Stuff’s been happening

I’m sitting at a table that is not my own, surrounded by people who can look after themselves, looking at treetops and the ocean, listening to the wind and the rain, and loving the buzz of activity around me. I am lucky enough to be in an AirBNB on the Sunshine Coast for two nights…

Pizzey’s, Easter 2021

Well my friends, we did it! We survived, and even thrived during our five days on the Burrum River. When telling people about Pizzey’s it’s really hard to explain and describe. But basically it’s fishing “shacks”, built in “units”, a makeshift kitchen where we all make food together, a bucket shower, a flushing toilet (as…

Happy Easter!

It’s Good Friday which means we spent the day at Mum and Dad’s and got one of the best views in town for the start of the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht race! It was a very windy day so the boats flew past and it was over fairly quickly, and a much smaller group this…

That’s a wrap

In true Domagala family style, my birthday lasted a whole week. Woo! I had a couple more cards arrive in the mail during the week, some belated, yet still very much appreciated birthday wishes, and today I received what I can assume to be my final gifts. The flowers are from my good friend and…

After working on assessments for nearly two full days, (and submitting everything!) I was really ready to have a drink or two with my wonderful crew of school mums…

The Brick Pit

Everything in life is a process. Most of what we do is automatic, with processes that have been fine-tuned over time for maximum efficiency. Then there are the jobs/tasks/self growth opportunities that take time and thought and commitment, and, more often than not, outside help. Our Lego collection reached a stage about a year ago…

A mixed bag

Gosh has it really only been 6 days since my last blog post? There has been so much happening around here! Let’s get into it! The Christmas tree is up!! And we love it 🙂 I spent most of Tuesday in hospital with this nugget. He had a pretty nasty post-viral wheeze that we couldn’t…

Darby-doo

And just like that, this cute little baby is now six. He really was the sweetest little baby. Slept well, fed like a trooper and was happy ALL THE TIME!! Okay, that’s not possible. But he sure was a happy baby. And a damn cute toddler. From the age of about two onwards, he has…

Punch, Dip & Cake

No this isn’t some awesome new boxing combination, although I would be all over it if it was! I’m talking about the perfect trifecta for a party. Growing up, we were always having parties at our place. Every birthday was celebrated, as well as New Years Eve parties and Christmases. And the three things that…
