It’s peak hour and I find myself walking the long way home with an overtired little bub wrapped tight against my chest and an empty pram skimming ahead of me - lighter having its precious cargo commuting by other means. The traffic roars past us with ferocity. It’s unnerving and I find my arm coiling [...]

Our Vegepod: a year on
Last year we bought a raised modular garden bed called a Vegepod. We were flying pretty blind at the beginning but had high hopes that the ole pod would give us a bit of a friendly push along - seeing as it's designed to be a fairly self sufficient little invention. As you may have [...]
This podcast isn’t working
No that's not a search term or a frustrated exclamation. It's the title of my first podcast. Yes, you read it here first - I am throwing caution and (more importantly) perfection to the wind and running wonkily through the fields of podcast land. What of this land? I do not know one jot dear [...]
Hopscotch moments
My daughter recently discovered the wonder of hopscotch. She watched with amazement as I sketched out the little boxes and numbers and then showed her how to jump from spot to spot. I hadn't meant for us to even be outside in the cold air but I felt practically suffocated by anxiety that day and [...]
Growing good stuff to eat: our Vegepod project
For our birthdays this year, my husband and I (with the help of family) invested in a raised garden bed called a Vegepod. It’s a modular, portable system that was featured on Shark Tank. It seemed really easy to use and good for renters like us so I decided to document the whole Vegepod build [...]

A quick preface: I started writing this post many weeks ago. And now - I’m actually finishing and posting it! This makes me really proud because I very rarely face the half-done jobs I’ve left in my wake. And here I am looking at my little greenies below and thinking “Thanks guys for being the [...]
Social media and I: it’s complicated and this is a cheesy title.
On our last family holiday I was happily perched on the couch one night with bubba sleeping soundly down the hallway and hubby beside me. I was doing what I always did - scrolling mindlessly through a social media feed on my phone - when I was suddenly confronted by a very disturbing post. I'm [...]

Behind the scenes: a psychology session
I wrote this post to answer the question "What's it like behind the closed door of a psychology session?" This is a trick question though! So, even though I have accurately answered it below, it has endless answers and all of them are right. For every person there's a unique version of the experience. There are limitless combinations of [...]
