As I have said in my previous post on meditation, this year I have had many signs that I need to further my studies in this area. For Christmas I had asked to be booked onto a course that I had heard about through friends and. It was a one day course through the Perth [...]

Day 1 – Changing My Children’s Eating Habits
So theory and thought-provoking books are great. It's all well and good to say that French children eat everything (you can read yesterday's post here) but how do we put it into practice with our own children? Yesterday was Day 1 of Operation Three Meals a Day. My first ditch attempt at slowing down the rate [...]

How To Get Your Mama Mojo Back
We are pushing ourselves up one hell of a hill. Not only are our expectations of ourselves greater but we have Mummy bloggers (apologies) and pinners crafting and baking and photographing all these beautiful meals, outings and fun times that our kids ARE NOT HAVING. AAAGH. Better get out the baking gear or my children [...]

Love List
SOOO many exciting things happening in my world this week. Although I am shortly going to post a story about knife-wielding toddlers and pasta-snaring dogs, I do have a fairly extensive love list!

Oh My….I Finished The Book
Well, all three really. Though technically 50 Shades of Grey (50 Shades Darker and 50 Shades Freed) is really one story split into three books cause it's just so long. It was our "unofficial" bookclub book this month. Unofficial because we'd already chosen a book but it would be remiss of us not to read [...]

Start Your Own Bookclub
One of the funnest things we've done in the last couple of years is to start a book club. We got the idea when my best friend and I were reading the Twilight books together. It was so much fun to talk about what was happening with Edward and Bella and where we were up [...]

The Paris Wife – A Review
I don't know how people write reviews without spoilers. I'm going to try. Book Club's choice of the month was The Paris Wife by Paula McLain. I wasn't overly excited. I'm not a huge fan of anything not set in modern times (though books like Tully by Paullina Simons are a definite exception to [...]

Parlez Vous Francais?
I don't. Speak French that is, but I'm thinking I might be a closet Francophile. I've spent a bit of time there and between the magic of Paris, amazing patisseries, the gorgeous wine and the history, its certainly not a hard sell to love France. But that's not the bit I'm currently obsessed with. I [...]
