22 ways I’m becoming more crunchy, the older I get (and four ways I’m not). My brother-and-sister-in-law think I’m a bit of a hippie: in a style sense anyway. They always have. I lean towards the bohemian, I don’t keep up with fashion trends, I’m more likely to sport a number 2 shave than a $300 hair cut and I prefer birkenstocks to ballet flats. I’ve never had a problem with the title; at least I know I’ve never had to impress. My dear friend Sara. 22 ways I’m becoming more crunchy. 7 We grown our own h...

Discipline Fails |
https://mum-abulous.com/2015/07/09/discipline-fails
July 9, 2015. Mumabulous admits that she’s a lousy disciplinarian. She’d never be a hit (pun intended) on the BDSM scene. Let me elaborate. Exhibit A for the prosecution: The punishment debacle. One would think that we could make the 3 minute car trip between Chez Abulous and the local shopping mall (the very glamorous and salubrious Royal Randwick Shopping Centre – truly a local hub of excitement) without a fracas erupting in the back seat. Unfortunately computer says NO. P2: But she was teasing me.

Fuck you, Mummy Wars! | Rambling Rissa
https://ramblingrissa.com/2016/10/28/fuck-you-mummy-wars
A woman, on her soapbox. Fuck you, Mummy Wars! October 28, 2016. Before about my feelings about the “Mummy Wars”- basically, I think they’re shite. For some reason, at a time when we should be building each other up, the media seems hell bent on pitting us against each other. And it clearly works, given the amount of nasty and snarky comments I read from hot-headed keyboard warriors in the aftermath. This week, the social medias were awash with mummy war inducing tripe. Yet we keep going back for more.

A Time To Run’. The trouble with the sequel. April 30, 2015. April 30, 2015. My second novel is called ‘A Mother’s Work’ as in the saying ‘a mother’s work is never done.” And that’s the way it made me feel. As of yesterday, the manuscript rests in the lap of my publisher. I gave it a metaphorical pat on the head then booted it out on its own. But part of me absolutely shitting myself. My first story took about three years from when I started writing it to when it went to print (any day now! I’ve sent off...

Birthdays are a Fresh Start! – Dash of Tonic
http://dashoftonic.com/2015/06/birthdays-are-a-fresh-start
Birthdays are a Fresh Start! June 3, 2015. Birthdays are a funny thing. Some people like to shout it from the rooftops and party like it’s 1999 while others would prefer to hide under the doona all day. I always look forward to my birthday but sometimes I think I build it up in my mind and then the reality is much different. Like last week when I turned 36. I was up all night with my daughter, my workmates forgot my birthday, I got stuck in peak-hour traffic and I didn’t eat cake*. (WTF? Writing I need t...
