Fair Enough

Fairness is a funny thing. It seems like a good idea to be fair, but fair doesn’t necessarily mean equal, and things won’t always be even, but might seem fair. I think. Maybe. It’s confusing! I was trying to find some quotes around fairness, but none of them really resonated with me. This one got…

There is something very sacred and special about going away with a group of mums. Add some Prosecco, good food, a blow up prop named Derek and a creek nearby, and wow what a recipe for a good time! Some school mums and I made the time (no one has time, you have to make…
