Batting for Another Team

My husband truly is the best husband ever. On Saturday night he surprised me by organising my mum to come over to babysit, and then taking me out to dinner and to see Breaking Dawn. To say I was excited was an understatement. I love love love love the Twilight Series. The books particularly, but the movies are also really great. I’m impressed with how well they keep in step with the story, and there is not a whole lot of creative license taken. If you’re a fan of the series, or...

Planning Success

So I’ve spoken a little bit about heart training, but over the next couple of weeks, I want to get into how, and why I think it’s important. But all of that becomes a moot point, unless you have a plan. Parenting is not an accident. Yes sometimes little spermys crack the egg when it wasn’t planned, and before mummy or daddy was ready to be a mummy or daddy, but little people are never accidental.

The Review I Wasn’t Going To Write

This is the review I wasn’t going to write. I actually emailed the company to say I didn’t feel that I couldn’t ethically and honestly promote this product, and I wasn’t comfortable supporting a product I wouldn’t use myself. So what changed? When I was sent the Bioffective gel, and Siberian Red from Bioeffecives, I was skeptical. I’ll admit it. I’m not a big believer in natural, or herbal products. It’s not that I don’t think that they...

The PMT Challenge #CrazyVlogFriday

It seems I am not alone in my craziness. (Thank God!)Last week if you visited Mums Lounge, you might have been lucky enough to stumble upon this post. Go on, check it out, I’ll wait for you. So you’ve seen it? Ok, well I was impressed. Beyond impressed. In excitement, I picked up my iPhone, and raced to the kitchen to film myself, and tried posting to Facebook immediately. Well apparently You Tube was having a hissy fit, because no one could see it. So I thought I would get the...
