How was your Chrissie? I was up at sparrow's fart - as usual - and was sure I'd be joined by an excited little person but she didn't struggle out. It was only when my mum and dad knocked at 7am (blow me down I never expected them to keep that promise) that the kids... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas to all my HouseGoesHome readers! Hope you have a wonderful day with family, friends or both. My gang are still slumbering so I thought I'd sneak a blog out.

Because the online dictionary tells me holiday means: "a period of cessation from work or one of recreation". Here's what today looks like for me. Pack separate day packs and overnight bags for both kids. Pack lunch bags for both kids.... Continue Reading →
I yelled a lot at a stranger yesterday. I'm not proud of it, but it was one of those WTF moments where you just can't help yourself. Bloody Australia Post. Don't they realise they're teetering on extinction? You'd think they'd at least try to keep it modern. Just a few days ago, Canada Post announced... Continue Reading →
