Last Week I wrote about juggling writing with kids, inspired by a Twitter conversation with Nanny and fellow writer Elizabeth Hawksworth. As I promised at the end of that post, Elizabeth was invited to share her thoughts on the subject from her perspective. I really relate to what she has to say, so I hope … More Juggling Writing With Kids, a Nanny’s Perspective

Though I’m technically a stay-at-home-mum, I have the luxury of often having paid help around … More Juggling Writing with Kids

We’re just a few days short of Doyle’s nine-month mark and he’s currently going through some rapid development. I’m very impressed with how capable he’s becoming at standing.

He much prefers it from laying, and can sit for quite extended periods of time on his own now. At least a couple minutes! He can hold himself up, reach out for toys, pick them … More The magical six months
I’ve been slowly biding time, waiting for the 1st of August so we can finally remove the P plates from our car. Yesterday I received my licence renewal form and I finally have that 5-year option. It’s exciting that I’m not going to have to renew my licence again for another 5 years. Mind you, … More Soon-to-be a fully licenced driver
