Living The Journey
Menu planning is a well used term, and one that most people are aware of. If you ren’t basically its planning out the meals ahead of time for a week, fortnight or month normally. Some people do all meals, other just do dinner. I’m a dinner planner. Its the meal that causes me the most […]
This weekend I submitted my last 3 assignments for the teaching period. This marks 6 months since I started uni for my teaching degree. What a crazy ride its been with bushfires, hail storms, COVID-19 and all the restrictions that came with it. But I survived. My family is healthy and safe, my work I […]
I love the line in the Lord of the Rings by Bilbo Baggins: “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” It sums me up perfectly right now. I handed in 3 major assignments this week for uni and now I have to wait 2 weeks for the results. I’m trying […]
Because life isn’t crazy enough right now, the other night I hung out in the emergency department with Humphrey for a few hours. Sounds fun, right? Who wouldn’t want to spend a Tuesday night hanging with an unsettled 2 year old in an uncomfortable bed while his hand refuses to stop bleeding? We noticed a […]
Its been a few weeks now since we started this whole homeschool/work at home gig. And let me tell you it has had it moments.

This in turn means that Hubby and I have to rearrange our work schedules and try and figure out how to work […]
We entered the realm of high school this year. Our oldest graduated primary school and became a ‘grown up’ in some regards and yet he is still so small in others. It was a tense start to the year as he was the only one from his primary school going to his high school. He […]
My new job started on Monday and it has been a major information overload! My new role is so different to my old one that I feel like a little kid again. I’ve been mostly reading background information and attending meetings to try and make sense of the new area, and there is a lot […]
Remember when I mentioned I applied for a job that would increase my work hours threefold? Well this week I was offered the position, to start in 2 weeks time. I accepted happily and my boss started the process to transfer me across. While she was busy doing her part, I was talking with my […]
I did it! I made it to the end of my first teaching period at university. I not only survived, I did well. That I know of so far. Technically the period doesn’t end for another couple of weeks but I have handed in my last assignments, participated in my last online classes and all […]
