Picture this; My kids and I driving along. It was a beautiful spring day, our windows were down. Blue sky, wind blowing our hair. We were all dressed up very excited. We were heading off to a baby shower.. We pulled up at a stop light. And I, ummm…. started to ahhh, clear out my nose - As you do when you’re stoped at traffic lights.. There was no-one around no-one could see. Well that was what I...

I have had this question going through my mind over and over and over. Should I share? Should I keep this to myself? I have many friends/colleagues/ business associates that read my blog so would it be silly of me to share such private information? I then went on question myself. Well is that being completely honest? Or is it half a truth? Is it half a story? I thought further, I delved deeper...

Unfortunately in our society not all people have a good network round them. Our ‘old style” village no longer exists. I wanted to create a space where people could feel safe to ask all sorts of questions – Judgement free.

What does ok mean? does it mean that you are happy? Does it mean that you feel good about yourself? Do you look in the mirror and say, you know what I’m ok? When you are walking along and happen to see yourself in a reflection.. What do you see? Do you see a beautiful smile looking back at you? or do you see everything you need to change? I recently looked in the mirror seen all sorts of horrible...

History: Kelly (I.M 2) and I used to work together here. Kelly was the production editor, I was the Creative Director. Scene: We had taken our kids to Macca’s Redlynch, Cairns. We had already been there 3 hours- Happy kids = Happy Mum’s.. Me: “Hey Kelly I need you to take some new photos of me. “My hair has changed so much so I need an updated pic” Kelly: Ok, then when do you want to do it? Me: “...

Our children are our number one priority and we all strive to be the best possible mentor to them. But let’s face it – we cannot do it alone. I like to think of the village approach - each person in your child’s life has something important to contribute towards their future. Building and maintaining strong positive relationships with the key figures in yourchild’s life can enhance and strengthen...

When I first became a Mother it was such a shock to me. I seriously had no idea that I would find it so overwhelming. After losing our first beautiful angel Titan prematurely; and struggling to hold on to Maya and Tex. My introduction to Motherhood was quite an interesting one. When I finally became a Mum I remember one day sitting in my lounge room floor holding Maya; she was absolutely perfect...

This is not a fluffy post, teaching your kids about their inner voice could save their life. Whether you call it god, your intuition, your higher self, your gut.. Do you listen? Do you take head? I remember watching at T.V program in which a man was talking about intuition/gut. Can’t remember his name. He was saying that humans, are the only animals on the planet; that don’t listen to their gut...

I remember coming home from school. I must have been about “8″ maybe. My heart was broken. I had just had a fight with a friend, she had moved on, she didn’t need me any more. I was completely shattered. I remember looking up to my mum, with tears in my eyes. She bent down and said. ”Kristy you will only ever have 5 friends” in your life, as in ‘real’ ones. Your heart will break many times, this...

I have been receiving emails from people asking for social media tips so here they are. 1. Work out your theme/purpose I decided early what the purpose/mission for my blog was. So every decision I made from that point was easy. I didn’t need to think too much. When coming up with your direction/theme (“brand” if you like), you need to think about what you want to be “known” for. Whatever you do...
