Spending my days at home with baby Zara has put my OCD into overdrive. I see clutter and chaos EVERYWHERE – the bookshelf of magazines and books I will never read again, baking goods in the pantry that are past their best before date, clothes that I haven’t worn for years in the wardrobe, the […]
My addiction to stuff
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am VERY organised and our apartment looks immaculate. Despite this, I have never been able to shake my childhood habit of collecting stuff – newspaper clippings from footy grand finals, years worth of Women’s Health magazines, eBooks I have purchased and then printed, bags full of old ribbons and gift […]
Setting boundaries this Christmas and New Year
Setting boundaries. What boundaries? I will be the first to admit that I have trouble saying “no”. It has manifested in me spending my evenings after work and weekends teaching/marking/podcasting/presenting…doing anything but relaxing!

My goals for October – Part 2
Here we are a week later and I am STILL celebrating my 30th birthday! I have been showered with Lorna Jane vouchers, gorgeous jewellery and beautiful (purple!) flowers, not to mention the gluten free cakes (yum!). The past week has really reminded me how lucky I am to be surrounded by amazing family and friends […]
