the end was just the beginning
I choked up yesterday as I read a blog post by Jenny Kanevsky called Why You Don't Need To Say 'I Don't Love You Anymore.' It included heart-wrenching lines like: "I don't know how long my ex was thinking, 'I'm done, I want a divorce.' He never talked to me about it. How long was he... Continue Reading →
I thought my attention span would increase with age, but I seem to be heading in the opposite direction. I am sooooo easily distracted. Ooooh, funny cat video; ooooh, chicken schnitzel slider burgers; ooooh, let's get tickets in the Boystown lottery house and turn the study into a sleepover room with bunk beds built into...

A Perth CEO called Linda Wayman put her foot in her mouth BIG TIME last week when she griped about too many of her employees getting pregnant and having the audacity to ask to work part-time after having their babies. She said stuff like: "We do have a big jar of condoms at work. I'm not... Continue Reading →
It's been a lonely week ... I was almost tempted to call this post "He's left me." But I decided that was too click-baity and naughty. DD flew out to China and Taiwan on a 10-day work trip last Tuesday. He's been spending his days in loooooong meetings and his nights eating entrail soup, though... Continue Reading →
There's an innocuous little box in the back of my wordpress site called "search engine terms" It tells me what people have typed into Google that's directed them to my site. Sometimes I think the box should be renamed "there is no hope for humanity." The things people search can be gobsmackingly horrifying. But yesterday,... Continue Reading →
I am deeply envious of my sister: she has given up alcohol (for a few months) and looks absolutely bloody fantastic. I wish I could give it up, but I don't possess her steely willpower. I love a cider at the end of a long day. I also love my food. DD suggested we share... Continue Reading →
I read a heap of divorce blogs yesterday, mainly because they popped up on my Facebook feed (I "liked" a zillion and one divorce sites in my dark days when I desperately was looking for answers) and they've messed with my head. My heart contracted for Serge Bielanko when he wrote about his divorce distress at Mom.Me. ... Continue Reading →
And so went my Tuesday afternoon, nervously attempting (and failing) to neatly inscribe the details for youngest's 9th birthday pool party on these ... I'll be sending a follow-up email with details that parents can actually decipher. The youngest is very, very chuffed about handing out her beach balls tomorrow and has insisted I take...

Blogging something vaguely interesting at HouseGoesHome 365 times a year has its challenges. Especially when I'm time poor ... which seems pretty standard now I'm a single working mum with a boyfriend and two dogs. Loads of people tell me I should take the occasional break from the blog, but I'm not very good at... Continue Reading →
My nightlife got a little crazy last week. I went to a dear friend's 50th last Saturday night and didn't quite recover before another week swept me off my feet again. I headed blearily to dinner with friends on Monday, then slept fitfully in fear of missing my 7am work start on Tuesday. While it sounds... Continue Reading →
