the end was just the beginning
My gawd my life was tumultous a year ago. It was four months after my husband left and I was starting to feel the veil of misery lift. According to Psych Central, there are the five stages of loss and grief after the loss of a close relationship, or to the death of a valued being, human... Continue Reading →
You know how Bruce Willis looks pretty awesome bald ... and kinda weird with hair? I had my first Brazilian wax last week ... and ... well ... I'm no Bruce Willis. You're probably wondering why I got a Brazilian prior to the coldest weekend to hit NSW in five years. A weekend so cold,... Continue Reading →
I spent most of last week popping Nurofen. News editing a parenting site is a pretty full-on job. It's also an expensive one if you stupidly get yourself two parking tickets after driving to work and parking in one-hour parking zones but only checking the tyres for chalk every hour and a half. Sigh. That... Continue Reading →
There's a celebration at my sister's place today ... we hold them all there since she did her schmicky renovation. Hanging out at her place is like being on holidays at some five-star resort. I feel a bit guilty about all the catering she does. I offered to help today, but my sis - like... Continue Reading →
I've been giving my Nikes a major work-out this week. Lots of relaxing walks with friends have cleared my head after getting totally over-hyped from spending a frenetic five days as acting news editor of Kidspot. I love combining lots of loud laughter with exercise. I was so desperate to get moving on Tuesday night... Continue Reading →
DD asked me what my plans were the other night. "I'm watching Chartbeat," I replied. It sounds like I was sitting in front of the tellie watching music videos, but Chartbeat is a tool that tells you how much traffic your website is receiving. As I'm acting news editor at Kidspot this week, it's become... Continue Reading →
It's a glamorous life being a blogger - I got invited to a paleo sausage launch yesterday. My first reaction: ewwwwwww. My second reaction: a fit of the giggles. My third reaction: actually ... I wouldn't mind trying a paleo sausage ... Here's what the PR had to say: I'm getting in touch to invite... Continue Reading →
Be careful what you write .... You know how I blogged yesterday about having a happiness facelift? Well my frown lines got a thorough work-out last night. I had a looooong day in the office (goddamn parenting news for just keeping on relentlessly coming), went on a panicked search for a 75th birthday pressie for... Continue Reading →
I wrote a blog last year called Chucking the Happy Pills. It was about realising how unhappy I was four years ago (when HouseGoesHome first kicked off). The blog noted .... People sometimes ask me what HouseGoesHome was like in its early days: patchy quality; frequently bleak; poorly illustrated. I remember my mother-in-law nervously suggesting... Continue Reading →
I feel like a bit of a slacker making my second blog post-digital detox a celebrity one. They're not universal crowd pleasers with HouseGoesHome followers, but I can't resist sharing selfies of stars during their unfiltered long weekend moments. You know, that whole once-a-weekly-magazine-editor-always-a-weekly-magazine-editor thing ... The reason for the stars' gay abandon is that it's... Continue Reading →
