Morning routine. What's that again? Is that where we drag ourselves out of bed via the toddler alarm clock at 6ish...stumble to the coffee machine...make them breakfast, get them dressed, make school lunches, yell a lot about shoes and get in the car at some point, before or after the school bell has gone? Then [...]
The first couple of times I tried to meditate I felt silly and a bit embarrassed (even though no one was around) and I didn't tell anyone I was doing it for absolute ages. I downloaded a few different apps on my phone and I tried them to see what they were like. I lay [...]
I thought about this question and whether I had the courage to truly answer it. Whether I was brave enough to write it down. If my wins were outweighing my sense that I am just never quite the parent I want to be. Parenting is: scary wanting to be perfect never feeling quite [...]
How do you manage the long-haul flights with children? How do you take three kids under the age of 7 and make them sit nicely and sleep? As I discussed in Travelling With Your Tribe (Part 1) it's all about managing your expectations. Or, in essence, setting them aside. They might scream. They might get [...]
I've got three boys. One of them is an "I can't' child. One of them is an "I'm awesome" child. One of them can't yet speak in full sentences so I'm not going to categorize him 🙂 Which one do you think I'm most worried about? I know that isn't the be all, end all [...]
The world is changing. Technological advances, new discoveries, new ways of living. Pressure. Stress. Busyness. Debt. Materialism. Iphonitis. In my generation we were expected to go to school, after school, to go on to further study. These days you need a doctorate of that further study to be picked out of a line up for [...]
Watching my toddlers interact with the world is an awe inspiring activity because before they are told how to behave, how to act, where to be quiet, where to tone it down, they are themselves. But between our soft scoldings and their wide-eyed observations they come to the realisation that the real them won't cut it [...]
How you ever read a book and been so inspired, so excited that you just have to tell everyone about it? That the principles written in the book resonate so deeply that you take action? I have been tinkering around with a couple of blog posts in the last few days because I have read [...]
Do you hear voices? Is there someone in there with you or do you have no idea what I am talking about? Have you ever heard a voice tell you that you must go to the gym? Then the same voice, just hours later starts whining about how you’re tired, that you don’t [...]
These 10 things listed are so important to my well-being and ingrained in who I am that I wanted to share because I am happier because of them. I want you to be happier. I want the world to be kinder. I want people to feel the peace and contentment that I feel and realise that joy is yours for the taking.
