After a bizarrely sultry weekend at the beach - so totally unlike me to go for a splash, see Beached Wail for details - I headed back to the office on Monday after two weeks away, totally transformed. I was a Zen Mama! Husband has been rather scathing about my zen demeanor. He's convinced it won't... Continue Reading →
For all the sleepy sloths out there …
I ran out of time to blog today, so I'm posting a video of a sleeping bunny instead ... it was a toss up between it and the sloth cuddling the cat. Ah, what the hell, here's both ... Don't say I never do anything for you. Happy Friday!
Losing teeth and celebrating milestones
Welcome to post 1001 from HouseGoesHome (then goes back to work)! I should have been celebrating with the last one, but my 1000th post was a gossip blather. Didn't seem quite right. 1001 posts - can you believe it? Probably, going on the clutter I've created in your inbox, Facebook feed etc. Ah well- woo!... Continue Reading →
The babysitting incident
I've been regaling the (bored) Sprogs with tales of Mummy and Daddy's adventures abroad and reminding them that they once knew the "Badger" guests at the wedding we attended in Charleston. The groom, in particular, had the happy task of babysitting the Sprogs one day - when they were 2 and 4 - while I... Continue Reading →
I’m a zen mama
Well, I was yesterday at least. No wine. No Diet Coke. Laid-back demeanor the WHOLE day. It can't last, of course. No, I shouldn't say that. Because I really hope it does. I could do with a little more zen in my life. I wasn't always so tightly wound. I spent the first 35 years... Continue Reading →
Beached wail
Right, so the Household barely thought of the beach the whole of summer and now, in LATE APRIL, we spend most of the weekend there. What's with that? And what's with the weather? I mean, I'm not knocking it, but 29C on April 28 ... totally bizarre. Sprog 1 had a birthday party/sleepover at Maroubra... Continue Reading →

The week from heaven … and hell (with ninja badgers)
The jetlag has finally lifted ... I'm back in my normal up at 5am routine (how can that be "normal"?) ... and it's almost hard to believe that this time last week I was living it up in Charleston, South Carolina.Here's a little recap in case you missed the good bits (it won't take long,...

Holiday happy snaps
Husband came through with the goods - downloading the pics from our camera involves inserting a disc into the printer or something, kinda like changing a tyre, I'm resolving not to learn how to do it - so here are some highlights from our trip. Click on one image and it will become a full-sized... Continue Reading →
More bitchiness
Here I sit at the computer at 4.13am. Bloody jetlag strikes again. She's still being a total bitch. I admit going to bed at 7.30pm last night may have been a tactical error, but I was totally shagged. I could barely keep my eyes open during John Carter. What the hell is that movie all...
