The Things I Learned From Middle School
Middle School Sartorial Choice Summer vacation is in full swing, my daughter is away at camp (she hasn’t written home yet, so I must assume she’s having too much fun to write Mom) and her final report card arrived today. She did terrific, earning a place on the honor roll. Middle school (or as some [...]
“Keeping abreast” – a breast cancer survival story
As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted to share my Aunt’s five-year story of surviving breast cancer, which is chronicled on my cousin’s fun and witty blog, The Patriotic Baker.

A post about nothing except my bum and blogging
This is a post about nothing much except blogging and my fat bum. That’s what we call our derrieres in Australia, where I come from. I am sitting here again in my exercise clothes on my fat bum on my uncomfortable office chair without having cleaned my teeth, brushed my hair or done anything else [...]
Bed rest blues…week four
I’m still pregnant, hooray! Amniotic fluid levels according to this week’s ultrasound is in the high-normal range. No signs of infection. I’m IV free, I have “outside privileges” (a.k.a.

Living on the cheap
It’s official. In two short months, I will be joining the millions of Americans that are unemployed. With a 16-month-old, and another on the way, my mission is to cut costs now, while my family still has two pay checks. My first place to cut back, the grocery store. I have an addiction to the [...]
The second time around, part 2 The weird and the scary
“The second time around” is a journal of a second pregnancy. Mom2 has a beautiful, energetic toddler. Since only family and close friends currently know she’s pregnant, she’s keeping her identity under wraps until she’s ready to shout the great news from the roof tops at work, or until her belly gives it away for [...]
Busy mom uses project manager skills like a real Wiz
How does she do it all? That’s what we wanted to find out. “Expecting too much of yourself is a sure fire way to never feeling like you have accomplished something,” says Jeanette McLeod, a mother of four, who runs an online publishing business, Wizz-E, from her home in London, UK. Follower her on Twitter [...]
