HouseGoesHome – much as I love it – has come to symbolise the collapse of my marriage. Its birth coincided with a terrible turning point in my relationship. I didn’t notice. I was busy trying to glue myself back together after my career, health and parenting took a beating. I look back and realise the […]
I found a card while I was clearing out the attic. It said … I love you and I miss you and I will see you soon. I loved you all bright eyed and energetic when I left this morning. I look forward to loving you more when I get back. It made me very […]
What was your verdict on the Logies last night? As usual it went waaaaaaay too late, not wrapping up until around midnight, there were mixed reviews of Kylie Minogue’s performance including allegations on Twitter that she was miming, and Richard Wilkins won the award for worst joke of the night when he announced: “It’s official: Scott […]
What is it with me and over-scheduling? Yesterday was a whirl of my mother’s birthday lunch, cooking a dinner party for seven people and then taking the kids to “The Katy Perry Show” at a local suburban club. The Katy Perry bit was a late starter. A school mum messaged me at 8.45am and […]

I haven’t even baked it yet. I’ve just researched lots of recipes, fantasised about making them and shared a few of my […]
I’m hooked on seratonin too … and oxytocin … But before you stage an intervention, let me explain … I’m not a science geek (although I do love a good dinosaur or galaxy discovery) but in my search for inner peace following my marriage break-up – which keeps being thwarted by 3am mental gymnastics – […]
I got a few funny looks when I mentioned I was going to the Royal Easter Show with my ex yesterday. But it’s one of those things we’ve always done as a family that felt strange to no longer enjoy as a foursome. Husband collected us at the ungodly hour of 8am because I’d insisted […]
Was the bunny good to you yesterday? Here’s how the stars spent the weekend … >> Ricki-Lee posted this cute pic on Instagram with the caption: “HAPPY EASTER everybody!!!! The whole point of today is to eat as much chocolate as humanly possible right??? Haha” >> Beyonce wished her Instagram followers a happy Easter with […]
