Our Best Mates

I was visiting Moondusts Mumspace earlier this morning when I saw her son’s bear.  What great mates our teddy bears are, aren’t they? I though that i would post a pic of my kids best mates.  I think I love them as much as my kids do. This is Frosty the Winter Bear -  a Beanie Kid.  […]

I’ve been nominated - please vote for me!

I woke up this morning and staggered out to the computer as I normally do - shuffling slippers, hair on end and Real Mum’s Mug in hand.  I was looking exceptionally glamorous this morning, wearing my decorative black bags beneath my eyes.  The computer had obviously had a hard night as it took ages to start […]

The Last Post and Red Poppies.

Today is Anzac Day and the last post has sounded.   It always makes me cry with its plaintive sound.  When I think of the Anzacs the Last Post is always playing in my head. I love the Flanders Poppies that are so closely entwined with the Anzac legend.  The poppies sprang up in the fields where the […]

You’re Going Somewhere

I just came across a singer called Christine Kane.  She has written a song called "Right Outta Nowhere" which is inspirational.  This woman overcame depression and an eating disorder by jumping headlong into life change.  You have to admire the guts that must have taken.  She lives by the zen belief that  "Leap and the […]

What do you want to be?

I never did decide what I wanted to be when I grew up.  Did you? I remember going to our Careers Night which was really just a large hall full of trestle tables filled with leaflets.  Pick up a leaflet and keep walking.  There was no such thing as careers counselling.  I remember going home with […]

Road to Success

"The road to success is always under construction"                                                 Lily Tomlin   What a true statement that is.  Everyone tells me that we make our own success in life.  We choose the path and we follow it.  Taking it that one step further, if there is no road to your goal, then build one.  Ms Tomlin is spot on […]

A terrorist in my lounge room

Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed.  Today was one of those days. I am a morning person.  I love the quiet start to the day.  Now that it is autumn I love the foggy, crisp mornings leading into warm, serene days.  When I woke this morning I had an unsettled feeling.  It […]
