So, we are now up to week three of my “Fitness Journey”. Weeks one and two sure left something to be desired, and yet I had laughingly high hopes for Week three. Now, I would reeealllllly like to say that I haven’t done anything downright stupid this last week at the gym, except that if I did so I would be completely lying. And those of you who actually know me would instantly know it for a downright lie because I ALWAYS seem to do something stupid at the gym. (more…)
Holy Moly I’m excited. My fingers are kinda trembly, and I feel like I could just BURST because I am so excited. And do you know why I am excited? No, you sigh, and please don’t make me guess. Well, because it was our first Christmas as a family with our sweet baby! Raaaaaarrrrr! Hooray! (more…)
Well, its safe to say that Week One of my “Fitness Journey” was a bit rubbish. Missed it? Read about it here! Ok, so Week One may have been rubbish, you say. But how did you go on Week Two? Well, to be honest with you, Week Two also started off pretty poorly, but I eventually found my groove so it ended with an absolute BANG! Woohoo! You Go Girlfriend (I creepily whisper to myself as I sit here, typing out my memories from the week that was)!! (more…)
Ahhhh holidays. The excitement, the anticipation, the sense of impending adventure. We went on our first family holiday at the end of October with our then five and a half month old baby boy, and Noosa was our destination. We couldn’t wait to frolic amongst the sunshine, the surf, and be surrounded by the sweet sweet air of anywhere else but here. (more…)
Well, it’s official. I have decided to put myself on a “Fitness Journey”. I recently decided that I am sick of not being able to fit into my pre-pregnancy “skinny” jeans without my mummy belly (which is a full size bigger than my legs these days) completely oozing out over the top. On the bright side I can still essentially do them up, however I just about have to forgo breathing for the entire time I wear them. And if those jeans don’t have room for lungs, then they certainly don’t have room for chocolate. And we can’t have that now, can we? (more…)
Easy Peasy Satay Chicken. Who doesn’t love a good bowl of it?! Now, this recipe is NOT for someone with peanut allergies, or for someone who might be planning on kissing someone with peanut allergies after dinner, however for the rest of us, it is fruitin’ tootin’ pea-nutty deliciousness. (more…)
Do you have something you really want for Christmas, but are too polite to come right out and ask for it? Errrr, yes?! Thats me EVERY blooming year! Well friend you have come to the right place, because here is a foolproof way of getting what you want without actually having to wade through bags of undies that don’t fit, or last Christmas’s re-gifted broken box of Monopoly from crazy Aunt Jenny. (more…)
Life is damn busy. Before I went on maternity leave, I got through my every day running purely on adrenalin. I was towards the end there, in serious danger of burning out and losing my mind. (more…)
Oh. Em. Gee. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies. These melt in your mouth, decadent, rich, chewy Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are heavenly. They are divine. They are life changing. They are so good they should be illegal. (more…)
It was early Saturday morning, and it was the day of “The Toy Sale”. My husband and I drove to The Toy Sale completely pumped. We had carb loaded the night before for energy, and had blood pumping music roaring through the car speakers on the way to the event, to put us in the mood for the biggest toy grabbing throw down this side of the Southern Hemisphere.
