So I suppose my birthday week has now officially come to an end, and what an amazing week it was. It began on Tuesday morning with a surpise breakfast in bed, pancakes with ice cream no less, and a coffee on the side. Amazing!! I was thoroughly spoiled with gifts including Lego Flowers! I didn’t…
Continue reading →My view on Christmas morning at 6:01am. I mean, Chance was ready to give me my gifts at 5:00am so I can’t really complain! I had the privelege of hosting my extended family on Christmas day and boy was it a cracker! (Pun intended. Always.) I put my hand up to have it at our…
Continue reading →Yes that’s right folks. Our little Darby-scooby-doo-the-poopser-nicompoop turned 7 on the 7th of December. There is so much I can say about Darby. This year has been a really significant one for him, as it was confirmed that he has ADHD and since that diagnosis, things have changed quite a lot. All I really ever…

Continue reading →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…
Continue reading →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…
Continue reading →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…
Continue reading →It has certainly been an interesting two weeks around here. After my last blog post, I got so many encouraging comments, on line and in person, and so much support. Thank you everyone! I feel as though I have caught up again and am in a much better headspace to keep moving forward with my…
