On this day in 2010 at 10:01pm I became a mum. What an incredible journey I have been on ever since. No matter where we moved, I found my village, starting with my beautiful mums group in Wangaratta, and currently with my Nashvillagers in Brighton, as well as so many mums and dads and friends…
Continue reading →One of the reasons Kristian and Kate came up from Melbourne, apart form seeing us, was to attend Dad’s 70+1 birthday party. We had planned to have it last year of course, but because of Covid, it got delayed a year. But boy was it worth the wait! Mum thought it would be fun to…
Continue reading →I just haven’t had the writing bug this year, but that’s okay, as pictures tell a thousand words! We headed up to Hervey Bay for a weekend away to attend a wedding, and we made a 4-day weekend out of it, staying at an AirBNB in Toogoom. It was magic! This was at our doorstep:…

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…
Continue reading →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…
Continue reading →I’ve just spent half an hour with online tech support to get my blog all updated and working again! So let’s talk all things birthday week! 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…
