happens, I take the time to process it... and then every now and again I am compelled to...

Unleash The Glorious 2021 personal growth Sep 06, 2021

It's turned into a bit of a joke in our household, and Roddy said it again from the IMC stage last week "most of my best thinking is done by my wife".

Ha! It's not true. Roddy is sharp as a tack, I fear he doesn't need me one bit... but I will say this: two minds are indeed better than one (Ecc...

The one where I decide who I am going to follow Nov 20, 2020

 A quick follow on to Tuesday's blog allllll about that dumb picture with Rachel Hollis and the dumb tears.

You know, that experience left a mark.

Yes, one of total embarrassment... but it also gave me much to consider in terms of who truly deserves my time and attention. It's something I've...

The one where I lose my sh*t in front of Rachel Hollis Nov 17, 2020

 

Today, I'm regretting what I posted on Facebook yesterday. The God-awful picture above came up in my photo memories and I thought it was time. It's ok to post it. I can laugh at it now. Well, that seems silly now.

I was so mortified when I first saw this picture (let alone actually...

One Hundred And Eighty Two And A Half Days alcohol-free spirituality Sep 01, 2020

Today marks 182 (and a half) days since I stopped drinking alcohol. Half a year. A lot of people have asked me why and how I gave it up, so I thought I would commemorate today with a post all about it.

I think you either get it or you don't... for those that like the odd glass of wine, or drink...

The One Where My Mum Forgets Who I Am 2020 family Jul 29, 2020

We all go through "seasons", right? Ever find yourself in a really sucky season for much longer than you'd hoped? Yeah, same here.

I think I'm coming out of the darkest season of my life... it finally feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel again (now, the goal is to get out of the...

A Recommitment 2019 marriage spirituality Sep 09, 2019

 

I am sitting here, watching the clock... waiting. I'm supposed to be building out a new opt-in for Roddy's site... but I'm here instead. Writing. 

Babe is having a nose job today, can you believe it? LOL No, he hasn't gone all Boca on me... it's the second time he's having an op...

Resilient? Me? mental health motherhood Aug 12, 2019

 

Last night I was folding laundry and putting it away (aka the Marie Kondo method, which for anyone that is familiar with Ms Kondo knows folding laundry takes on a whole new level... I'm a little obsessed) when babe said "hey, did you see that email from Paul?"

"Uhhh no"

"It's about you"

So...

All Hail The New In-Authentics general ranting Feb 13, 2019

 

I'm gonna slip this 'lil blog under the wire and not make a big hoo-hah out of it... I haven't written in FOREVER (insert lots of eye rolling emojis here)

It's been a rough season, since Eliza's surgery in September 2018 really.

I'm finding it hard to get back into ANYTHING... so here's a...

Thinking + Praying 2018 scoliosis special needs parenting Aug 21, 2018

Last week I posted on Facebook asking for thoughts and prayers.

(And I just want to say.... a small disclaimer that I am not generally a fan of writing vague posts that leave people puzzling and wondering what on earth you are hinting at... but just at that very moment asking for thoughts...
