#diaryofasahmgoesbush. Sort Of
At the time of writing, I am at a concert of sorts, being held as a fundraising event for one of Boatman’s mates. I’ll be honest; it’s not my cup of tea. But I shan’t complain. It’s been a week full of opportunities to not complain. On Tuesday, we set out in to the vast unknown, to visit friends in the Arnhem Land community of Gunbalanya. It seemed such an innocent, foolproof plan. 1. Drive down the stuart highway until you reach the Arnhem Highway. CHECK 2. Turn...

It’s highly possible that as a child, I suffered some form of OCD. For a good portion of my life (according to my childhood memory; it could actually have only been two weeks), I was convinced that things had to be reversed or I would suffer dire consequences.

Read MoreThe Toilet Ambush Interviews
Four weeks ago, mummy bloggers Australia wide convened in Mebourne for the Digital Parents Conference. They came from far and wide; so many different personalties and passions; different niches and areas of expertise. All with one thing in common. Blogging. And the need for the toilet. So maybe, two things. This blogger also attended said conference. She had much to gain, and amongst her list, a top priority. To find out who amongst the mummy blogging community could, with pride, declare...
